    Can someone please help.

    I have a cable modem, I had to reinstall windows and I did not install
    any virus software before I went to do a Google search, ugggghhh!!!

    I guess I have a Hijacker or something. I ran Norton virus scan but
    they remain there. I also now have Mcafee's firewall...

    Does anyone know of a combonation package or program that will keep
    everything safe, take all this crap and bots away, maybe a pop up
    blocker, spam blocker and something to make Only the programs that
    SHOULD be running, run?? Hmmm, maybe I am asking for to much.

    Thanks....
