Avg keeps finding the Swizzor virus and I keep on deleting it or putting it into the vault but it keeps coming back. I have used Superantispy which keeps on finding it. I have used AdAware which finds it, but again, it keeps on coming back. I am at a loss as to what to do next because these awful windows keep popping up adverting stuff when I am in the middle of working or playing.
Please help me someone...

I downloaded Spybot - Search and Destroy, amongst several other antispy and antivirus, ran it and it appears to have worked where all the others did not (although all of them found it). I know everyone recommends SpyHunter but I am strapped for cash.

Note: During this process, it would help a great deal and be very much appreciated if you would refrain from installing any new software or hardware on this machine, unless absolutely necessary, until the clean up process is finished as it makes our job more tedious, with additional new files that may have to be researched, which is very time consuming.

Also, please do not run any security programs or fixes on your own as doing so may compromise what we will be doing. It is important that you wait for instructions.
