Running a Hijackthis always helps, provided you have someone to look at it. But even then, you can't always tell everything....

Oh. Yea, you're right. The viruses probably came from google, yahoo, or mfk.
 
only way to really get rid of is is back up some of your files (scan with antivirus first) then format.

now if you wanna search the internet and not have to worry about getting a virus/spyware/etc, look into the product called SandboxIE, its free. its 100% guaranteed to keep your computer safe.

No. That is one way to get every single virus off, and even then that is worse. Most times the virus is tagged onto a weird file. Scanning with the anti won't find it if he already did a scan and it did not find it the first time.

If the virus is on a weird file you need, and you have scanned your comp, and found nothing, moving that file onto a new harddrive and reformatting the comp, then moving the files back just deleted the easy/rookie viruses. The hard virus is still on your comp.
 
running everything now
