Well, I suppose the easiest thing to do, seeing that I formated the computer soon this week, is to reformat it again.

The problem is that I did not have the time to install any kind of anti-virus and firewall, as well as anti-spyware stuff, firefox included, before my brothers destroyed the computer.

It'd be easier that way

Any recomendation of a free good anti-virus and firewall?

I'd remove
I can't find the key. I did exactly as it said there, but it isn't there.

I couldn't find the file they say there, either

That's the one I said in the first post:

On a side note, Spybot keeps asking me if I want to change a registy value that, after I made a search, I discovered to be in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main\SearchBar, and would lead to this:

Obviously some stupid spyware toolbar that can't get removed neither by spybot nor by hand... I tried deleting the registy, it comes back. I changed it to no, it comes back. Heck, I even changed it to BattleForums.com, it changes back. I don't know what to do, specially because it keeps changing every 30 seconds, and I don't want to turn the option down...
So, can't do anything about that one

Uh, what's wrong with this one? Hiperligações is portuguese for Hyperlinks

VGA cool I'm pretty sure is virus too but I'm unsure.

Same as first, was unable to find anything whatsoever... And the same as the others, except the last... That one requires an Anti-Virus, which I do not possess, yet.

--2nd Edit--

After looking better, in this one,

Quote:
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [exittime] C:\DOCUME~1\JOAONA~1\APPLIC~1\CLOSEG~1\Defy meal vc.exe
I searched on Current User rather than in Local Machine, and it worked, hopefully. That one is gone, I do believe. Deleted both registry and file.
