I visited a music lyrics site and Avast antivirus software went off and something loaded onto my computer. I chose the delete option a few times offered by Avast until it didn't appear any more but something remains that continually loads spyware and alters my history and favorites in IE and delivers popups to a page on smileys and another on screen savers.. AdAware deletes them all except 3bvxVfWCodec.dll I also notice there is a 3bvxVfWCodec.cpy.dll file in the \Windows\System32 folder.
The garbage just keeps on coming. Will I have to back up crucial data and reformat my hard drive? Assistance to avoid this drastic measure would be greatly appreciated.
