Hi, I wonder if you could help here...I have Windows XP (home) with avast, AdAware and just purchased SpyHunter to rid my PC of "Spyware & Malware Protection, Privacy Protector and Error Cleaner' that has installed itself somewhere in my PC. When I use the AdAware or SpyHunter, it locates cookies and these, even though are removed, just appear again. 'http://softwarereferral.com/jump.php?wmid=6010&mid=MjI6Ojg5&lid=2' has taken possession of my homepage and can't be deleted and sometimes presents itself as [url]www.safewebnavigate.com.,www.mediasportal.com, www.ucleaner.com.,www.securecleaner.com., and some others keep popping up despite that fact that I have added all of these to my restricted sites. It has also created wallpaper with 'your privacy is in danger'..logo(leading to securepccleaner.com) and can't be removed. I keep also getting pop up messages from Windows security alert about an Internet attack and prompting to download spyware remover - www.safewebnavigate.com. I'm not sure if this is one or a few infections. I would be eternally grateful if you could guide me towards clearing my Pc of this very frequent nuisance.
Many thanks
Cheers
Draha
