I'm on a WIndows XP Pro Desktop, SP3
Last week my girlfriend downloaded something, and it installed XP Antivirus 2008 on our system, what a nightmare, running Malwarebytes Anti-Malware it found about 50 trojans, or malware of some type, same thing with SuperAntiSpyware....
I ran both of these programs in safe mode, using the guide found here:
http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php/topic,46313.0.htmlAnyway, this program still seems to be around in some form or another, for example when I'm on google and do a search, and click on any result, it redirects me to some other website, usually some unknown search engine, or in some cases to a site that starts up another xp antivirus 2008 online scan, of course I kill that quick....
I have run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and SAS again, and it finds nothing, not sure what I can do from here....
Also, this happens on any browser I use, but firefox is really bad, besides the search problem, I also get 'connection has timed out' or 'page cannot be displayed' 3 times out of 4....
And alot of my desktop icons have disappeared....
Suggestions, besides me wanting to throw my computer off my 6th floor balcony?
