After accidentally hitting a link, my XP PC became infected with Antivirus 2009. I'm connected now via a UNIX laptop because the hijack code prevents me from connecting with the Spybot URL.
It took some finagling to get Spybot installed, including removing a malware registry entry but it's installed now. The hijack prevention part is running, but the "Run" command when right-clicking the SB icon is grayed out so it prevents me from running a scan so I can remove the hijack code from the browser.
I'm new to this but didn't see a forum entry for this same situation. Any ideas?
