| Help with Spyware Removal
Hey guys, I've tried pretty much all the methods that I can come up with, but none of them has worked thus far. My PC got infected with a bunch of malware about a week ago, I managed to clean most of them with Superantispyware and Malwarebytes in normal and safe mode, but there is still some malware infection left behind as most of my google search results gets redirected to an ad site.
The problem is none of the spyware programs i've used thus far can identify which malware is infecting my comp. I cannot do a system restore as the malware somehow deleted all of the restores. I've tried scanning my comp with Avira, Trendmicro, and a bunch of other applications in safe mode and in normal mode, yet I am still infected.
Any solutions?
besides wiping out my PC.

spybot --> update --> immunize --> normal mode ---> fix errors
then run again in safemode.

i would just start in safe mode from the start. Spybot is a good one - powerful, but you have to sift through it, as it does even try to delete safe programs.

spybot has always been good for me, it's picked up stuff that malwarebytes has missed on friends computers.
