The other day John Gilroy on WAMU's Computer Guys (and Gal) radio show recommended a program called "Revo" to clean up a machine infected with what sounds like the same malware on your machine: http://www.revouninstaller.com/ It is able to hunt down the hidden files which enable the malware to resurrect itself after it has ostensibly been removed by more conventional methods.

>I can connect to the internet and use email, so long as about every 5 seconds I say no to the pop-ups that say my computer is at risk or infiltrated or bring up these websites (using IE, while I am only using FireFox). I keep stopping the scan this new antivirus program seems to be running because I am afraid it itself is a virus, maybe part of a scam to infect the computer in order to get me to buy the software to disinfect it! ************************************************************************* ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *************************************************************************
