[ray75399]

When I attempt to link to a site from search engines (tried Google, Yahoo, and Altavista) I get re-directed to a site trying to sell me something. Note the URL identified in Google. If I copy and paste the URL directly into the Internet Explorer browser it gets me to where I want to go (it does not redirect to another site.

I have run Microsoft Defender, SpyBot S&D, Ad-Ware (Lavasoft), Macaffee Antivirus. I downloaded all XP critical patches months before I started getting this problem. All critical patches are installed.

This is my Highjackthis log file. I hope someone can help me with this.

Before begining the fix, read this post completely. If there's anything that you do not understand, kindly ask your questions before proceeding. Ensure that there aren't any opened browsers when you are carrying out the procedures below.

It is IMPORTANT that you don't miss a step & perform everything in the correct order/sequence.

Your computer is quite infected and the following instructions represent only the first step of our process of disinfection. So please stick with me throughout the process until you are pronounced clean.

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

Please print out or copy these instructions/tutorial to Notepad as the internet will not (while in Safe Mode) be available to you at certain points of the removal process.

_______________________________________________________________________________


HJT Location

You are running Hijack This from a temporary directory. It needs to be in a permanent folder. Please go into Windows Explorer, click on C: then click on File > New > Folder and call it HJT , or another name of your choice. The program creates backup files that we may need to use later. If the program is in a Temporary folder, files may be deleted by you or automatically if your system is set to empty temp files.

__________________________________________________________________________________


Disable Security Softwares

Please disable your Windows Defender Real-time Protection, as it may hinder the removal of some entries.

• Open Windows Defender.
• Click on Tools, General Settings.
• Scroll down and uncheck Turn on real-time protection (recommended).
• After you uncheck this, click on the Save button and close Windows Defender.

__________________________________________________________________


Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

• Save it to your desktop and run it.
• Click "Next", then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
• The fix will begin: Please follow the prompts.
• You will be asked to reboot your compute: Please do so.
• Your system may take longer than usual to load and this is normal.

Once the desktop loads a text file will open (report.txt), you can close it - the file has already been saved.

Run HijackThis. Click "Do a System Scan Only" , and place a check next to the following items (if found):
