    I tried downloading win rar and my computer got messed up, sometimes debt websites randomly pop up even when Im on the desktop, when Im browsing the internet random google tabs pop up, pages maximize and get smaller, pages completely exit out and about every 3-4 mins my mouse just goes crazy and I cant control it. Helps and solutions are greatly needed Thank You.

    that sounds like a nasty infection. Where in the virtual world did you pick up that file from?? Was it a reliable source and did you scan it before opening it?

    Firefox 3 only scans automatically if you have AntiVirus software installed, it doesn't have AV integrated into it...

    Hi FMA

    Sounds like a tough infection, and I'm sorry you got it. However, let's try to destroy it, shall we?

    It might take some time to do the following steps with your condition, but please try your best and do them in order:

    Download both Superantispyware Free and Combofix. With Combofix, at the download window, please rename it to Combo-fix before downloading it.

    Install Superantispyware Free and update it fully. Next, boot your computer into safe mode which you can do by repeatedly typing the F8 key after you press the power button.

    Scan your computer with Superantispyware. Quarantine all detected items, and post the scan log here. After that, right click on the Superantispyware icon in your task bar, and click on Exit.

    Please run Combofix and follow the prompts. Understand that things like your system clock changing and your desktop disappearing might happen. Do not worry, because all will be restored later. Do not click on the Comobofix window, as it may cause it to stall. If it asks for a reboot, do it. Post the log, which is located at C:\ComboFix.txt, here.

    Now, boot back into normal mode and download HijackThis. Run a system scan, and post a log here without fixing anything.

    Best Regards :D
