Hello, I was searching for lyrics for a song off google, went to a website and it installed trojen viruses. I got rid of all the viruses but when I'm connected to the internet popups keep popping up. I ran and updated ad-Aware it finds malware and deletes it all, but yet comes back. I also used cwshredder and finds nothing....Help....Adam

If you don't have an antivirus installed try the new version of Antivir Guard v6.3(the one with the umbrella logo) free for non commercial use.Update after you install it.It is easy to update with a warning to update after 14 days.Close the program in the taskbar(the red umbrella) before installing the update.While Antivir Guard is in use run Adaware ful scan and you will notice that Antivir 6.3 will find viruses if any.You should choose the delete option to get rid of the files found.It is very efficient with files you just downloaded.As soon as you access the file or open the folder where it is found ,you will get a warning that some trojan or worm or else is found:delete.Don't try to repair those files ,it is not worth it.
