BleepingComputer.com: Google Keeps Redirecting

Hello

I would like you to run IE without addons to see if the problem clears up


You can see how to do this here - http://www.askdrtech.com/solutions/post/How-to-run-IE8-without-add-ons.aspx


gringo

Yes, google worked with IE without add-ons!

Hello


That means that one of the add/ons are causing the problem.

To find out which one will take a little work - you need to disable them one at a time untill you find out which one is causing the problem - you can see how to do this on this page - http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/3892/manage-and-troubleshoot-addons-in-internet-explorer-8/


gringo

Believe it or not, the first one I disabled (CTHtml by Creative Technology Ltd) seemed to be the culprit. No more redirecting! Thank you so much.

These logs are looking alot better. But we still have some work to do.

Please print out these instructions, or copy them to a Notepad file. It will make it easier for you to follow the instructions and complete all of the necessary steps..

uninstall some programs

1. click on start
2. then go to settings
3. after that you need control panel
4. look for the icon add/remove programs
click on the following programs

Adobe Reader 9.3

Update Adobe Reader

Recently there have been vunerabilities detected in older versions of Adobe Reader. It is strongly suggested that you update to the current version.

You can download it from http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/readstep2.html
After installing the latest Adobe Reader, uninstall all previous versions.
If you already have Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition installed or do not wish to have it installed UNcheck the box which says Also Download Adobe Photoshop® Album Starter Edition.


If you don't like Adobe Reader (53 MB), you can download Foxit PDF Reader(7 MB) from here. It's a much smaller file to download and uses a lot less resources than Adobe Reader.

Note: When installing FoxitReader, be carefull not to install anything to do with AskBar.

These logs are looking very good, we are almost done!!! Just one more scan to go.

:Remove unneeded startup entries:

This part of the fix is purely optional
These are programs that start up when you turn on your computer but don't need to be, any of these programs you can click on their icons (or start from the control panel) and start the program when you need it. By stopping these programs you will boot up faster and your computer will work faster.

• Run HijackThis
  
• Click on the Scan button

• Close all open windows and browsers/email, etc...
  
• Click on the "Fix Checked" button
  
• When completed, close the application.
  
  
  NOTE**You can research each of those lines >here< and see if you want to keep them or not
