Here goes....
I have two symptoms..
First and most annoying.... something is causing my programs to go to the
background. It doesn't minimize them or close, but if, for example, you are
typing every 30 secs or so you can't type anymore because that window is no
longer active...VERY ANNOYING
Second.... if I try to search it redirects my googe searches to info.com
pages. Usually my google search will work, I am doing this from the toolbar
in i.e. 7, then it will flash up new search results, and they all seem to be
linked somehow to info.com....
Any help is appreciated...

For non-viral malware...
Please download, install and update the following software...
* Ad-aware SE 2007
http://www.lavasoft.de/
http://www.lavasoftusa.com/
http://www.lavasoft.de/ms/index.htm
* SpyBot Search and Destroy v1.5
http://security.kolla.de/
http://www.safer-networking.org/microsoft.en.html
* SuperAntiSpyware
http://www.superantispyware.com/superantispywarefreevspro.html
After the software is updated, I suggest scanning the system in Safe Mode.
For viral malware...
* Download MULTI_AV.EXE from the URL --
http://www.pctipp.ch/downloads/dl/35905.asp
To use this utility, perform the following...
Execute; Multi_AV.exe { Note: You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS }
Choose; Unzip
Choose; Close
Execute; C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT
{ or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS }
NOTE: You may have to disable your software FireWall or allow WGET.EXE to go
through your
FireWall to allow it to download the needed AV vendor related files.
C:\AV-CLS\StartMenu.BAT -- { or Double-click on 'Start Menu' in C:\AV-CLS}
This will bring up the initial menu of choices and should be executed in Normal
Mode.
This way all the components can be downloaded from each AV vendor's web site.
The choices are; Sophos, Trend, McAfee, Kaspersky, Exit this menu and Reboot the
PC.
You can choose to go to each menu item and just download the needed files or you
can
download the files and perform a scan in Normal Mode. Once you have downloaded
the files
needed for each scanner you want to use, you should reboot the PC into Safe Mode
[F8 key
during boot] and re-run the menu again and choose which scanner you want to run
in Safe
Mode. It is suggested to run the scanners in both Safe Mode and Normal Mode.
When the menu is displayed hitting 'H' or 'h' will bring up a more comprehensive
PDF help
file. http://www.ik-cs.com/multi-av.htm

* * * Please report back your results * * *
