Go and have your computer scanned HERE

Then go and read both these threads by RBS. Follow all the instructions exactly.

How to remove Trojans and its ilk! and How to remove Begin2search / coolwebsearch and other nasties.

Once you`ve done that see How to post your Hijackthis log-file as an ATTACHMENT.

thanks for the info Howard... I tried using House Call but it says it cant send the required internet files... I did Spyaudit and it found 2 serious maleware that causes the system to be slugish... ill finish the rest tonight...

i can only recommend spysweeper. i think its number 1 or 2 spyware detection/removal tool. look for the best spyware programs top 10 list somewhere in google and id recommend using the 2 best ones combined.. then you should run all your scans in safemode and then removal should be successful.

Thanks for that osram, ill definitly do that... ive been working with computers for years and taking care of viruses, maleware, etc. but this is the first time ive ran into one that just keeps regenerating like a rootkit... I used Ewido today and ended up removing 820 malewares and had to remove an archive to delete Wild Tangent... I thought that would do it but there back...

If you have System Restore still turned on they could be lurking there.
Turn it off boot to safe mode and re-run every protection app you have with the machine dis-connected from the web...
