Unauthorized connection/access to my PC, Browser redirection

[NLSB]

I have been having problems with unauthorized connections to my PC (as shown my looking at Netstat results). Some browser redirection has also occurred when clicking on Google's search results in Firefox. I also get "this URL is not valid and cannot be loaded" alerts quite often (most recently, just now when I click on the submit button to post this post!). I will now go to my Apple computer and post from there. I do not have specifics on the sites at this time but will keep track next time it happens. Norton 360 Premiere keeps giving me warnings of attempted attacks. I fear not all are or have been intercepted by Norton.
Thanks!
NLSB

Hi and welcome to Malware Removal Forums, Sorry for the delay in answering your request for help.
We have had more logs than we could handle in a timely manner.
My name is Cypher, and I will be helping you with your malware problems.

Please be aware that removing Malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.

Because of this, I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.
Read Back up your files

please note the following important guidelines.

• The instructions being given are for YOUR computer and system only!.
  Using these instructions on a different computer, can damage that computer and possibly make it inoperable!
• If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
• Only post your problem at One help site. Applying fixes from multiple help sites can cause problems.
• Only reply to this thread do not start another, Please continue responding until I give you the "All Clean"
  Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
• Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans whilst I am helping you.
• Please DO NOT install any other software (or hardware) during the cleaning process.
• Print each set of instructions... if possible...your Internet connection will not be available during some fix processes.
• Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
• The logs from the tools we use can take some time to research so please be patient.
