Browser Redirect

TKell · 2010-09-15T19:42:11+00:00

I noticed last week sometime, not sure about the day, that all of a sudden, my browser would be redirected if I click on a link in Google. Last Wednesday/Thursday, I ran my scans - AVG, Windows Defender, Ad-Aware, CCleaner, and Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool. AVG found a trojan, which it removed, but everything else found nothing. I also have Malware Bytes' Anti-Malware tool and Spybot Search and Destroy, but neither of those would open. I uninstalled MB and re-installed it, but still nothing. I'm assuming this started happening around the same time, since I was able to open those applications 3 weeks ago. I ran the HiJack This and here is the log file: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 3:37:43 PM, on 9/15/2010 Platform: Windows Vista SP2 (WinNT 6.00.1906) MSIE: Internet Explorer v8.00 (8.00.6001.18943) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\Windows\system32\taskeng.exe C:\Program Files\IObit\Advanced SystemCare 3\AWC.exe C:\PROGRA~1\ROCKWE~1\RSLinx\RSL

I see you are posting for help for a "Business" computer.

May I draw your attention to THIS topic, which you should have read before posting for help.

The sections ....

Stand alone computers used in any type of business activity
Computers connected to any kind of business network

.... explain why we do not offer help for such computers.
