thank the stars for this place otherwise i think i would have hurled my notebook out the window by now.

I'm using a IBM ThinkPad T42 with Windows XP - the infected machine.

I'm posting for help from my work PC which is important to note. First some history.

1. I run Webroot AntiVirus with AntiSpyware.
2. I also have the Webroot desktop firewall installed.

Occurance. I noticed that when using Google or any search engine with Firefox or IE some of the links would give me a strange redirect. Often to something totally unrelated to the Search term.

I ran a scan of Webroot and it detected Generic-A Malware. It quarantined it. However it is still an issue.

I can not browse to any of the security sites, most anyway. Kaspersky, McAfee and others including this site are blocked. I can only access them using my work laptop. Using the same Internet Connection and Linksys router by the way.

It also is still doing the strange redirect to other URLs. From this activity I noted two IP addresses common to this and I've blocked them with the Firewall. Since then a redirect will just hang there for quite sometime and the browser times out.

The IP's are:
64.5.219.20
64.111.196.126

I downloaded SpyBot S&D but can't use any of its features because it is apparently getting blocked from first performing a check for updates. The specific message that is given is "Error retrieving update info. file!"

With a reboot I also note something else strange happening. For some reason explorer is activated and the directory C:\WINDOWS\System32 opens up.

Also, I note that when I start IE and sometimes Firefox I get a message that Webroot has blocked access to UPDATEMICO.COM. Apparently it is a site associated with spyware.

Please disregard. Whatever was infecting my machine has killed it I believe. HD went south this morning and it's no longer responsive.

Off to the recycling heap she goes.
