    The hijackers / spyware / parasites are now coming out so fast and changing so rapidly that Spybot and Ad-Aware cannot keep up.  See the message from ChrisRLG at the top of the General Boards - Virus Information and Removal forum - http://forums.us.dell.com/supportforums/board/message?board.id=si_virus&message.id=572

    Hopefully you updated the spyware definitions in Ad-Aware and Spybot before running them.  The next step is to use Cwshredder (listed in the message refrenced above).  If that doesn't work, use the HijackThis route and post your log on one of the HighjackThis forums menitoned in ChrisRLG's message.

    Hi Adelec,

    At all the sites mentioned the experts will give you line by line instructions on what to do, they dont expect you to know anything. You could also post here in the virus board and I or another of our experts will do our best for you, but my advise is to post on one of the others. More experts will be found at spywareinfo and tomcoyotes site and tomcoyotes site is where our own experts here are being trained (including myself).
