A new file will open. Look at the image below - if you are hacked, there will be a bunch of other IPs connected to you. Remove them from the list. Important: if anything has changed your search engine or you are experiencing redirects to websites, add them in the hosts file and save it. This should prevent them from opening in your browser.
After you are done with the hosts file, go to your desktop and hold together the Start Key and R. Type appwiz.cpl --> OK.
You are now in the Control Panel. Look for suspicious entries installed without your knowledge around the time you realized you have a malware. If you find any - uninstall them.
