My PC has been hijacked

I went to a website that immediately started loading all kinds of programs onto my PC. I've managed to turn off all of the junk that it was running, and I've run all kinds of spybot removers, and I downloaded HijackThis, and I was able to get rid of something called "Intelligent Explorer", which installed an extra toolbar on my PC. But Intelligent Explorer keeps reintalling itself, and I keep getting popup windows from someting that must have embedded itself into my registry. I see lots of things when HijackThis runs that it questions, but I'm afraid to delete any of that stuff. Looking for Mcafee Virus? Find exactly what you want today. I keep using it to delete Intelligent Explorer, but it won't stay away.

Any help?

Intelligent explorer is one of the nastier ones to remove. I googled around and found this, if it helps you. →Raul654 07:37, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)I think it got worse. Active Virus Defence Suite box-image. Thanks, Mark. I went to the link you provided, and the link they wanted you to go to to get Spybot S&D doesn't work, but I did find one and re-installed Spybot, which I already had. But in the process of dowloading that, all kinds of other stuff got downloaded, including some sort of games page. I've just spent half an hour clearing all of that out, but something keeps showing up in my running jobs called Bargains and NIs. Since the virus threat is actively shifting, shouldn't your defense?. I keep deleting the crap out of my running jobs and it keeps reestablishing itself. I've run three different spy program detection programs now. Sigh.

Compare prices, shipping and browse detailed store profiles at CNET Shoppercom. Worth a shot, anyway.
