browser redirect virus / can not open widows xp in safe mode

Unread postby gtbfl » November 26th, 2009, 9:01 pm

hi,
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:

ComboFix is not a tool that is intended to be used without the direct supervision of a qualified expert. To use ComboFix on your own is to court disaster for your computer. Please stop all attempts at self-fixes for your system's issues as that may only confuse the issue further and cause additional problems as well.

In order for us to help you it is necessary that you provide us with a HijackThis log. Please follow the guideline at the link below to start a new topic and post your HijackThis log. Also include your ComboFix log in the same post.
