Despite warnings about not downloading anything on my netbook, and not opening Facebook messages saying "Look at this" or some other such thing, it appears I once again have a trojan/worm/virus on my computer.
I am getting browser redirects, and I was getting IE popups with google search results of various anti-virus programs.
I use Avira, as it was installed for me by the guys who did my last cleanup.
It was going nuts with popups from Avira telling me I had malicious files.
I quarantined them.
I have run Avira about 4 times, and it will pick up malicious files one time, then not, and then it will, again.
I run Lavasoft AdAware, and it shows nothing.
Spybot comes up with nothing.
MalwareBytes found something, but it supposedly quarantined and repaired, and then it found nothing, but then it will find something on the next scan. Lather, rinse, repeat.
SUPERAntiSpyware finds nothing, then it will find something, then nothing again, and so on.
It won't let me do any type of online spyware scans from the places I usually go.
I downloaded a removal tool from Avira, and it found nothing.
I know there's something on the computer. The browser redirects are annoying. Google is useless right now.
I just don't know how to get rid of it, short of wiping the drive and starting again, or taking it to a shop and spending money I really don't have to get it fixed.
Any suggestions?
