    I cant hardly surf the internet anymore. Mcaffee and avg say I have no viruses or adware or spyware but my page is constantly being hijacked. My computer is going very slow.

    Its taken 6.5 hours so far and avg still hasnt finished scanning, but they havent found anything either.

    Sometime they or mcaffe find something and I delete it. My computer still surfs the net slow and is hijacked within 5 minutes.

    Does anyone have any recommendations this has been going on for about 3 weeks.

    Thanks for any help or advice.

    Try Ad-Aware and Spybot.

    If you have restore disks, I would back up programs and files and do a complete restore back to manufactures defaults. Warning, I'm no expert on these things.

    Some viruses can mask themselves from anti-virus software, so you can't always trust the detector reports...

    Have you checked Startup? Have you checked the Run and RunOnce locations in the registry? Have you checked to see if your Shell has been hijacked in the registry? When was the last time you cleaned out your temp and internet files?

    Hey WAC, what do you use when the system is protected? I use the cleaner for Ultimate Defender (bad, bad program), but is there something better?

    Hey buddy, I guess I stated that wrong. What I meant was I use the tool that cleans UD off of the computer, not UD itself.

    I was just wondering that once a virus makes a computer protected, so that you can't get into the registry even with an administrator account, what do you use to regain control of the system?
