I have a machine contaminated with Malware.

This particular malware shutdown your internet connection when
AVG needs to be updated
and/or Spybot get installed / update.

What can this be and how does one choke this beast off?

Could be anything, really.

Kill the process. Delete the files. Fix the security which allowed it in the

Have you tried the usual suspects...Running Ad Aware, and the freebie
TrendMicro scan? Note: TM doesn't work with FF. Only IE.
Additionally, Hijack This might work for you if you are familiar with
