    Because people like us will help him?

    Try running the virus scans in Safe Mode, which is usually achieved by hammering the F8 button as soon as you switch on your computer and selecting it from the menu.

    A few other things, also turn off system restore. Some viruses use that to restore themselves.

    Well right now im using this avast program and its scanning the computer right now and it seems like its deleting the problems on the computer because it gave me he choice to do so. Do you guys know if Avast will fix the problem?

    I'm using the "free Home version of avast".

    no program gets rid of all viruses/spyware/ect.
    so eventually you will get something that you will never be able to get rid of
    which means you are doing something you shouldnt be
    and firefox blocks spyware and from my knowledge/experience
    i.e. doesnt

    It doesn't necessarily have to be manually. :P There's ways you can do it WITHOUT ****ing your computer up yourself.

    Offtopic: I had a Trojan do that to me once. It was spreading through all of my files, so I started chasing it. :P It finally got there and started to jump FASTER than normal. Freakin' annoying Trojans.
