any idea what could cause this. my son will be typing and all the sudden when he hits f he gets the find screen, only he never touched control. now it just started doing something new. now it wont let him go to most webpages directly. if he type a page into the search bar it always comes up with a blank page called c:/searchpage.html. he has to go to websites through altavista
he's scanned for viruses including panda and trend micro, plus was running mcafee. don't know what spyware scanning his done
he's trying to wipe the hard drive, but everytime it does, a message comes up saying to kill processes. he kills them all, tries again, and same thing

any ideas?
 
Hi

Try the following programs to see what - if any - spyware your system has on
it:

Ad-Aware - www.lavasoftusa.com
Spybot - http://www.safer-networking.org/
CWShredder - http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

Also see the following link:
