Last night after reading the following post, http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?threadid=44565 I clicked on the link in Black Owl's reply to a smiley icon web site. I know I shouldn't have. The following happened afterwords. My default search engine was replaced. Avast automatic update failed. Home page reassigned. I then ran Malwarebytes software and it located 295 instances of malware. 99% of these were tied to the now default search engine. I had just ran this malwarebytes software about 5 days earlier and it had then detected 17 various ad ware problems. This was at that point the first I had ran it in several months. I looked at Black Owl's posts and this link has only started showing up since the 17th of January 2010. Gary

Here's my problem & I know some of you guys here really know your stuff. Hopefully you can steer me in the right direction. My wifes computer has a virus. I thought I had it all gone, but apparently not. I ran avg and it flagged a trojan. I guess it could not get rid of it. I have tried to run malwarebytes, but the virus has disabled that program. Same thing for Norton. As far as I can tell at this point (been working on it all morning) I can open any web site including foxnews, google, etc. The problem is that when I try to use the search function from google or any for that matter, the virus will not allow me to place a cursor in the search box. I can place a cursor in the address bar no problem, just not in the search box. Malicious little buggers they are! I'd like to get my hands on one of these guys just once. Oh by the way, I tried to uninstall/reinstall malwarebytes, but it still disabled it at reinstall. Any help anyone may be able to give me would really be appreciated. It's an old computer, but we just can't afford to replace it right now. Thanks,
