I went to the site you suggested and ended up buying whatever they offered to clean me up as I guess I wasn't paying (ha!) enough attention to do it for free - no big deal as my other free stuff wasn't getting rid of this stuff...
anyway, I've run several basic scans and am just finishing up a second deep scan (each has found something different)
will start a safe mode scan before I head to bed tonight. I have run or am running AVG virus scan, zone alarm fire wall, ad-aware, spybot, spyware terminator - all have found different stuff at different times
A chat I run (php free chat) just got hacked - caused Ann an issue... I had to reload the site from a back-up, but a bunch of us were on earlier without issue but then around dinner all hell broke loose....
solved problem by reformatting the hard drive and re-installing the OS...
and I didn't know about the concurrent anti-virus rule... kinda makes sense why they kept finding each other though
I am currently running zone alarm fire wall and avast! anti-virus. Might add back ad-aware but not sure how much good that or spy-bot really are as they didn't really find anything... ended up with malwareRemovalBOT but again, it found stuff in both safe mode and regular but never really cleaned it - different stuff kept being found each time I rebooted and ran it...
anyway - thanks for the help - the re-install seems to have worked
