Originally the problem was the Google Redirect virus. I didn't have the time to fix it when i first realized this, and i had a second computer so i figured i could come back to the problem. Well when i did try and fix it, the problem had become MUCH worse. When i open a firefox window it will open but is blank and wont go anywhere. That being the case for about a week, today my home page came up, redirecting me to random sites as it had before hand. It gets worse.
I've tried useing the programs HiJackThis, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, ParetoLogic PC Health Advisor 3.1. All of which were previously installed. I can't open any of these. Doesn't matter if i am in safe mode or if i try and run these programs as an admin, i get an error message. "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item."
I reinstalled HiJackThis, same problem.
I've also tried Spyware Doctor, which will open but nothing is clickable making it useless. All my firewalls and safeguards have also been disabled, and i can't open any control panel options that would allow me to change this.
All my information is backed up so if wipeing my computer is the easiest option, and will work, i can do that. Any help with this would be appreciated, i'm pretty clueless at this point due to some of the suggested programs to fix this, not working.
