Hello:

When I click on my google search results, I am getting re-directed to "Pricechopper" and other sites. I did a full-scan with my virusscan enterprise and also through malwarebytes. I also installed "superantispyware' and ran that. Virusscan enterprise found something and deleted it, but it seems to come back every once in a while. I even uninstalled firefox, re-booted my machine and installed firefox again. Not sure if the spyware is gone.

Here's my log from HijackThis. I am using Verizon Wireless for now. That's the DNS 66.174.95.44

We are sorry you have waited so long for a response. As you can see, we are quite busy as are all the other help forums. Also, it is possible that you received no response because there was no malware evident in your HijackThis log.

If you still require help, please start a new topic and post a fresh HijackThis log, along with a complete description of all symptoms you are currently experiencing that make you feel your system is infected with malware. Also, in the same post, please include an Uninstall List.

To create an Uninstall List, open HijackThis and, from the Main Menu > click on the "Open the Misc Tools section" button > click "Open Uninstall Manager" > click "Save List." Save the list to your Desktop or any convenient location. Next, copy the contents of the Uninstall List and paste it into the same post as your HijackThis log.

This topic is now closed. Please start a new topic by following the HijackThis Guideline posted here, and be sure to include your Uninstall List: >Guideline for posting your HijackThis log<
