Before I get started I know the easiest...strike that...the most thurough way to get rid of viruses is to reformat my hard drive. I'm trying to avoid that.

2 days ago in hopes of getting a response to a new job, I opened unfamiliar mail. Sinnful I know but what ever. Anyway, I'm now up to my eye lids in this thing and its messing with my system.

I have pc -cillin. I've ran it. Clean bill of health. I've run the downloadable debugger from trend micro for this virus. Clean bill of health. I"ve run defragers, i've done the regsvr32 urlmon.dll thing. and in the end, I've still got problems.

I've had to reload, windows media player, music match. I think my joystick is now on the fritz. Also I find that my IE keeps getting hijacked to various, sales windows and then reverts to google, after I see it going to "google123.web1000.com"

I was then directed to a program called hijack this. I've dl'd it ran it and it gave me a variety junk listed on my system, the web site and the person who suggested it said to take the log and have someone knowledgable look at it. I've attached it to this message. Finally they said to look at my config and run a system log and have someone look at this. I can't figure out what they were referring to.

So whats going on??? what do I need to do? I want my computer back and then I want to shove a red hot poker in this jerk's ass.

In the end....do I just need to dump my whole system Could somone please offer me some good advise

thanks

jnc007,

The google123.web1000.com are spyware. Run either ADAware or Spybot-Search and Destroy to get rid of them.
