I just got Ad-Aware today after getting numerous Spyware alerts and did a scan on my PC, and the Win32 malware, among others came up on my results. Win32 just won't go away. I can't quarantine it, and when I check it for removal, it says it's deleting, but it isn't. It just remains there as if I hadn't just tried to anything to remove it.

I'm getting alerts non-stop telling me that I'm infected with this and that, and recommends all this antispyware crap that doesn't really do anything unless I purchase the software. I downloaded Ultimate Antivirus and Windows Antivirus, and both keep creating pop-ups telling me that I need to pay for their product before they get rid of all the spyware they say I have.

Anyone got any advice on how to fix this mess? I just got this computer the other day to replace the last one that got screwed up, and I'd rather not have to tell the people who gave it to me that I fubr'd this one as well.

You've likely picked up a new Zlob variant our program doesn't detect yet. We can help with the manual removal but will need you to post a log from the tool "Hijackthis" for review first. Follow those instructions here:

And post your log back here for review and assistance.

Since this isn't your first infection, here are some info links on how you may have gotten this (and some tips on how to avoid it in the future)
