Registry Cleaner Removal

I got some spyware/malware/virus thing on my laptop. I did the steps on malwarehelp.org for removing ave.exe files which led me through an update to the registry, removal of the malware, and clean up of the system. I had to do it twice and the 3rd scan came back clean. Now I have 2 residual issues. 1 is that if I do a search say on Yahoo, when I click a link on the results it will take me somewhere else, like a random shopping page or something. But if I type in the exact URL in the browser, then its fine. The 2nd issue is that sometimes a new browser window will open on its on, no rhyme or reason. It seems to be worse in IE8 than Firefox but I’m still scared

If all else fails I guess I can run my restore disk but I hate to. Ideas??

Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware should be able to get rid of most Malware, it has always helped for me when i needed to get rid of Malware.

You could also try SUPERAntiSpyware which might be able to get rid of it if Malwarebytes’ Anti-Malware fails to do so.
