Recurring Malware

[emerkel]

I recently picked up some Malware which, after a little bit of research, would appear to be the AntiSpyDeluxe problem. Spybot does not recognize this upon searching but it does find another problem called Fraud.XPAntiVirus.

When I try to remove it, sometimes it says it can only be deleted after a restart and sometimes it deletes it right away. Either way it always comes back and the problem has not gone away.

The problem consists of Critical Alert popups telling me that there's Malware on my computer and I need to download AntiSpy Deluxe. A screen also comes up while I'm browsing in Firefox that looks Google sponsored but obviously is not real telling me the same things as the popups. Reloading the page takes me to the site I was originally trying to get to.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
