for quite some time i've been running into problems concerning google searches leading me to (harmful) other websites. it's gotten quite frustrating now, especially when i need research material for school. it's gotten so bad to the point where i've backed up all my files onto my extra HD and thought of reformatting. i had no idea what i was up against until a friend told me he had the same problem and gave me the name of the trojan. as soon as i searched for it (granted that it took quite a while with all the redirecting websites..) i grew certain that this was my problem. i read all the symptoms.. the random google/yahoo search redirecting, slower performance, blocked software updating (i've tried Ad-Aware, TrueSword and many others..), and not being able to connect to any microsoft websites whatsoever.. i grew more frustrated. i felt relief when i stumbled onto this forum.
i've lurked for a few minutes trying to convince myself that i can get rid of it myself but i've come to the conclusion that i can't remove it without any professional help.. plus I don't really know where to start, this virus is quite intimidating and it seems really complicated. i don't want to do any more damage to my poor computer.
any help would be appreciated loads. thanks a lot!
