    Okay...I need help with this one. I have mastered removing viruses, trojans, malware, etc but this one takes the cake. Whenever I am online about every 15 - 25 minutes a pop-up window (large or full size) will appear that looks like an MSN or a Google search results page.

    Here is what it says from Google:

    Your search - http%3A//83.149.75.52/trafc-2/rfe.php?cmp%3Ddn_mg_h%26affid%3D66904%26guid%3D{4e86a50b-a7ff-4cae-b8b7-28a13b6d46f0}%26url%3Dhttp - did not match any documents.

    It is always the same thing.

    Has anyone ever experienced this kind of problem before? Norton, Ewido, and AD-Aware SE Pro cannot find this virus, however when I run Ad-Aware SE Pro it starts scanning in the System32 folder and finds a threat but right then it stops and actually shuts down my computer. I believe this virus is causing this to happen.

    Can anyone tell me what I need to look for or do to take out this virus?

    • Make sure you also rename HijackThis.exe as suggested in the procedures. Use analyse.exe for the new name. This is very important due to some new infections going around..

    • CounterSpy - ONLY IF you were not able to run Windows Defender
    • Bitdefender - from step 6

    • newfiles.txt - the log from ShowNew.bat
    • HijackThis
    NOTE: You can only attach 3 files in a single message so it will require that you use two messages to attach all of these logs!

    Does anyone know about this particular virus? Has this happened to anyone and can you tell me exactly what to do?? I have run all necessary virus programs and anti-adware software but none can find this.
