Hi, I have gotten a virus (or several) on my computer in only a couple of days, and they can't be deleted through Norton or AVG antivirus. Well, they do find the virus, but it either says it cant delete (Norton), or it says it was removed (AVG) but then it reappears almost instantly.
It started by me seeing an unfamiliar icon on my desktop telling me to "click here" to boost my pc power. I didn't , but rather looked in the program files to try and find the source. I successfully removed this (or so I thought), and the icon at least is now gone, but now I keep getting redirected from the web page i'm on to one wanting me to allow them to scan my computer then purchase WinAntiVirus Pro 2007. Even as I am typing this, I have been redirected to their page twice! I close it out in Firefox, but then it will open up in Internet Explorer, which I don't even currently use!
How the hell do I get rid of this? It's driving me crazy!! Thanks in advance for your time and help.
