I have an update and redirect problem

Unread postby Magicdave » November 3rd, 2010, 6:59 pm

Hi... my computer, for a while, has been redirecting websites. I started investigating what this could be and discovered that it is probably malware. CA is my security tool of choice currently. I tried to go to microsoft to download their updates, but discovered I could not go to microsoft's update website because I get Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage message. Tried to download ad-ware signature update but get a can't connect with server message. I can not update spy-bot or microsoft security updates. When I google malware site type questions i get also get Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage message when I click on the links on the page. On another computer I found this forum and I hope you can help me out. Below are my HijackThis and Uninstall List.

Hello Magicdave,

Unfortunately, we cannot help remove malware from a computer, used for business purposes.
Many of these type systems may have specific modifications made..which could be removed or damaged by the tools we use. These altered systems may also hinder our tools, possibly reducing their effectiveness in removing the malware.
An extract taken from the Malware Removal's rules posted at the top of the Malware Removal forum:
Malware Removal Administration wrote:Computers used in a business environment often have policies and other modifications made to them. It is impossible for us to differentiate these from ones that have been made by an infection, so in removing what we think is an infection, we may compromise the business set up of your computer.

The scans we run often reveal information that most businesses would not want exposed in an open forum, and there are other legal constraints and ramifications involved with business machines that we are not equipped or trained to deal with.

We will close any topic where we believe the computer is one that is used in a business environment, irrespective of whether that business is a large company or a small one man enterprise.


I'm sorry, that I am not able to offer you more assistance. Thank you, for your understanding in this matter.
I will now ask for this topic to be closed.

Thank you,

John

There is no true business environment that this computer is used for. Mircosoft Office apps, website management from Serif, and things of that nature. Nothing that might not be on almost everyone else computer. There is no modifications for business on this computer. Is there some where else I can get help, if you can't help me in this forum?
