Answer 1

There is lots of information on this infection and it is all worthless. Solution are generally nothing more than recommendations to try many different programs in hopes one will remove it.

Although AVG is a good program it only detects and removes about 83% of all the test viruses that was thrown at it.

This is a W32. Worm. The problem is that a Worm can either be related to a Virus or a Trojan. Both require different removal methods. W32 generally indicates a Trojan related Worm. Because of this and that this malware is a Homepage hijacker, I suspect it may be in the Smitfraud Trojan family.

Try using one of these two Smitfraud removal sites and see if they remove it. Both are free and very good at removing Smitfrauds.

If the Smitfraud removal doesn't work then go here and use the online Kaspersky AV scan. Kaspersky is the best AV program available.

As indicated at Proverbs 18:10, Jehovah is a source of protection, do you no longer have self assurance that? Jesus Christ has received "authority" from his Father, Jehovah God. Matthew 28:18 John 5:19, 30 Jesus' 70 disciples and Paul expelled demons on the muse of Jesus'authority (call) given to him by ability of Jehovah. That being suggested; once back, I ask, do you no longer have self assurance that the call of Jehovah, our heavenly father, is a protection? From demons, demonic potential, worldly pressures, wicked human beings, and so on. Jesus Christ loves and honors his Father. Jesus glorifies and honors his Father's call and recognition. John 17:6 Matthew 6:9 any such vast volume of of Jesus' professed followers do no longer honor his father in any respect. To the unique questioner and others: Do you basically thoroughly ignore concerning the daddy? Do you recommend to degrade or dishonor the call of Jesus' Father? Does Jehovah have any value or position on your existence or worship? who's Jesus' Father to you?
