Search Engine Redirect Virus on Firefox

Unread postby wensley » March 3rd, 2009, 3:01 am

I have a problem with a search engine redirect virus. For some Google and Yahoo search results, my browser (I use Firefox 3.0.6) is redirected to another site. The browser is also now prone to crashing and at times it ran very slowly.

I did a scan and clean using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and also SuperAntiSpyWare programs, and it helped. But the problem kept on returning. I ran HijackThis, and the log file is below.

I appreciate any help people can give me.

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.
