Hello,
I have heard a bunch of good news about this site. You guys are a bunch of bust ass renegades.
Well, my issue is that of a slow computer. Also every time i click a link it takes me to a foriegn site, and not the intended site. Is there something that I can do, or is a reboot the best remedy?
Thanks in advance. I hope the weekend was great for you.

It sounds like you have aquired a "browser hijacker"

Hello,
Now that you have posted a log here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic232381.html 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 continue to 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.
