Wondering if I might ask for some help. I am a newguy and posted before. I had thrown my infected Dells away and re-used some of the parts on a new Nvidia board and 1 gig vid card. Something is still infected that most of the popular scans are not detecting (McAfee/Malwarebytes/superspyware/onecare/norton 360 to name a few) anything because whatever it is, it's sending out pings and stuff, right through my V318 router and cable modem. When it does this, the logs start going wild with packets wanting to deliver. Then, eventually, they always make it through, then I have hijackers and such. I've demonstrated my ingorance in all of this several times by thinking "GOT IT NOW" my wife sticks her hand in my face and says, no more money, when I try and explain something new I found.
I thought I didn't have to worry when using Ubu. But I do, same thing happens, but it is usually Pam in Unix Printer sending them out. It trashed my machine hard this last time. I have 1 500 gig drive that I cannot get past the password thing to remove the Linux partitions, swap drive, etc. And someone has changed (a direct hacker this time, was controlling all my packages in Ubu) some processor memory in 0x0 0x05, 0x57, 0x56, 0x48 and 0xB4 (detected only by the test trying to install Archlinux i686 this time) dual core Intel Processor.
I'm lost at what to do. I've made like 5 Ubu installs and each time I try and review suggested packages but it always uses something. Been trying to read and remove qued packages in Ubu right away but last time the logs said someone was in my root, even though I had disabled duplicate log-ins. Went back to windows this time with the Toshiba Laptop because between the Drive Scrubber and Ubu install on it, it's gotten rid of most of the hidden partitions (but BIGDOS? and one other). The ones remaining just order up packages like search hijacker, which the system has been lasting with OneCare blocking the activities and I have it doing wireless to my Netgear VS318 router, then to modem.
I have spent many, MANY hour on the phone with Dell and Toshiba techs who seem to clean my drive with freeware, then say "well, seems ok now and nothing but Windows on the hard-drive". One guy even sent me an XP SP3 disk, after suggesting I go back to XP! Got the disk in mail today, IT IS A REAL WINDOWS SP3 CD!!! Oh, none of the tech will even talk with me if I have Ubu installed (or use free Majic-Jack).
I'm downloading another Ubu disk, hoping the iso doesn't get packaged when I write it to disk using the laptop which only has a search and explorer version 6 and 7 hijacker.. Using version 8, for now tricking it.
My friend gave me a used 500gig Western Digital sata drive.
Any help out there I'D BE VERY-VERY greatful... No need to chew me out about taking it to someone who knows what they are doing, the local geek shop had my wife's Dell for two weeks. When I got it back, it started doing the checkmark on sharing and desktop sharing thing, he said I been going to "risky sites". Yea, Microsoft! About to spend my wife's savings, then I will go away so don't worry about me bugging you!

What about using shredder on the hdd from a live cd. I think the application is called shredder or shred, - basically overwrites the entire drive several times. It's a app that's used to destroy sensitive data.

there are also a couple apps called rkhunter and unhide that might be useful. - all aviailable in synaptic.
