Have any of you folks been afflicted with the MapGalaxy My Way malware? It is very tough to remove. Even my Norton
anti-virus missed it. It is somehow tied into Google, creates a new toolbar on your machine, and allows all kinds of
ads to burst into your screen. Any suggestions beyond shooting my computer and buying a new one?

It's the most drastic solution so maybe someone else will have a different idea but back up anything important, perform a low level format on the hard drive, and reload the operating system.

Wow... Low level format???
That is beyond drastic, that is the nuclear option! Also, unless you are familiar with the debug command or have access to specialized software (free on line) that is not a 'normal' option.
Also since you are going nuclear here, better do the same thing to all the drives too as 'good' viruses or malware access them too.
