My daughter's computer has picked up a nasty virus or spyware that I can't seem to remedy. Have tried Spybot S&D, which I thought worked, but the popups still occur, and a bar saying the computer is infected keeps blocking the title bar of internet windows. There is also a coolwwwsearch item that cannot be removed.
Also, there is a suspicious new icon in the lower right of the screen that keeps alerting there is spyware, and to click here.
I'm not well-versed in these matters, and my daughter is only five -- I have no idea what she clicked on to get this, as her computer isn't set up for email, but is for the internet. I have an idea that she maybe clicked the alert bubble from that icon.
I will be installing firefox as her browser once I get this problem fixed.
I've downloaded and ran Hijack This on her computer - here's the log:
