If you don't have important files on that comp, save your GW.dat file and stuff that you need onto flash drives and DVD/CD's, then wipe your hard drive, then install everything again. Or get some really good spyware sweeper from a store in REALITY, not virtual, otherwise you risk more spyware.

Download and run Vundofix, Spybot S&D and AdAware.

Either way I hope you get it off, I'd have said run spybot etc, but this also sounds like Ad-ware too.
Get Ad-Aware 2007 or something? That's what I use to scan for Ad-Ware.

You can go here and download a package. I recommend the Anti-Malware Professional package.

HOLY CRAP. Whenever i search something on google, i get an my first result, an error message, a youtube porn link, and then the rest of my search results!
the error says
Error!
your computer was infected by dangerous virus! Some results was changed by porn advertising, your passwords and other private info is no more safe! You must clean yor system immediatly to prevent it. Download newest anti-virus software!

Oh wow dude. that seems like a horrible virus. I was almost tempted to click the link you provided... but i will not :P
i would try to reformat after you get anything important off, or try and do everything scan wise in Safe mode, why? because its safer! good luck

tarun, i downloaded the anti-malware full software. what should i do now? i got the ad-aware SE running a scan right now, and i am doing the set up on spyware SD
Brianna
Please don't click the link, it's probably malicious.
Just install the scanners you downloaded and run them, they *should* pick up something.

seems that after some resarch all my symptoms point out that i have contracted some zlob trojan spyware. This does make sense, because I have visited multiple social sites and clicked on questionable links (lapse in judgment lol) I'm currently running scans, and i'll post back the results.

I'd advise you to not type in your Guild Wars password on that computer, in order to protect your account from hackings.
