Problem description:
When I click on search results via google (either a toolbar, or www.google.com, or in Google Chrome) I am redirected to some random merchant sites. Every once in a while, a new window pops open to one of these sites as well. My Avast Antivirus and PC Tools Spyware Doctor have not detected the malware so far. My computer also seems to be running slowly, although that could be due to something else, of course. I have a HP laptop, running on Windows XP.

Thanks so much for the help! Here is my HiJackThis logs:

Hi

Please run the following two scans:

DDS
Download DDS.scr by sUBs from one of the following links and save it to your desktop.
Link 1
Link 2
  • Double-Click on dds.scr and a command window will appear. This is normal
  • Shortly after two logs will appear, DDS.txt and Attach.txt
  • A window will open instructing you save and post the logs
  • Save the logs to a convenient place such as your desktop
  • Copy the contents of both logs and post, not attach, in your next reply
Gmer
Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here.
  • Double click the .exe file. If asked to allow gmer.sys driver to load, please consent
  • If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO << Important!

    Image
    Click the image to enlarge it
  • In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. UNcheck the following ...
    • UNcheck Sections
    • UNcheck IAT/EAT
    • UNcheck Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
    • UNcheck Show All (don't miss this one)
  • Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish
  • Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "Gmer.txt" or it will save as a .log file
  • Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop, and post it in reply
**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

Note: Do not run any programs while Gmer is running.

To post in next reply:
Contents of DDS log
Contents of Attach.txt
Contents of Gmer log

Thanks
Vino

Due to a 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.
