Malware My computer has picked up some malware, which is blocking internet connection, stopping updates and generaly being a pain. It keeps redirecting my browser to the Ask search site. I ran PC Tools Spyware doctor and this founds loads of infections, then the machine was ok for a week, now its started again. I have run AVG 8, Spyware Doctor, advance spyware remover and have tried downloading spybot search and destroy but it blocks downloads for setting it up. Any ideas how i can rid myself of this nasty ????

The simplest answer here is to invest in a good anti virus/malware software, there are plenty out there. Once installed these run in the background as you use your computer and will flag up anything it thinks is a threat.

The issue of a machine creating an "autorun.inf" folder in every drive connected is typically caused by a malware or a virus on the machine. The best way to resolve this issue is to run a full malware scan on your machine using a reputable anti-malware software.
Here are the steps to follow:

1. Disconnect any external drives from your machine.
2. Update your anti-malware software to the latest version.
3. Run a full scan on your machine.
4. If the scan detects any malware or viruses, follow the software's instructions to remove them.
5. Restart your machine.
6. Reconnect any external drives and run a scan on them as well.
7. Keep your anti-malware software updated and run regular scans to prevent future infections.

It's also recommended to check your system for any rogue or suspicious processes running on the background, you can use the Task Manager to check it, and also check the autostart programs, you can use msconfig or autoruns tool to check it.
If the problem persists, it may be necessary to contact a professional technician for further assistance.

Sounds like you may have some malware on your computer.

If your computer is connected to a network or the Internet, it is advisable to use computer security tools, such as a firewall, to protect your computer from unauthorized access or viruses. Windows operating systems come with a built-in firewall, malware protection and Internet security. These settings are automatically configured to the factory's default settings when you purchase the operating system. To alter the settings for these security features, access the Windows Security utility through your system's Control Panel.

Open the "Windows Security" utility by opening your "Start" menu and selecting the "Control Panel" option on the right-hand side. Windows XP users can click on the "Security Center" link in this window. For Vista users, click on the "Security" option, and then click on "Windows Security Center." Click on the "Windows Firewall" option to change the settings for your firewall, if you are using XP. You can turn the firewall on or off, and also configure which programs are allowed through the firewall. Vista users should click on the "Windows Firewall" link in the left window pane and click on the "Change settings" link. In this window, you can block programs from passing through your firewall and grant access to new programs. Click the "Internet Options" selection to configure your Internet security settings. You can raise or lower the security level for different zones using preset configurations, or you can create a custom security level. You can also reset the Internet security level to its default settings. Click on "Automatic Updating" in the Windows Security Center to configure your system's update settings. In Vista operating systems, click on "Windows Update" and "Change Settings." You can configure your update settings to automatically check for updates daily or weekly. You can also set a convenient time for your system to update to prevent interruption. Automatic updating can be turned off by selecting the corresponding option toward the bottom of the window. Select the "Malware Protection" option to edit malware settings if you are using Vista. This option is not available in XP's version of Windows Security Center. You can turn the malware protection programs on or off using the arrow to the right of the "Malware Protection" bar. Click the "X" button to exit Windows Security Settings.
