I would search for something (let's say an anti-spyware program), i would click the link, and it would take me to an ad site like the picture below:
so I asked around, and was told I probably have malware/virus/etc.
I normally run AVG 8.5 full edition with nothing else, but i guess it didn't catch it this time

so I tried downloading spybot search and destroy because i know it is a reputable program... when i try to go to their website, this is what shows up...
i tried getting it from download.com, but it was unable to update because i cannot access the website...
so i tried some other things...
I un-installed AVG and installed norton... but i soon remembered why I hate norton... i think it sucks... so got rid of it and put avg back on
i also tried trendmicro web scanner... it found a virus called js_dloader.ugd but failed to remove it... so i searched the web for solutions to getting rid of this virus, and don't really think i ever got rid of it.
but anyway, i also tried Avira AntiVir... SpywareDoctor (which was unable to update because of this virus)... Webroot SpySweeper (unable to update)... Ad-Aware (didn't catch anything)... and others all unable to update... let me add that AVG is now ALSO unable to update
I have tried doing a system restore to last month before i noticed this happening, but I can't even get that to work...
I am down to my last hope... contemplating restoring my computer back to default

please, please help!!
