Google sites get redirected Options

[atuesta]

Hello,
I am new to this forum and am hoping to get a FINAL solution to my problem. The problem I'm having is that when I search something on Google the search results when clicked will redirect me to some random advertisement website. I understand that at least one other has had this problem but I don't know of a solution.

I have installed AVG and it finds no problem. I ran Windows Defender and it finds no problem. However, last night I ran Windows LiveOne Care and it found three serious problems but was only able to get rid of two of them. The third one seemed to have files named SKYNET and then something else. I tried searching for these filed but cannot find them. Also, I have recently noticed that my C:\Windows\System32 folder is EMPTY. All of this is making me very frustrated.

I decided to download HiJack This and upload the log. Someone with experience, PLEASE read over it and provide me with some guidance. THANK YOU! I ran this without Firefox and IE open. Every other window was closed too.

I'm sorry, but you need to repost you log.

I have moved your Topic that included a HijackThis/DDS log here to the Misplaced HJT Logs forum. You posted your log in a forum not intended for HijackThis/DDS logs analysis. We can only allow topics with such logs in the HijackThis Logs and Malware Removal forum. This restriction is to ensure you get the best help available, from those who specialize in malware anlaysis and removal. It also should prevent you from receiving ineffective or even potentially dangerous advice, whether well meaning or not.

We understand that dealing with malware issues and getting help can be frustrating but improperly posting a log usually happens if you missed the directions we provide to those who require malware removal assistance. Prior to posting a log, we ask that you please read and follow all instructions in the pinned topic titled Preparation Guide For Use Before Posting A Hijackthis Log. Following the steps in this Guide will allow the HJT Team to quickly help you with specific fixes for what may remain on your system.

Please complete all the steps in the Guide. If you can't perform a step, then skip it and continue with the next. In Step 6 there are instructions for downloading and running DDS which will create a Pseudo HJT Report as part of its log.

When you have completed those steps, start a new topic in the HijackThis Logs and Malware Removal forum as directed in the Prep Guide to post a new log.

Please do not post any more logs to this topic as it just a placeholder to be used to help you post the information in the proper way and in the proper forum. Going forward, HijackThis logs should only be posted in the HijackThis Logs and Virus/Trojan/Spyware/Malware Removal in order to make it easier for our helpers to respond to your topic

The Misplaced HJT Logs forum is strictly a holding area where the BC Staff can assist you with preparations for and to properly post your log. If you have a question or encounter a problem in the Prep Guide, please do post back to this topic; that is what it is here for.

When your new DDS/HJT log is posted in the proper forum, please reply to this topic with a link to your new topic. Once that is done, a Member of the HJT Team will analyze your log and assist you with step by step instructions to clean your computer or otherwise advise what needs to be done.

Thanks for your cooperation and good luck.
The BC Staff

Hello

Now that your log is properly posted, you should NOT make further changes to your computer (install/uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc) unless advised by a HJT Team member, nor should you ask for help elsewhere. Doing so can result in system changes which may not show in the log you already posted. Further, any modifications you make on your own may cause confusion for the helper assisting you and could complicate the malware removal process which would extend the time it takes to clean your computer.

From this point on the HJT Team should be the only members that you take advice from, until they have verified your log as clean.

Please be patient. It may take a while to get a response because the HJT Team members are EXTREMELY busy working logs posted before yours. They are volunteers who will help you out as soon as possible. Once you have made your post and are waiting, please DO NOT make another reply until it has been responded to by a member of the HJT Team. Generally the staff checks the forum for postings that have 0 replies as this makes it easier for them to identify those who have not been helped. If you post another response there will be 1 reply. A team member, looking for a new log to work may assume another HJT Team member is already assisting you and not open the thread to respond. Please be patient. It may take a while to get a response but your log will be reviewed and answered as soon as possible

To avoid confusion, I am closing this topic. Good luck with your log.

The BC Staff
