here's what happened:
a few days ago i noticed spybot-S&D was no longer installed on my computer. i found this odd, because i didn't remove it. i think some kind of malicious program deleted it without me knowing about it. when i try to connect to safer-networking.org (and other spyware removal websites like adaware) i get an error message that says "connection refused". i can connect to these websites from another computer on the same network. i was able to download spybot elsewhere, but it wont update, so it cant run. i downloaded and ran adaware, and it found and fixed several problems. but the above-mentioned problems persisted. i ran norton antivirus scan but it came up clean. What should i do? tell me if you need any more info. your help is much apprieciated.

If you feel you have malware,you could ask for help in the Malware Removal forum,if you aren't being helped on any other forums with a Hijackthis log.

The instructions are here:

(You could follow along with whatever you are able to do,I know you can't run Spybot,so you'd have to skip that part.)
