Bloody virus
Still got this virus i think, everytime i click to open a google site it re-directs me to www.dot.com site. I have paid for and installed spybot and
done the full bhuna scan and deleted all it found. Anyone any ideas what to do next.

Deffo rum Malwarebytes. Sounds like you got a "drive-by" download via your browser. I have had this several times with computers on my
network here in the office. Internet Explorer is more vulnerable than Firefox but the latest IE-8 with all the updates seems to be better.
When I get this problem I run spybot and then Malwarebytes. The combination of these two seem to clear up the virus/es. Malwarebytes catches a few
that spybot always seems to skip.
If the problem you go showed up as an "anti-virus" program, it actually contains a slew of trojans and worms as a package. The scum that
invented the fake anti-virus , auto download/install package actually sell space in it to other scum who want their malware on your computer.

If it is the virus I encountered a couple of weeks back nothing will shift it but a reformat and reinstall.

Dave - If Malwarebytes hasn't helped then try this application - Combofix.
As the name suggests it fixes a few issues but generally does well with BHO (Browser Hijack Objects). Sounds like you still have a resident BHO
hijacking your traffic to Google.
Instructions are great and forum support is good too. You'll probably not need it though - it's fairly self explanatory!
