    I got one that hijacked all URLs which I hadnt started with [url]http://[/url] in IE. If I tried to run ad-aware or norton anti-virus scans they wud die after about 4 or 5 seconds.

    Close all intances of IE (I'm assuming that's what your running) and make sure there aren't any rogue processes running....the on I had was actually called iexplore.exe so I missed it the first time I looked. It was picking up anything I tried to use aginst it.scanners....even tryin to download certain zip files it killed them.Neither ad-Aware nor Spybot picked up the infection once I managed to get them running.

    download this:
    http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

    and run it.
    That saved me. picked up 61 hijack attempts that the other 3 programs missed (norton, adawre and spybot).

    Good luck

    Have you tried googling for that URL it's sending you to? I did.
    Here's what you're looking for I think:
