Exclamation Porn virus?

I have a school laptop and I think I got this virus. i've done scans with spybot and adaware and have found nothing. Basically everytime I open up firefox it takes me to this pornsite (superav.com) and sometimes wont let me leave. This works on all browsers on my computer, opera, firefox, and internet explorer. Can anyone give me any idea how to get rid of this problem?

EDIT: Also I cannot log into MSN messenger anymore.

Just a redirect, malware, logging into msn sounds like the same problem; the usuall adware scans might fix it, check your startup routines, treat it as a virus, when you scan, scan in safe mode, networking disabled, mallware will act as a virus, I dont recomemend deleting your restore points until you know what is affectecting your system.

I'm not seeing anything out of the ordinary, except for that obvious redirect. Usual scans should take care of it.

Your school gives you ThinkPads? Nice. Since they are probably under a service agreement with someone, you should be able to have them take care of the problem if you can't figure it out.
