I think my dad may have broken a record. I performed a clean install of xp onto his pc. Installed serice packs 1 and 2, then downloaded every security patch from windows update. Then installed AVG antivirus and set it to update every 24 hours. Also installed adaware which I use to run a full system scan every weekend.

Despite all this he somehow managed to get the pc infected with something within 24 hours. AVG, adaware both come up clean but something is still very wrong. Every link that it clicked up within a search engine throws him to a totally random site. For example, 3 attempts at clicking 1 link for a local estate agents this afternoon threw him to an online encylopedia, then a pc recycling service, then some hardcore porn site.

Anybody got any recommendations of other things to try?
