"Attention required" has blocked me from Google Youtube Facebook eBay and etc how to get rid of this?

whenever i want to go to google, facebook, youtube. a whole different site pops up and says "attention required" it wants me to verify if im human.... Luckily i have two computers so im using my other one to write this question looking for help... i can do other things fine like playing games. it doesn't seem to do any harm to the computer but... when i want to go to those sites listed... its blocked.. but clearly this *attention required* is a spam or something... knowing what these types of spams or whatever this is called would be really helpful. i got this problem today after downloading something i was careless. i ran my anti-virus's but it didn't catch it... i used cc cleaner, pc cleaner..... i did system restore but i seems to fail everytime saying my anti-virus or something is stopping it from system restoring... did it a few times no luck.. turned off anti-virus's, UAC and nothing im really frustrated right now i would really REALLY appreciate a helping hand on this.

I am thinking you are having DNS Cache poisoning problems or DNS hijacking. Someone is not letting you go to the websites you want to go to, by over riding certain stuff I believe and messing with your DNS. I don't know a whole lot about this, as I have never gotten to learn about this. Possibly, if one of your antivirus companys allows you to contact them for help, such as Mcafee, or Avast! (I think), they may have some experts who can remove the problem. Hope you can remove it.

i know what you have, its some sort of rootkit, there are several types but they al do the same thing. i have had the same infection. its a virus hidden in somthing you have dowloaded. the probleme here is that you CAN NOT get rid of it. it hides and multiply's in you programs. each program you have opened since you got this rootkit is now infected. the reason you cant get rid of it is beceause every antivirus failes to detect it. there are only 2 options for you. go to a proffessional and pay allot of money or make a backup of your pictures, NOTHING ELSE, no video's no music and DEFENITLY no programs! once you made this back up do you format your computer and these are the only 2 options you have believe me! now your favorite websites are blocked but soon you will not be able to go online at all. im really sorry i hope atleast i helped i few people. i know its a pain in the *** but i had the same

it sounds like SKYPE.
if you have OPENed up your SKYPE to allow anyone to message you then
spammers can have a field day, and SKYPE has add-ons to IE.
you can disable it, or run ie without add-ons

You need to modify your SKYPE settings to PREVENT all IM's from
everyone except those that you trust, SKYPE allows you to specify
those in your address book.

You have a rootkit. Get a professional to get rid of it.

When this happened to me, my C: drive had to be formatted. Fortunately, it was a new computer so I didn't lose any data.
