Windows XP Pro SP3 - Fat fingered a web address and now every time I do a google seach it gets re-directed. Also, the SVCHost.exe process keeps spinning out of control with memory. Have scanned with Trend Micro Office Sca, Spyboy S&D, Ms MSRT, and MalwareBytes, but none of them can pick this thing up. So I am posting the restuls of my HiJackThis log for analysis.
