    My computer is possessed!

    Every time I press on any link a window named something like "www.oddysseousmarketing..." shows up and immediately dissapears.

    When I do a search on google, the results are doctored.
    I get a bunch of links that dont look like google results, and all lead to "something".searchassistant.net/scripts/redirect/randomnubmersandletters.

    The "something" is either alpha, beta, or delta.

    I ran Ad Aware and Spybot - S&D, got rid of everything it found but the problem persists. My Norton Antivirus takes a lot of time to scan, so I dont want to use it yet.

    Run Norton Antivirus.

    If that fails, reinstall.

            Looks like slimeware.

            Try updating Ad Aware and Spybot S&D.

                      I downloaded Ad Aware only now, so it's updated.

                      I updated S&D, and it found some new stuff. Got rid of them now, hopefully it will work.

                      I'll install ZA too. Always planned to, now I got the reason.

                        Your computer is possessed? Only one thing for it - burn your computer at the stake.

                        Reinstallation is probably much easier in comparison.

                          You use IE? Try use a different browser.

                            S&D didnt work.

                            Yes, I use IE. And I must use it since it's the only one with Hebrew support.

                              Just for the record, google runs just fine with Opera.
