Hello,

I am having a random issue with some kind of virus thing on my computer. I am trying to download the spybot Search and Destroy and my computer isn't allowing me access to the web site. (www.safer-networking.org) I have tried it on other people's computers and it works fine. I can't even get to it through Firefox or internet explorer. Secondly I was finally able to download the application through download.com, but once it tries to download I get an error because it has to go through the safer-networking.org web site.

Another issue I am having is when I google something. If i type in bestbuy in the google bar i get what you would expect. When i click on it, however, i don't get what you expect. I get the jumping web browser thing and it takes me to some random web page, not bestbuy.com like i clicked on. Now on occasion it will take to where I want to go, but the best way to get there is by opening a new tab. very strange!!!

Finally everytime I turn off my computer, restart or shutdown, my firewall gets turned off. Even if I manually turn it back on.

I have run Sophos anti-virus, AVG spyware and CCleaner multiple times. I have also run AVG and Sophos in Safe Mode.

Any help would be awesome.

Configuration: Windows Vista
Firefox 3.0.8

Same damn issue. Pages randomly redirecting, (page-hijackers) as well as not able to access MANY of the known anti-virus/trojan sites. I have been able to access a few of them with an anonymyzer/proxy but when they connect for updates, shot down again. Very frustrating, would hate having to reformat. Even with Spybot SD installed, it won't run. Runs as a process but does not show any program via desktop. The link above DID NOT fix this. Any help please and thanks.

I could not get Microsoft Windows Updates nor access their website. Same thing for Windows Defender and Spybot S&D. I've tried dozens and dozens of "so called" fixes from many, many websites without success, but Trojan Remover did the trick!!!! Thank you so much!!!
