Giant Mean Virus - Have I fixed it??!

Hi

I suddenly got a virus this morning giving me lots of warning triangles, the loss of my Yahoo page and also a new Security Toolbar 7.1. Apparently this was very bad. I was just about to pay £70 to Norton to fix it, but did the Ad-Aware scan first and it all seems to have gone - but has it??

Would anyone be able to tell me how to check? Thanks

    Do you have any antivirus software installed?

    if not, try one of these

    http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html

    or

    http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/

    along with an antispyware scanner, such as

    http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/20/lng/us/tpl/v5

    and a rootkit scanner

    http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/39798/lng/us/tpl/v5

    See the malware sticky thread above for other scanners
    Ever get the feeling you are wasting your time? :rolleyes:

    Yep, done all those and checked the threads on here. It seems to be gone but I need to do some online banking and want to make sure. I have a Hijack This file if that helps?!

    yes post that and i'll take a look,this will remove the toolbar

    Save SmitFraudFix (by S!Ri) to your desktop.

    Install this programme >>Here<< update its definitions then boot into safe mode.

    How to boot into safe mode.
    http://forums.mcafeehelp.com/viewtopic.php?t=601

    In safe mode double click on SmitFraud and select option 2,after running Smitfraud run AVG(complete system scan),when AVG has finished scanning remember to click on Apply All Actions if anything is found,then boot back into normal mode

    your version of Java is out of date, go to add/remove programs and delete any old versions and then download from here

    http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp

    I see no problems left from the infection, safe to online bank etc
