    I'm new to Majorgeeks, and I have a Html File on my desktop which I can't get rid of and a program Advadmin.biz trying to access the internet. I have run AVG, Spyware Doctor, Ad-aware SE and Spybot, but nothing is detected. Can anyone help?

    Thanks

    for the pesky file that wont remove try MoveOnBoot which should remove the file when you reboot.

    could the Advadmin.biz thats trying to access the net be part of that HTML file?

    If you still have problems after doing what Halo suggested then lets start by doing all the steps in the READ ME.

    READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:


    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifBefore running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifRun HijackThis and save your log file.

    http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).
