There is this malware running on my PC which continuosly redirects me to it's home page website. For example if I click on google home page then it redirects me to the unwanted website. The website name is incredifind.com. Sometimes it goes to the extent of saying that the website which you have clicked no longer exists and directs me to their home page. It's very irritating because I know that it's because of the malwares running on my PC. The operating system which I am using is Windows XP. I have Norton antivirus installed. I have even installed and used spyware removal software(reliable one) but it deleted 90 to 95% of suspicious programs and registry entries.
Few malwares which it cannot delete are still running and causing problems. When I press ctrl+alt+del then I can see those malicious programs running. At the most I can end those process but those process again starts running after few minutes. I have even blocked the site in my internet explorer settings but still the site keeps appearing. So, can anybody please tell me of a solution (except to format my HDD and reinstall Windows XP) so that I can get rid of these malwares.
Thanks in advance.

I don't know if this will help, but there are several different spyware removal programs, and not all of them catch the same things. So you might want to run Spybot Search and Destroy, AdAware, HijackThis, etc., one after the other. Hopefully the combination can get rid of your malware.

Also, take a look at this thread [webmasterworld.com] for more suggestions.

The above list should fix most problems, otherwise search Google (both search and groups) for the problem and you should find a solution.
