I can't get rid of the **** thing. I d/l and installed every spyware removal software available and still can't get rid of it. The damn virus is the hardest thing to get rid of. Anyone have/had the same problem? If so tell me how the hell you got rid of it.

Then download and run the following:

Install and run it. On the bottom right corner of Ad-Aware you will see an option called "Check for updates now", click on that and choose "connect". Download the updates. Next click on "Scan now" on the left side of Ad-Aware. Make sure that "Search for negligible risk entries" is crossed out and not ticked. Choose "Perform full system scan" and click "Next". After Ad-Aware scans your computer, Ad-Aware may find some bad files on your computer so make sure you tick them all and choose "Next". It will ask if you want to remove those items so just continue. After removing the items close Ad-Aware.

Move Hijack This out of the Temp folder. Have it in a permanent folder of your creation on the hard drive. Run it from there and post a new log
