Sure I've got Malware or a virus on my laptop
For a while now i've got this bit at the top of my internet explorer title, after where it says "passionford-blah blah blah" it also says "YES! 2CARP X10Shun" and it does that with EVERY webpage i navigate to.
Anyway now it's getting REALLY annoying as my hardrive constantly says it's full, even though i delete loads of data, 20 mins later it's full again, even though i haven't done anything!
Loooked it up on google, can't find much apart from two sites (one in french) and from what i can gather it's some sort of VBS Malware. I'm not super dooper when it comes to PC's but i am fairly compotent, can anyone help me with this????
It's a works computer by the way and I've done the obligatory virus scan with Mcafee but it can't find anything, i KNOW there is a problem.

Cheers, can't really go and start using different web browser without getting grief since it's at work. I downloaded and ran spybot, but it hasn't fixed the problem, it says there were no issues detected, but from my Mcafee log i have this....

Focus RS 0268
try downloading malware bytes :
http://malwarebytes.org/
thats probably the best anti-malware program ive come across....
Your best bet would be to install malwarebytes and do the updates, then restart the PC in safe mode (keep pressing F8 as soon as you press the power button the the PC and itll bring up a menu, just use the arrow kepys to highlight safe mode then press enter) and then run malware bytes in there... do the full scan, it will take a couple of hours but finds most things
