I've been wrestling with malware that's redirecting the results of Google searches. It's only happening in Firefox. I've run Malwarebytes, AVG & Superantispyware. The first picked up some malware, but none solved the problem. Running No Script add-on in FF blocks the redirect, but isn't too useful since it keeps changing the redirect URL. I'm also getting an occasional Just-in-time debugger screen coming up. Tried to get rid of that also, but it's not going away either. I suspect it's all connected... .
I've followed the preperation instructions here and am ready to upload the DDS & ARC text scans.
I'm also pretty darned close to just do a clean XP reinstall -- it's my mother-in-law's computer and she's been letting her grand kids use it, which is likely the source of the problem. So another question: my plan would be to create a password protected Admin account on XP and a no-priviledges kids account. That and AVG/Malware would be the main protection. Is that reasonable and effective? Other suggestions?
Many thanks!
EDIT: this got moved because I didn't also post the scan logs with it. I've since done that at that forum. If anyone has thoughts on future protection (as above), I'd appreciate it.
