Use Norman Malware Cleaner: http://www.norman.com/support/support_tools/58732/en-us
It's a "one-time use & then delete it" tool because they update it daily. It's a great program - I've used it previously. Your anti-virus & anti-spyware programs should also be able to remove it

Why does almost everytime I go to facebook Im redirected to myspace?
Q. It happens with other sites aswell like metacafe or collegehumor. Is this a virus? I have a mac.

A. "Is this a virus"
Sorry to say,Yes. Any redirection of web pages, be a Mac or a Windows PC is an infection. Being a Mac limits your selection of a removal tool but here is one that is Free
