I got hit with something on my fresh install of XP while downloading 'free' vector files, for designing. I hadn't gotten around to putting S & D on my pc yet, sure enough. At first the issue was a fake Anti Virus program, and man was it brutal, wouldn't let me run anything, task manager, nothing.
So I installed S & D, cleaned it, and it found a couple things, cleaned. Did the immunization too, naturally.
The problem I am still having is I am getting random new browser windows, and they all go to affiliate landing pages. Google cash, colon cleanse, Sattelite TV, etc. And my google searches get redirected when I click on a result. I use the Comcast MacAfee virus scan, which finds nothing on my system. S & D is clean.
Any help in finding this bugger is greatly appreciated. I would post logs, but I don't even know what to collect.
