Something is redirecting search results on my computer.
I tried my anti-virus (avg free) and it removed several things. I restarted an tried again.
Same problem.
I've tried a few different spyware programs:
Malwarebytes, Spybot, bazooka...(basically the first several things that came up on a cnet search).
Malwarebytes found some registry issues and I uninstalled firefox and then reinstalled it (hate IE).
Still having the issues.
Here are the logs from Hijack this:
Logfiles removed.

2/26 EDIT: decided to reformat the drive.
Thank you for time.
