Google searches redirected, cannot change hosts file

Unread postby nigel08 » December 12th, 2009, 11:32 pm

I recently accidentally ran a suspicious program that I found on the Internet and it gave me a ton of problems, including redirecting my searches when I use google. After cleaning up with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, my anti-virus program, and spybot there is still a lingering issue where my hosts file located in C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc\hosts is filled with a whole bunch of stuff besides the normal 'localhost' entry. Spybot cannot access this file and I can't save over it myself - trying to delete or rename it from the command prompt results in "The system cannot find the file specified".

My situation seems to be exactly the same as a previous user in this thread: http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?p=351278

Same messages from HiJackThis as the previous user reported. I followed the same instructions including running ComboFix with no issues, but I will post the logs here. Hopefully someone can help me get rid of the search redirecting! I think that's the only virus/malware that's left...
