BleepingComputer.com: Googl Re-Direct on Windows XP

Hello,

I am having problems with the Google re-direct. On Google and Yahoo, when I click on a link my computer gets redirected to different type of ad site, that really vary. I have Windows XP. Also when I plug in a search sometimes the results are all crazy ads. This only happens on IE. On Google Chrome, everything runs 100% normal. I have avast anti-virus, Spy-Bot Search and Destroy and MABM. After running all these scans, my computer is running quickly, but I still have the re-direct on IE. I m nervous about this problem, and I would like to stop it and also prevent it from happening again. There have been many posts about this problem on this site, but I am nervous to proceed without specific advice for my situation. Thanks in advance for your help. Paul

My most recent scan! I have been scanning daily for the past 4 days

Please download SmitfraudFix

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.

You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a Notepad file for reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the Internet to read from this site.

Please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :

• Restart your computer
  
• After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
  
• Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
  
• Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
  
• Choose your usual account.

Once in Safe Mode, double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter" to delete infected files.

You will be prompted : "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the registry ?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter".

The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process; if it doesn't, please restart anyway into normal Windows. A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process; please copy/paste the content of that report.
The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at C:\rapport.txt

Warning : running option #2 on a non infected computer will remove your Desktop background.
