on google and yahoo?

I ran McAfee several times, and each time it detected and removed
NTOSKRNL-HOOK (Trojan). And, my searches on google and yahoo are back
to normal again. But, few days later, I start getting redirected to
funny sites when I do searches again. So, I re-run the McAfee scan and
it says it detected and removed the Trojan hook again. How can I get
rid of it permanently?

Is the SPYHUNTER download software on this site worth it and
effective? : http://www.wiki-security.com/wiki/ov...egory/Trojans/

Thanks in advance.


I imagine virus can be different but one got past my McAfee and when I
restored computer to previous date but McAfee would not work and I had
to remove it. Rather than reinstall I thought I'd try free Avast

and it found and removed the Trojan virus. Been about 6 trouble free
weeks now. The virus had reverted my computer to about the day I had
bought it and none of my files were there including new programs I had
installed. It was frightening but fortunately Vista restored to a
previous date and all was OK.


McAfee is free from Comcast isp but for me has always been a PITA as a
resource hog.
