Well last night while surfing youtube, my computer was infected with the malware program cowabanga. I knew something was wrong fairly quickly and I shut down my Internet connection so it wouldn't download anything while I was trying to figure out what to do. I found the Cowabanga by OIM program in my Add/Remove panel but whenever I tried to remove it, it would popup a "please enter the number below thingy to remove" which I didn't trust at all and I just canceled. I tried to delete the folder from Program Files but it couldn't as it was running a process, so I booted up Ad-Aware and let it do a couple of scans. Ad-Aware found and killed the process as well as the keys for it, and once that was done I was able to delete it from my C drive, which seem to have killed the popups and random icons showing up.
My question is, does anyone know of a good, -TRUSTED- program that I can use to check my computer to see if there are any leftover parts or other hidden/dormant malware programs hiding on my computer? I'm not very computer savvy but I know that these little things can bury themselves deep in the computer.
