The redirect virus (again!)

[MUZ13]

My Windows XP PC has been infected for several weeks.
The redirect virus seems to be building a list of sites or keywords which is now stopping me from accessing sites that give information on removing the redirect virus (so this is being compiled and sent from my Apple Imac!)
Your thoughts and suggestions on how to deal with this will be greatly appreciated.


Additional info: I have tried to download DDS but with no success. The download gets to 99% complete and then hangs.

Next approach?

Hello MUZ13,

Preliminary questions in order to try and get a log so that a helper can assist. :)


My Windows XP PC has been infected for several weeks.
Have you been on the Internet with this machine during that time?

What security programs are installed?


Additional info: I have tried to download DDS but with no success. The download gets to 99% complete and then hangs.

Using a clean machine can you download DDS and burn onto a DVD and then run it on the infected machine to produce and post the log?

Best regards.
