Hello,

Please let me thank you in advance for this amazing help you kindly give!

Unfortunately I think I have been infected with some sort of malware that is redirecting my Google searches (as it looks like many people posting on this forum have) and I was wondering if I could get some help removing it.

Please find attached 'attach.txt' and 'ark.log'. Here is my DDS log:

It appears that this issue is resolved, therefore I am closing the topic. If that is not the case and you need or wish to continue with this topic, please send me or any Moderator a Personal Message (PM) that you would like this topic re-opened.
The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who haven't got it.
