Hello,

I am not connected to any educational network now and this is my personal computer. Can i please receive the resolution now? This browser hijack problem is killing me and your forum is the only source for removal.
Typing any thing other than the exact browser address in firefox redirects to smartwebsearch.net
and I am not able to take it out with any tool. Please help, I have not been able to use DDS on my system, hence I am pasting the hijackthis report and the uninstall list.

Thanks
