When I use a web browser I consistently being redirected to other pages, always seeing the same ad in different pages, I did use Panda software to detect the virus, it found one, but it failed to removed it. This is the name and location, globalroot\systemroot\system32\msivxrxdytqxwnkvptnvlrkktvdjkymuanvt.dll. I did try to run HijackThis but it does not load, even if Safemode HijackThis will not run.
