I've been caught for the last week with a malevolent & very irritating virus, it just pops up a new browser window
with a load of spam links. It's very clever and quickly redirects itself to several new directs so searching for the original link
was impossible.
AVG scan - nothing.
Malware scan - nothing.
Adaware scan - nothing.
Registry scan - nothing.
Rootkit scan - nothing.
Gmer scan - nothing.
Safe mode scan - nothing.
after MUCH searching on 'tinternet, I found something called Combofix http://www.combofix.org/ (http://www.combofix.org/) which
initiates a scan like I've never seen before! It found something hidden in a Windows Driver fill - killed it and downloaded and
replaced the driver it self! NB. --- Don't run Combofix Unless you REALLY know what you're doing! ---
Seems to be gone now...... <*<

Wish you had told me that before I used it to get rid of that bug that Jay passed round to all his messenger contacts a while back. >>:-( >>:-(
