yesterday I was looking up showings at the local theater and I was redirected to a strange site. I backed off and tried again and then the page loaded, but I think thats where I picked it up

anyways, I've already ran several scans on each of my programs

malwarebytes doesn't pick up anything

Avast picks up one or two things every OTHER scan

and Superantispyware ALWAYS picks up around 13-16 harmful cookies. it picks them up in the first 10 minutes of scanning and it doesn't pick anything else up the rest of the 2 hours it takes to scan my computer. if I wait 10 minutes, pick up the cookies, stop the scan and delete them right away, and then immediately start another scan, they'll STILL pop up again.

it seems they're getting rid of them but they're somehow being immediately replaced...or maybe they're NOT getting rid of them, I dunno >_>

oh, and Ad Aware completely f***ing died. I have no idea why but it stopped working. I think the virus killed it. it simply doesn't work anymore

If I go to paypal or my bank's website, I immediately get interrupted by a page that says some crap like "WE NEED EXTRA SECURITY, GIVE US YOUR SOCIAL AND YOUR CREDIT CARD", which is obv a load of s***. but they still appear, even after the scans so I know I'm still infected

any words of advice?
