    I apologize if this is a double post. I think my connection timed out or something when i posted before.

    I downloaded a virus a few days ago and have been trying to get rid of it ever since. I have Norton 2006, but that says there is no virus.

    Everytime a start IE it goes to the homepage first, but then immediatly redirects to www.securityuptodate.com and tells me my computer is infected and the only way to get rid of it is to download one of 5 spyware programs: Pest Trap, Malware Wipe, Spy Guard, Brave Sentry, and AD protect. Sometimes there is also a warning popup which says i am infected with W32.Myzor.FK@yf and sometimes my system tray tells me i am infected with W32.hs.m2. I have looked for these viruses, but came up with nothing credible since i doubt a virus would tell me how to get rid of it.

    Also if i go to any sites that requires me to sign up with a password like for this site. The first time i submit the information it just reopens the same page and i have to type in some of the info again. Then the second time i submit it goes through. It makes me think the virus is creating dummy pages and then send off my login and password info. I have not logged into anything important because of this.

    I have done everything it says on the "Read this first" sticky:

    0: cleaned everything i saw and emptied Quarantine

    1: System restore is still enabled

    2: Enabled hidden files so i could see them

    3: I just have Norton and Ewido antivirus myself

    4: Downloaded CCleaner, Adware, Window defender, windows malicious, spybot, and hijack this and updated all of them.

    5: in basic safe mode (no internet) i ran CCleaner, windows malicious, Adware, Spybot, and microsoft defender in that order.

    6: Ran Bitdefender and Panda and attached both of the files to this post.

    7: I have downloaded hijackthis, ran it, and attached the file to this post.

    8: I have also ran ewido which everytime i bootup it finds and blocks C:\WINNT\system32\atmclk.exe. It says it is a small trojan.

    I have been at this for three days so any help or suggestions you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

    My system spec are:

    System: Microsoft XP professional
    version 2002 Service Pack 2

    Harware: Mobile Intel Pentium 4-M CPU 2.4GHZ
    512 MB of RAM

    Thank You
