I've tried smitfraudfix, malwarebytes (fully updated), uninstalling/reinstalling IE, trendmicro/housecall, Avast boot scan, McAfee full virus scan, AdAware full scan, SuperAntiSpyware, and running IE in No Add on mode.
and
cannot stop whatever is redirecting / jump my search or page selections, unless I bypass search
by sending a link in an email and open from that. All scans were done twice in safe mode when they would run in safe, and at this point the spyware/malware/ anti-virus' are 'reporting' finding nothing by cookies (low risk). McAfee. Avast, AdAware & trendmicro housecall.
And I believe these are related to the infecting issue ::
DHCP keeps getting not started, i can get to it and start it, but within a short while it's showing Not started (stopped) again. System restore was shut off / and corrupted by something - so that needs corrected. etc.
I have Combofix
Downloaded Only, and saved to desktop, if needed. As well as fully updated anti-virus' programs named above. All definitions databases are new 1/2 hr. ago (and before I'd use each one). And I have a clean laptop (my own) ready if something cannot be acquired thru infected PC.
Please help me find what I'm missing, it's gotta be a hijacker I'm not recognizing. Thanks in advance. Nan
