Hello

I am being redirected to different sites everytime i click on a google search link. I have viewed a different topic in this forum that had the same problem as I do, but the solution to that one did not solve mine. Here is the link (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/lofiversion/index.php/t85997.html). Please help! Thanks.

Hello and welcome.
Are you running XP and what antivirus tools are installed?
Have you scanned from safe Mode with it?

Please run this scan and tell us if you are still having redirects.

If Vista, Run As Administrator

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.

• Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
• Double-click on Download_mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
• When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
• When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
• Then click Finish.
• MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan. If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue. If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.
• On the Scanner tab:
  • Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
  • Then click on the Scan button.
• If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
• The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
• When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
• Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.
• Back at the main Scanner screen, click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to restart your computer. (see Note below)
• The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.

Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts. Click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

I am running XP and i was using an AVG anti-virus program but I uninstalled it. I'm not sure if i have any other anti-virus tools installed.

Here is the log report.

I am still being redirected. When i run the anti-malware program it shows 5 infected files, and i remove them all sucessfully. I run another scan again to make sure they were removed and it says 0 infected files. So I go to Google and click on a search link and I am redirected again so I run the scan a third time and it shows 5 infected files again. So it seems whenever I go on the internet I get infected again.

Heres the log:
