Hello. I seem to have some sort of virus that at random times opens new Firefox tabs to an ad site and doesn't allow me to connect to google.com. I've ran scans with AVG, Spyware Terminator, and Comodo Firewall. The AVG scan says that the kernel32.dll, wsock32.dll, user32.dll, shell32.dll, and ntoskrnl.exe files inside the system 32 folder have been changed, but does not report an infection. Also, this virus has deleted all my restore points. Please, I do not wish to do a clean install.
