Nasty Virus

[SWMustang]

I cannot get this virus off my computer. It randomly turns words into links. I've run the anti spyware/popup software from Roadrunner - made by Computer associates and I bout SpyWare Doctor on the internet. I've had it scanned by two different programs, supposedly quarantined and it's still here. The link is to something called trafficsector. I think I took care of the other program - virtual bouncer - the pop ups are all but eliminated. Any suggestions on the trafficsector prob?

Here's a link to Symantec's virus database. Maybe the most comprehensive database out there. Do a search here: Symantec (http://www.symantec.com/avcenter/vinfodb.html)
Sometimes knowing what a virus is called is a problem in itself. I've done a google search on the symptoms and found it can get you the virus name on occasion. Good luck.:)
