I picked up the virus that redirects browser searches to random sites. I am running XP Media Edition and use Firefox although redirects also occur in IE Explorer. I have run Spybot, PC doctor, Malwarebytes, CCleaner, Hijackthis, Combofix but nothing has worked ( although I did clean up some other malware along the way). I read in another link on this site that I might just have to reformat and start anew but others seem to have had success in removing this. I have had this for about a week and have taken it as far as I can on my own. I am hoping some kind soul will take me on, and read my logs, as the thought of reloading windows is just too painful.
This is my latest log from CombFix:
