Hello, my Hijacthis log is pasted below. Frequently after conducting a google (or yahoo) search, when I click on the link, I get re-directed to a completely different, unrequested site, which is usually a marketing site of some sort...not necessarily the same site. I have noticed, when clicking on a link suggested by a Google search, that in the lower left side of my screen I see "Waiting for http://www.ecata.info... I'm not sure if that is relevant.

Hi

Remove P2P software
While looking over your log, I have noticed the following Peer-to-Peer filesharing programs are present on your computer:

BitTorrent DNA

These programs are the #1 source of infected systems. Although the software itself can be clean, the files you download are often infected with malware. Because of this, we do not allow P2P software present on machines we're cleaning anymore..

This means you must remove the above Peer-to-Peer filesharing programs and any others present on your machine. For an fully explanation of our policy, please read the following P2P Program Policy.

You can uninstall these programs in the Control Panel -> Add/remove Programs. Please do so and post a new HijackThis log if you still need help with your case.

Due to lack of response, this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
