guslI'm struggling against the nastiest malware I've ever seen. It seems to be a rootkit that is immune to System Restore, Spyware Search & Destroy and HijackThis.
It messes with the redirecting of Google hits via the hosts file, even if the hosts file is "immunized" (locked). In the meantime, I am harboring paranoia worthy of a science fiction story. It seems to know when I'm trying to download protection software, and gets in the way. So I'm not logging in to my email or Facebook.
I'm pursuing the advice on this thread.
