Virus +Rep!!

It affects all the browsers i have and not only google, all of the search engines i use.
Ad aware and spybot both find the virus but they are useless at removing it. Both of them claim to fix it with a big green tick but its still exactly the same as it was before.

Try reinstalling the browser

I've done just about everything now. Ad aware finds the problem in safe mode but if i click quarantine it does nout and if i click remove it flashes a deleting message very quickly but it just appears again.

Have u tried a virus scanner rather to an adware remover?

tried everything said in this thread apart from formatting which really is very last resort.

If you want, as a last resort i could connect to you via teamviewer, and try to repair it for you.

If you can find the file that is infected and unabled to be quarantined/deleted, you can manually remove that file from your hard drive without booting the computer normally (or in safe-mode) so that the virus can't be running and nothing can stop you from removing it. You might need another computer to do this.

By the looks of it, you have to reinstall/format. It sounds like it's infected core files and it's not an ordinary little spyware virus. I suggest you backup all your files, try and find setup files to software you have installed, back everything up but not your registry or your system files, reformat, copy all your documents and setup files back on and start reinstalling your software etc..

I've had to do that once, extremely irritating but in some cases, the fastest and best way to get rid of it.

If you know the location of the vuris (exe), than its just a case of removing it.
See if this works, I'm not 100% sure if it works on Vista, If it doesn't, than reply and I'll try to provide more help.

(It can delete files that are currently open)

I got rid of it. It was probably the only way but I knew I had to format and reboot my pc because the effects of it were getting a lot worse. Its certainly a very annoying virus thats for sure.

Format your primary drive ( usually C: ) using your master disk...
