I sit here on my brothers computer trying to deal with a virus question i've never heard of. When ever he, or I, open IE the homepage is instanly changed and is redirected to a website containing a virus. You can try every homepage fix known to computing and it will not work.

Something along the lines of

DO NOT CLICK!
EDIT: PM for info (just saving the asshats from themselves here)

It actually downloads three viruses Downloader-afh Trojan, Adclicker-aj.gen trojan, and Adclicker-di trojan.

McAfee seems unable to clean up this mess. Though it says its catching the viruses, IE is still unusable. FireFox works, but isnt his cup of tea, and it seems a bad plan to just say fuck IE because some virus jacked it up. Esspecially since it seems to be messing up his internet connection.

Mcafee only has a catalog that shows the adclickers, that are low risk.
Any info welcome.

PS. I moved and im without internet for a while. Hense why you've enjoyed my silence.
