I have a PC that launches IE to http://inf3cted.us/ upon boot every time. I have found from searching that it is indeed spyware and I have ran many scans that have fixed it for others. There is nothing in the registry to cause it to boot up (startup items in 'run' folder). There is also nothing in the startup folder, even checked hidden files.

The program most people found success with was Microsoft AntiSpyware, which found some objects for me but not inf3ct3d. From what I have read, the site itself isn't where the virus/spyware comes from, but rather is the result of getting the virus/spyware. (If you do visit the page, I recommend not clicking any links there)

Anyone seen this or have ideas?
