Answer:

1. Restart your computer. Once the ThinkPoint window comes press Ctrl+Alt+Delete or Ctrl+Shift+Escape. You should now see the Windows Task Manager screen as shown in the image below or a screen where you can select the Task Manager to be run.

2. Click on the Processes tab. Then click and highlight hotfix.exe and click End Task. If it asks you "Are you sure you want to terminate the process?" click yes. This will close the ThinkPoint program.

3. While in Windows Task Manager, click the File -> "New Task (Run...)" from the menu on the bottom right. Type inexplorer.exe and click OK. Your desktop and icons should start up as normal.

4. Run Internet Explorer or any other browser and download free anti-malware software: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, SUPERAntispyware, Spybot S&D, Hitman Pro or Spyware Doctor.

5. Run a full system scan and remove ThinkPoint from your computer.
