I had Spyware Protect 2009 on my computer last week. I dl'd and ran malware on my computer. I turned off system restore, changed the name of the malware, ran it, and removed all of the viruses from my computer (or so I thought). Additionally, i used norman and super-antispyware program that removed the remaining threats on the computer. Afterwards, I turned system restore back on and everything was fine again.
Now a week later, I have a continous problem with opening any of my many web browsers on my computer. I know it is not my modem, because the comcast modem i have has 3 other computers all hooked up to the same modem without any internet browser problems what-so-ever. Additionally, i reset my modem, switched ends on the internet cable, switched ports, and called the service provider and they all didnt yield any better results. However, when I unplugg the power from the modem and plug it back into the modem, it resets my ip address and allows me to open 1 internet browser, however its extremely slow, and as soon as i close out that 1 window, i can't reopen the browser again or use any other ones for that matter.
Also, i went back to safe mode, re-ran the malware, super-antispyware, avast, dial a fix, webroot, and norman one more time, yet either no infections were found or they were found and removed, but they come back in hours.... and i restart the entire process.
Also, i've read several posts regarding this virus such as:

And I have followed their answers to the T, but still, i get this virus. What are my remaining options? To completely wipe the hard drive?
