Spyware Infection
Good morning guys.
Well, here I'm trying to fight with this infection thats driving me nuts..... ![]() Basically what my computer does is the following: -Whenever I want to perform a search on google, every single link jumps to a site called windowsclick.com and I mean it, every single link takes me to that site, I use safari instead which gives me no problems at all. -I noticed that services.exe on the taskmgr keeps on 30-40% all the time -Sometimes when my computer shows the xp screen that says welcome, it hangs there or also hangs whenever Im doing something. Before i decided to begin this thread, I read your posting rules and I noticed you ask to run two tools (actually one I think, because I read another post that using DDS should be discontinued till further notice). When I attempt to execute GMER.exe it displays the hourglass on my cursor but then nothing happens. I disabled my protection system (ESET SmartSecurity, which I keep up to date), AVG and Windows Defender. By the way, none of these tools has detected a threat so far. Honestly, Im going to the point were I want to open my window and throw this computer away ![]() I must say that any help that any of you guys can provide will be more than welcome, I honestly dont know where to start. Thanks in advance and wish u a good day. Frank Last edited by amateur; 04-13-2009 at 12:21 PM. Reason: to mung the link |

Re: Spyware Infection
Hello and welcome to TSF.

Please try running DDS and if you run into trouble running it, try this tool instead and post its logs in a new thread as this one shall be closed.
