Browser Hijacked, at wit's end.

Unread postby yeager » February 24th, 2010, 3:02 pm

I managed to acquire a virus that hijacks my browser(s) and also disables any malware removal tools including:

-malwarebytes
-adaware
-spybot SD

I get errors when trying to run, update or uninstall those programs. The malaware bytes program stated in an error box: Error Code 732 (0,0), report to MAB team, etc.

I also get redirected to a site that wryly says "you know your computer is acting odd, but you don't know why! buy our software!'

Any help would be appreciated!
