ADWARE PROBLEM

[Wikaveli]

Hi,

Each time I right-click my recycle bin there's a web address there ..

javascript:{http://sex something or other}

I've tried 5 or 6 different spyware/adware programs .. but neither of them deleted the problem.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Wik.

Dunno if it helps, but did you try "Ad-Aware SE Personal" yet out of those 5-6 programs? Its really good, and theres like an update almost everyday that you can download, so you know they're up to date on the malwares. :|

So when you right click your recycle bin, you mean you see an option in the right-click-menu that says "javascript:{http://sex something or other}"?

Or do you mean you find a file with a link that says "javascript:{http://sex something or other}" in there?

To add on, did you also try a virus-scanner as well?

Ok .. this started about 2 weeks ago. The funny thing is, as far as I know, no adult sites have been visited.

I've tried:
advanced spyware remover
ad-aware se personal
spybot - search & destroy
avg - anti-spyware
spyware blaster
spyware nuker xt
bulletproof spyware remover
zonelab

When I 'right click the bin, i see an option in the right-click-menu that says "javascript:{http://sex something or other}". I haven't clicked it.

Right-Click Menu:
Open
javascript:{http://sex something or other}
Explore
Empty Recycle Bin

I have also tried virus scaners:
zonelabs
online norton

I'll look into the hijackthis link ..

Thanks again!
