This drove me crazy when I ran into the problem originally. I kept thinking to myself there has got to be an easier way to do this. Good to see I saved you a little frustration. Hopefully Microsoft did not drive you too crazy. ;) I’m glad I could help. This drove me crazy when I ran into the problem originally.

My husband was setting up his igoogle page when he clicked on a music download link on google. The Microsoft Security Alert kept coming up after that and he (unknowingly) clicked X and launched the ThinkPoint virus. To make matters worse, he (thinking it was a microsoft program) let it "scan" his computer. He then gave it to me to fix. Hmmm...well, it blocked access to any and all applications I tried to open and I could not access the internet to download a ThinkPoint Virus removal program. I did manage to open the task manager, but "hotfix.exe" was oddly missing from the list of applications. I tried to delete it from my programs, but (of course) I could not do that. I went on my other computer to find info on how to dump the virus, but could find little that would help me without access to the internet. I had one last idea and went with it. THIS IS ALL I DID...I did not connect to the internet (via network, its a laptop), but instead opened a window offline (where it says "this webpage cannot be displayed"). I kept the offline page open and then connected to the internet and I successfully bypassed ThinkPoint!!!! I downloaded a simple removal program from www.softpedia.com (it was free). I then scanned my computer with my anti-virus software, rebooted, and deleted the stupid thing off the hard drive. That was it. Problem solved. I have had no further issues.

It sits as an exe in c:\users\yourmainusername\appdata\local, you'll see the exe there, just delete or rename it, log back out and back in as your normal user. Go to internet explorer options / connections and uncheck to use a proxy server ( it sets this ) If you go to Control Panel and add a new user, give it administrative priv and log off and back in as this new user, now you can download malwarebytes and microsoft security essentials to rid this infection.

Think Point infected my system on 11/4/10 got my computer back up and running on 11/6/10. Few days later something didn't add up so I started snooping some more (meanwhile regularly running thorough Malwarebyte's & Norton 360) and noticed several outbound emails from my hotmail account to all of my contacts to random web url's ending in .php. Long story short I ultimately ended up formatting (11/18/10) after backing up some media files tired of chasing this virus around. Feels good to have a clean slate again. ;) Anyways thank you for posting the info for Think Point removal as im sure alot of people are finding it useful. Back with an update…

Unfortunately I'm not the greatest with computers so it took me all day workingout what to do ! In the end did a system restore then downloaded norton and did a scan etc and got rid of it. This virus is no fun to deal with ! Really annoying that I couldn't go on the net to work out how to get it to go away ! Had this thinkpoint thing appear on my computer today.
