Re: Malicious Adware

My computer refuses to do the pull down menu on the Internet Explorer

disappears once I sweep with webroot adware removal software, but it
keeps coming back. Lately, when I try to access some web sites a
window pops up requesting my username and password, yet rejecting any
combination I try, something that does not happen at my computer at
work (the same web site does not request username or password). It
seems I have a problem with a malicious adware or virus. I already
have McAfee, which never detects any viruses, and 2 adware removal
softwares: webroot and a Swedish program called adware SE plus (all 3
are regularly updated). Any recommendations for any other adware
removal programs? - Simonel
