That site goes into it. Do a ctrl+ F to find where that domain is mentioned (safarel.com).

I looked that site up on the WOT site and here's the result, probable connections to malicious software:

Just based on what you said, definitely don't think that it's something to brush off. Try to remove any malware from your system is about all that I can offer (which you've tried already).

Hopefully someone else can offer a bit more on this than I can. I'm a newcomer to this site but hopefully this points you in the right direction.

I'd recommend both AVG and TrendMicro's Housecall, as they are both free.

Depending on what you use that computer for, it may just be best to backup your files and re-install the OS. Malware is quite tricky and even if you remove everything you (or the AV scanners) find, you may still have an infection. The only way to be sure is to completely rebuild the box and then move your data back over (after giving it a virus scan or two, you don't want to rebuild the box and then copy the malware back over.)

If you use this computer for any sort on online banking or the like, definitely change those passwords.

I Think that i´ve solved it for now. Installed norton 2010 instead of eset smart secutiry and it found a great deal of infected files. Since the only thing i use that computer for is games and the likes i don´t think that is that big problem.

Thank you :)

Lock and let die.

Good idea.
