Good evening,


I have Spybot and Adware already installed on my computer.

Right now I'm experiencing a virus that redirects my google result links which sends me to another page of its choosing.

Spybot Search & Destroy keeps finding these things, and claims to erase them, but if you scan moments later they're back again. They are:

Advertising.com
Avenue A., Inc
Doubleclick
MediaPlex
Pipas.A
Web Trends Live



I do run Avast Anti-Virus and it does update regularly.

I saw this topic has already been discuessed and is now acchived, but I figured I needed to post results in order to have my situation evaluated by one of you fine folks.

Could anyone assist me in gettin this trouble off my machine? A million thanks in advance.


Regards,


Brian

have you tried unplugging the network cable before running the scan? perhaps it replicates itself when it checks for an update?
