No idea hpow this has happened but I keep getting random pages coming up when I go to pages, in particular ones I go to via google

The pages seem to be via Noble Search Center? But the pages that come up are things like ebay & sometime some energy trading companies

I've tried searching on google but not having much luck

Anyone got any ideas?

Best course of action? Something along the lines of MCafee?

just put "noblesearchsystem" into google. Should be loads of info.

If the virus is preventing you from doing this I'll copy/paste some links if you want.

Think it's a rootkit, McAfee won't touch it.

I'd recommend backing up and wiping.

Restore point won't fix it either.

Try that, better preparing to wipe though.

Yeah, search for how to's on your phone and follow the steps.

Maybe try restarting comp in safe mode too, see if that'll let you search for an answer.

Tried this. Worked horribly

Now won't start windows or restore from previous save point. Awesome.

If you can get into safe mode, go onto another computer and download SuperAntiSpyware portable edition (free) onto a USB stick and then run that from the virus computer. Do a full scan on the C: drive.

Just looks like a spyware, any good spyware removal program should sort it out.
eg. spybot search and destroy

Malware Anti Bytes, install and scan in safe mode. Wouldn't waste your time with Mcafee.
