Seems I have a virus my girlfriend put on the PC. It takes over my aim profile, away messages and throws pop ups up. Tried, Spybot, Hometrends, adaware, no luck getting it out, anyone know about this nasty bitch right now?

It also highlights words randomly on the web...

It sounds like you're trying to use a malware detection program to fix a virus problem. Try using a virus detection program, such as Norton Antivirus, McAffee Virus scanner, or Trend Micro's Housecall or pCillin.

yea, I have used Trends as I already stated... My girlfriend clicked the link in someone's profile and now we get popups, our away message pops up with some link in it and it hijacks ALT CNTR DEL

If you "had" it, none of the symptoms you claimed would have happened in the first place.
