I run Ad Aware daily, and that didn't help. Neither did SpyBot. I did numerous scans of all my drives and went through Hijack This. Nothing. I ended up backing up all of my documents and clearing the harddrive. I recently had backed up my entire system so I restored it back to those settings. No problem since then (well, my dog ate through my power cord so I haven't been able to use it, but there are no more viruses!)

We use it at work and I swear it catches nothing. I wish we could use Ad-Aware/Spybot. And I do download Hijack-this at work sometimes just to diagnose..

Glad the system restore worked for you! Anyone with IT questions feel free to PM me.

Go to this site and run their scan, it'll do about everything you'll need. Also, whoever uses your PC, tell them to stay off the porn sites - that'll get you every time.

If you don't know what you're doing, stay away from Hijack-This as you can turn some stuff off on your PC, which will disable things, and then you're totally screwed because you didn't knwo what you were doing in the first place.

Yeah, I recommend Hijackthis only for experienced users, or if you don't know what you're doing, run the scan and post the logfile online for someone else to tell you what to do
