Please provide me with advise on how to get rid of this Russian-looking malware in my PC:

Every time I open my IE, I get a large banner at the bottom of my screen. The banner has three vertical rows with links in Russian. The banner changes colors fast between red and yellow. I also get some Russian characters in red below the large banner

How I can remove it? I have tried my AVG antivirus, SpyBot and MalwareByte's AntiMalware...Anything else I should try????

Thank you!

If it's Virus Malwarebytes and Spybot are not going to work. Disable system restore then go into safe mode and run a scan with AVG even Malwarebytes or Superantispyware in case it's not a Virus. if it find something then be sure to enable system restore when you go back to normal mode.



Stop using IE it's not secure use Firefox.

Anyone find an answer to this? I have the same problem except it's on the bottom of my IE page.



I've run Malwarebytes, Spybot S&D, and MRT ...nothing works :(

I would look in the Add-Remove Programs section (in Vista, it is just Programs), in teh Control Panel. Sometimes people inadvertently install malware programs, that the anti-malware programs have a problem taking out. Even if you can't delete it from there, if you could get the name of any suspicious-looking program, at least you could Google it. They make special removal utilities for these types of programs.
