IE Redirect when using Google or Yahoo

[therschbach]

This same problem was solved in another thread but the steps taken were for that specific user and it was warned not to follow the same steps or I might mess something up.

Here is a link to the other thread for reference.... http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=19182

Basically, when I search with Google or Yahoo, I am redirected to marketing sites when I click on one of the results of my search. On the third try, it takes me to the correct site every time.

I tried running trend micro and Kaspersky but both crash IE about half-way through the scan.

I have run Spy-Bot successfully and cleaned all the red problems although it wasn't in Safe mode because when I boot and hit F8 after the post beep, it only asks me for which device I want to boot from.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hmmm, it seems I have fixed it....

I installed AVG and tried scanning and it kept locking up when it scanned my Local/TEMP folder so I deleted all contents. I had to restart to delete a few of them but now I get no redirect from google and the AVG scan seems to be working so far.

All advice given is taken at your own risk.
Please make sure you have read this information so we are on the same page.

Tell you want, I see no antivirus program running in the first HJT log? That's cyber-suicide anymore and you are going to get infected.

If you are talking about AVG AntiVirus 7.5 from Grisoft, I run it myself but to my knowledge it will not remove this infection.

You have evidence in the HJT log that you have been hacked by Ukrainians. You get to make the call, if you wish me to look further to be sure you are clean,
read the instructions posted above and pinned to the top of the forum. I only need to see a new HJT log now and please describe any symptoms you are experiencing.

I'll close this topic in a day or so, assuming that you think you are clean.

Thanks
