what kind of sites are they? you will need Nortons Antivirus your McAfee is doing nothing that software doesn't check the entire computer like Nortons. Get rid of McCrappy and get Nortons you should be able to fix it that way. if you can get a copy of Adware if might fix it as well.

Are you running Explorer? if so they isn't worth a crap either try to get Mozilla Firefox browser it is much safer and faster.

ok first is to clean the computer, Trend Micro is the balls! You can get a free scan and fix by going to there site and using "House Call"

after you figure it all out you need to get rid of cookies and temp files at least once a week!

Then download a program called adaware from Lava soft, its also free, this will get rid of all the spyware that gets downloaded without you knowing.

Then there are free antivirus programs that are much better them store bought junk, i use Avira and it works pretty darn good.

Tell the wife to see if she can do a system restore back to a date before this happened, it will come backbut it might give you time to go to trend micro and do a scan.

if that doesn't fix it then you may need a pro, or reformat and start new, but that will lose all that you have saved on the hard drive.

I just had a bout with the root_kit virus that sounds about the same. Maybe google root kit and see what solution you come up with. Mine was on a work machine and we had a tech take care of it. It hides itself in the registry.
