Redirect problem

Hello,

I recently have been having a problem with being redirected to websites that I haven't clicked on. For example I'll search for water bottles and click on the website and then I get redirected to yahoo jobs. If I click the back button and click on the web link again it brings me to the intended site. I have tried a virus scan with avast and a spyware scan with AVG anitspyware, neither seems to work.
I'm very new to posting logs etc, so please be patient with me. If anyone can help me that would be great.

My operating system is

Windows Xp sp 3
2 gigs of Ram

I just downloaded hijackthis 1.99.0.1



Thank you,
Mike

If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the HJT forum and wait for help.

Hello and welcome to the forums

My name is Katana and I will be helping you to remove any infection(s) that you may have.

Please observe these rules while we work:
  1. Please Read All Instructions Carefully
  2. If you don't understand something, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
  3. Please do not run any other tools or scans whilst I am helping you
  4. Please continue to respond until I give you the "All Clear"
    (Just because you can't see a problem doesn't mean it isn't there)

If you can do those few things, everything should go smoothly

Please Note, your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use.
Be assured, any links I give are safe


----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I apologize for the delay in responding, but as you can probably see the forums are quite busy.
Unfortunately there are far more people needing help than there are helpers.

If you still require help please do the following


Download and Run RSIT
  • Please download Random's System Information Tool by random/random from here and save it to your desktop.
  • Double click on RSIT.exe to run RSIT.
  • Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
  • Once it has finished, two logs will open:
    • log.txt will be opened maximized.
    • info.txt will be opened minimized.
  • Please post the contents of both log.txt and info.txt.

Re: Redirect problem

Thank you very much for responding, I really appreciate your time.
With that being said I just formatted my laptop. It is fairly new so I didn't have
too much info on it yet. I'm sorry if I have wasted your time, I can see that you are very busy. Thanks again for the quick response.
