Browser Error, Ads234 comes up

Hi there, I’ve been having a few problems with my computer. One, the computers been going very slow lately despite having already used Avast and the hijack wizard earlier. I went to the task manager and noticed that there are around 25 objects running (including 5 svchost.exe’s), and ocassionally the avast scanner picks up a virus called Win32:trojan-Gen. I searched this forum earlier and went through the steps one psot had mentioned, I’m not sure if it’s now gone however.

Also, whenever I try and few websites my brower first goes to this “ads234.com” website, then proceeds to the desired website after some advertisement has been displayed, why is this happeneing and is there a way to avoid it? Thanks a lot, Roy.

This sounds like spyware.

Download and run these scanners, spybot and/or ad-ware SE.
Make sure you update them befoew you scan with them.

After that download and scan with hijackthis ( it will take about 4 secs) then click save log, then copy and paste the log here to make sure your computer is clean.
