Have you got access to another computer or laptop? you may have to download and burn the Kaspersky Rescue Disc 10 to a CD or DVD.

If you can get the Kaspersky disc, the download site should explain how to use it, otherwise someone here will talk you through it.

Go into safe mode with networking and try and download and run Hitmanpro 3.7

enter link description here

See if that works.

If using I/E go into Internet options.Connections.Lan.Top box should be ticked but if Use a proxy server is ticked underneath it untick it.press Ok and quickly update and run your security programs.

Ok try this one in safe mode it helped me out on many occasions.

If it asks for payment ignore it and carry on with the scam you get a months free trial.

If the problem is in the host file that will clear it.
