Hello Everyone,

:sad:
On 3/7/2012 I was hit with the spyware or virus that is redirecting my google searches to other websites. I was using an non-admin account on my computer and I do recall two exe files asking for permission to be updated or installed. One was 'File.exe' by the microsoft corp and the other one I do not remember.

Can someone please assist me in removing this annoying threat? I am scared to order things online or even log in to websites with my personal information until this is fixed.

Thanks everyone
:heart:

Hello mistelle,

Please see the Malware Removal Forum (http://forums.spybot.info/forumdisplay.php?f=22) sticky which includes instructions in post #2 on how to provide the preliminary "DDS" logs which are used for analysis.

Then start a new topic providing those logs and a volunteer analyst will advise you when available. :)

Best regards.
