I have an adware problem that recognized one site I frequented wxx.eharmony.com. When I hit my bookmark for wxx.eharmony.com it goes to an ad. If I try to go to the spybot website it jumps to the ad. If I try to go to house calls website it jumps to the ad. I've tried running Mozilla, Explorer, and Opera on a USB flash drive to no avail. I downloaded spybot from work and emailed it to myself to run it and I have run Ad-Aware as well. I haven't read about adware like this so need help. Thanks, Greg

It's also learning and taking out new sites. A couple small windows flashed on the screen after I posted on here and then I was unable to return to see what I had posted. I searched my process in task manager and delete several suspicious processes and was able to return to post this.

I went into spybot s&d and messed around in the advanced section cleaning out suspicious stuff and then updated to firefox 2.0 and I seem to be clean now. I don't know how to close this out though.
