I believe I got infected with a trojan virus that is re-directing my Internet
Explorer browser to www.free-virusscan.com.
(www.free-virusscan.com/id/492933/4/1/). I also get a message indicating
that my Microsoft programs may have been corrupted and wont let me access any
program folders. I am, however, allowed to access my Microsoft Word files.
I have conducted the Live One Care scans twice. However, I receive a message
indicating that there are no viruses or spyware on my computer.

Any help?

this makes no sense. why would posting a scan results on a forum
remove malware from my systems HD and registry? It seems kinda bogus
to me.

Than Google and educate yourself.

The friendly and knowledgable person(s) of the fora will after, careful
examination of the scan result, advice an appropriate course of action.

Google is your friend.

HJT and Deckard's utility create log files of startup loactions where malware
use to load
themselves.

The forums I posted have personnel who are trained at a malware university of
sorts. They
are trained on how to interpret the logs and how suggest a set of tools that can
be used
by the infected poster where the tools can remove the malware.

Additionally, they may have the infected user post the malware files to the
forums where
the forum administrator(s) can then provide the malware files to the various
anti malware
companies such that they can be identified and the files can then be used to
generate anti
amlware signatures.

This system is far from bogus and all the expert forums I suggested are trusted
and
vetted.
