Malware

My Ad-Aware runs tell me that I have the undernoted malware results in my Fire fox Bookmarks.

Family: Malware
Category: Browser: Firefox Bookmark URL: http://www.thebugs.ws/search.shtml?w...rom%20v7.0.8.2


Family: Malware
Category: Browser: Firefox Bookmark URL: http://www.symantic.com

I remove them, but, the next day the same two have appeared. Now, "thebugs" has connotations of spyware- but Symantic, I thought is a reputable company who wouldn't be involved in carrying out spying or spreading malware??

Besides which, at a glance on my list of bookmarks, I can't find either (I haven't pressed "Remove" on Ad-Aware yet.)

Is there a way to find them? And what would be the cause of them returning?

Thanks for reading,

Tosh
