Search Engine Redirect/Malware Removal Help Needed

[spoofdogg]

Hello,

I have an interesting problem. I recently downloaded a program, and it was a virus disguised as another program..... Now when I am in google or yahoo I click on a link and it sends me to another page, not what I was clicking on. If I close the window and go back, it will open the correct page.

Also, I cannot connect to www.safer-networking.org (http://www.safer-networking.org) or malwarebytes servers.

I know that the servers are not down because my work computer is not infected and can connect to these sites.....

I have AVG Virus scan which has not resolved this, as well as CCleaner.

I've installed Spybot S&D, but cannot update because I cant connect to their server....

Any help on how to get rid of this would be greatly appreciated.

I am running Vista Pro, and really don't want to re-install it.

Thanks,
-Jesse

Hello spoofdogg, :)

Please see the forum FAQ which details how to produce a HJT log and copy paste it into a new topic here in this Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22)

"BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)

If HJT won't run please start a new topic anyway, make note of the situation and a volunteer analyst will advise you when available.

Best regards.
