Problems with browser redirects?

Question

I am having a problem with my computer. I got some nasty spyware/malware, and I'm getting a lot of browser redirects. I can't access the Microsoft website, and whenever I click on a link on google, I get redirected to some other website, or an ad search. I already have Spybot S&D and AVG. Are there any reccomendations for fixing these problems, and where would they generally be hiding on my hard drive?

Answer 2

Get SUPERAntiSpyware, I just fixed a computer at work using this today.

You can get it here: http://www.superantispyware.com/download...

The free version works great (it's what I used today)

After it's installed run a full scan, then it'll prompt you to restart (make sure to do that) then run the scan once more and you'll be golden.

Answer 3

Go the Task Manger (CTR+DEL+ALT).  Click the Process Tab, suspicious process started by your username. Run the spywareprogram.  Go the Add/Remove and and uinstall the specious programs.

Or Restore your computer to previous date before the spyware  infection.  To do this go to: Start>All Programs->Accessories->System Tools->System Restore.

If that does not work.  Wipe out the sytem and re-install windows.
