Hi.
I scanned my computer with Spybot-Search&Destroy and it tells me that my computer content no trojan, no spyware and no virus, but when I go to a web site with Yahoo Search, it show me sometimes in address bar http://results.yahoo.com, then a search site like http://premium.ansearch.com
And I think that's a malware, but I don't know how to remove this.
Please, can you help me ?

Hi DalkoSet

Ansearch.com is a perfectly fine search engine in Australia. If you are located in Australia, perhaps your ISP is routing you through Ansearch's engine. This is normal and nothing for you to worry about.

If you do wish indeed to check if your computer has malware, follow these instructions:

Please download the HijackThis zip file. Save it onto a convenient place in your computer, and then unzip the file.

Rename HijackThis(.exe) to scanner(.exe).

Next, run scanner(.exe). A window will pop up.

? Click on the button which says Main Menu, then Do a system scan and save a logfile.
? Please wait for the scan to be completed.
? After the scan has completed, a text window will pop up. Please post the contents of this window here.

This will also be located at hijackthis(.txt) in the same folder that HijackThis was originally saved.

NOTE:: Do not fix anything using HijackThis, as this may also damage legitimate components of your computer.

Best Regards :D
