Browser hijack after Antimalware Doctor attack

Hi There, I hope someone can help me here! Yesterday I was attacked by Antimalware Doctor and AV Security Suite whilst I managed to remove all the annoying pop ups and fake warnings that were slowly killing my machine I noticed in the Add/Remove Programmes uninstall list that there were several new additions I presumed from the recent attack. They were Street-Ads Browser Enhancer, Sky-Banners browser enhancer and Performance Platform Voguecash. I have managed to remove (I hope!) all but Performance Platform Vogue cash. Now my browser appears to of been hijacked as when I search and then click on a result it either goes to a completely unrelated ad page, wont connect or the URL cant be found. Even when I type URLs directly into the address bar it just seems to hang for long periods and then not connect? I hope the info I have included is correct? Thanks in advance for your help! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Logfile of Trend

Hi andy.

I really cant thank you enough for your help.... Really is appreciated!

You're welcome glad we could help

I stopped using this as my email client about a year ago, can I just go to C:\Documents and Settings\[redacted]\Application Data and delete the Thunderbird folder?

Yes that would do it or i can give you a fix that will do it for you if you wish.
Let me know in you're next reply and if you have any other questions.
