search engine redirect problem

I became aware of a problem when my google searches redirected me to pages other than the URL of the link I clicked on. So far it has only redirected me to search pages that I am not familiar with (no porn, thank goodness). I also suspect that my antivirus program (Avast) has been at least partially disabled.

On my own, I downloarded malwarebytes and ad-aware, these did catch some bad items, but my original problem still persists. I downloaded hijack this and ran it, so I have a hijack this log, as well as the DDS report and rootrepeal reports the guide recommends. So here are the DDS report and RootRepeal report. I'll be glad to post the hijack this report if you need it.

Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it (in advance).

DDS report:

Please be patient and I'd be grateful if you would note the following

• The cleaning process is not instant. DDS logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me. I know that you need your computer working as quickly as possible, and I will work hard to help see that happen.
• Please reply using the Add/Reply button in the lower right hand corner of your screen. Do not start a new topic.
• The logs that you post should be pasted directly into the reply. Only attach them if requested or if they do not fit into the post.
• Unfortunately, if I do not hear back from you within 5 days, I will be forced to close your topic. If you still need help after I have closed your topic, send me or a moderator a personal message with the address of the thread or feel free to create a new one.

In the meantime please, do NOT install any new programs or update anything unless told to do so while we are fixing your problem

If you still need help, please include the following in your next reply

• A detailed description of your problems
• A new DDS log
• GMER log

Please give me some time to review your logs and take the steps necessary with you to get your machine back in working order clean and free of malware.

Thanks and again sorry for the delay.

Hi, thanks for replying. Due to my inexperience, I have (finally) taken my computer to a repair shop. I just don't trust myself to get everything removed. Sorry for the delay in my reply, and have a good holiday. Thanks.

Same to you
