Unknown virus which i cant get rid of.

Unknown

Hi all, I have a problem with my computer which I am sure is a virus but i cant get rid of even after a format.

I have tried to google a solution but due to the virus nature it s hard to explain in a search engine.

First off i use Nortons Antivirus which is up to date but can not find the virus. I also use adaware pro.

This is what the virus does, for example say i have my computer open, i double click the c: drive and it goes to c: drive for about .5 of a second and then returns me to my computer. If i have an internet explorer window with google loaded and i type something in the search engine and press search, it takes me to the search items for .5 of a second and then returns me to the main google search engine. Its just like someone presses the back button all the time.

I have 2 hard drives and i think it is somewhere on the d: drive as i have formated the c: drive. If i actually dont go into the d: drive when windows starts it wont happen. But as soon as i enter the d: drive within about 2mins of doing it, it happens, no matter what folder im browsing it will take me back to my computer.

I dont want to format the d: drive as it has a lot of data on it which i dont have room to back up

Any information would be much appreciated as i am pulling out my hair on this one.

Cheers.
