 Just Got A Virus
I have McAfee already installed and I later on installed Spybot Search and Destroy, and it blocked several trojans and what not, but there is one virus/spyware utility that is still hanging around. Whenever I'm browsing is springs me to these affiliate offer sites. It use to only bring me to a site that offers antivirus software and the web browser goes crazy to try and make people think there system is infected, and I just got a dating offer.
None of my scanning software can pick up this little bugger. What should I do?
