Hi - One tough worm - There are several aspects to this problem. (1) When using Google search it will redirect you to a different web-site. (2) There are random pop-ups advertising computer fix-it programs. (3) Also I can not load my version of HiJackThis, SpyBot or Malwarebytes. They are being blocked from loading. (4) I tried deleting HiJackThis but something is blocking even that. None of these programs will run in safe mode. I'm running Explorer 7 and Windows XP Home Edition with SP 2. George
