Okay, I have scanned my comp with all three of the recommended antirootkits and none of them reported any hidden files or problems. Is there anything else I should scan for, or any other security program I should use? (I'm still going to scan it again with SAS, spywareterminator, A-squared, spyware doctor starter edition, norton security scan, ad-aware, clamwin, and another avast scan. Yes i only run one of the antispyware realtime scanners, spywareterminator, and I only run one antivirus realtime scanner, avast).
Thank you cloussau for the link to a safe avi player, and thank you avast! team for being so quick and helpful.
Let me know if I should do anything else to make sure my infection is completely gone. I already know about *purging* my system restore so you don't have to remind me about that. If everything is done, then I want to thank you guys for helping me and I appreciate how quick and helpful the avast! forum workers are.
