I have appx.19 infections, e.g. C:windows\system32\thin....win32.SillyDI.FG, SillyDI.HZ (32\pop2),win32.BettInet, HtML.MHTMLREDIRLEXPLOIT (C:documents etc.) SillyDL.HQ. My antivirus was up to date..I run the antivirus and it comes up with "0" infections, but when I "x" out of that screen, another window opens up telling me I have those 19 infections, lists them but there's no option to delete. .it's just a window. Every time I run the antivirus program, the same thing happens. I also ran Ad-aware and I have already removed over 400 critical objects, but every time I run it, I get more critical objects. Also pop up ads keep crowding the screen while I perform those functions. My computer was fine until my son went in there over the weekend to download tunes for his IPOD, I believe from Limewire, I tunes etc.
Could someone please help me?
Thanks

For viruses, start with Trend Micro’s Sysclean and McAfee’s Stinger. Download them and the Sysclean signature file. Turn off system restore, boot into safe mode and run them. Boot back into normal mode and run a full AV scan with your normal AV program. Then turn system restore back on.

Trend Micro Signature File http://www.trendmicro.com/download/pattern.asp

You should also regularly run at least two of these online scans in addition to your regular up to date AV program:
Online and Downloadable Virus Scanning:
Panda ActiveScan http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm
Bit Defender Online Virus Scan: http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/license.php

RAV AntiVirus - Scan Online http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/
F-Secure: http://support.f-secure.com/enu/home/ols.shtml
Run these programs to check for spyware/malware. After installing update them, then boot into safe mode and run them. You should update and run them weekly.

After your system is clean use these programs to help keep it clean:
Spywareblaster www.javacoolsoftware.com/sbdownload.html
Spywareguard http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/sgdownload.html
IE-SPYAD http://www.staff.uiuc.edu/~ehowes/resource.htm
Make sure you have a firewall active at all times. If nothing else use the one built into XP, but there are a variety of free third party ones that do a better job from Sygate, Zone Alarm or Kerio.
Sygate Personal Firewall http://smb.sygate.com/products/spf_standard.htm
Zone Alarm http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/company/products/znalm/freeDownload.jsp?lid=staticcomp_za
Kerio Personal Firewall http://www.kerio.com/kpf_download.html
Lastly check your system for vulnerabilities. Make sure you have all the latest security patches from Windows Update too.
