Preparation

1) Download Fixwareout.exe from here and save it to your Desktop.

2) Download the trial version of Ewido Anti-Malware from here and save it to your Desktop.
When the download has finished, locate ewido-setup.exe and double click it to begin installation.
**If you already have Ewido installed, update it and go to 2)**

In the 'Additional Options' window, uncheck both:
'Install required for automatic updates (background guard)' and
'Install scan via context menu'.

When installation is complete, you will need to update Ewido to the latest definition files.
To do this:
Double click the Ewido Desktop icon.
In the main screen, on the left hand side, click Update.
In the following screen, click Start Update

A progress bar will show how the update is going. When it has finished updating, close it.

If you have problems with the updater, you can manually update Ewido. Click here.
Select the 'Full Database' download, save it to your Desktop and double click it to install.

Ewido Anti-Malware is designed to be used to both scan for and remove malicious files and also to run alongside, but not replace, your existing anti-virus program to give an added layer of protection.
However, as the real-time protection may interfere with the fixing of your PC, this function will have been disabled as long as you followed the installation instructions correctly.
At the end of the trial period, Ewido will revert to a stand-alone scanner which you can keep and update for free and use in a similar way to Ad-Aware SE Personal.
Should you wish to benefit from the real-time protection, you will need to upgrade the program. To do this simply open it and click on the Buy now online button.

3) You will need to know how to boot into Safe Mode.
Instructions can be found here.
