My Computer has been hijacked

[Guest]

I am not in the habit of surfing the net but I have somehow picked up a virus
from a porn site that has installed a program along with an icon on my
computer.
Even Ad-Aware and Spyfighter programs cannot get rid of this hijacker.

It has created a WebsiteViewer Folder which I cannot delete. "Access Denied"
is what I get when I try to delete the folder.

This program is effecting the performance of my computer. For example, it
keeps interrupting the typing of this email.

It shows as 125019.dlr on the record.

The Service Provider for this porn site is identified as Smooth Content Ltd.

Can anyone help with advice?

Hello,

I would recommend first getting a Virus scanner, here are a few free ones:
AVG www.grisoft.com
E-Trust: www.my-etrust.com
Kaspersky www.kaspersky.com
Then download the newest Virus Definitions and all that good stuff. Then
restart your computer in safe mode. Then go to add/remove programs and
install the program if you know what it is. Then the other programs should
then be able to Remove the Stuff that you dont want.

I recommend to scan your computer for viruses with an antivirus or visit the
following site
http://security.symantec.com/sscv6/...&langid=ie&venid=sym&close_parent=true&bhcp=1
and scan your PC from there.

Next I would recommend to run a scandisk to try and rapair the corrupted
folders.
