Google search results hijacked

This problem is now intermittent, and has been going on for the past 5 days.

I have already:

- Scanned my system with numerous (and I mean numerous) antivirus, antimalware, and (I'll admit) registry cleaner (as a last resort...) software.
- Cleared out all TEMP folders
- Ran HijackThis, and triple-/quadruple-checked all items
- Uninstalled/Reinstalled JAVA
- Restored all system files to a known working date
- Ran SFC /scannow
- Uninstalled/Reinstalled all browsers
- Took a detailed look at my Event Viewer (some errors, but nothing out of the ordinary)

...among many, many other attempts at restoring my system.

AVAST! is currently my a/v. The hijacks started before while I was running MS Security Essentials.

The original problem hijacked my browser(s) every time I opened a web page, including an attempt at hijacking my homepage.
I was using Microsoft Security Essentials at the time as my A/V
I am now currently using AVAST!, as stated above, in addition to using SPYBOT's (had it instaleld before my System Restore. Will install before my next reboot.)

After scanning my system with various system scanners and removing detected threats, the hijacks became less often (@ 2-3 clicks into search results)

After restoring my system using System Restore (currently), the hijacks are still less often but still happen every 3-4 clicks on occasion. Sometimes I can go as long as @ 10 clicks before the hijacks happen.

Hijacked redirect web pages also still appear at random during browsing without any prompting (no links clicked, no typing, etc.). (They are similar to my search result hijack pages, so are these are delayed hijacks?)

I have a host of information. Please let me know what you want me to paste.

As requested, here is my DDS log: (Please note that prior to my last scan, I disabled AVAST! For this reason, you will probably not see AVAST! as part of my running processes.)

============= FINISH: 9:27:37.05 ===============

As of yet, I have not detected anything out of the ordinary.
I have removed so many viruses and hijackers in the past without any issue, so this is quite baffling.
The next step imo is to just nuke and repave.......
I do not know how this hijacker got on my system. I am usually very *very* careful about what I download and where I browse.

Please let me know any suggestions. Any thoughts at all will be greatly appreciated.

Also, please note that I have read "BEFORE you POST". ;)
=======================

Please, can anybody help?

=======================

Edit
Waiting for help in the Malware Forum FOUR days or longer?

I appreciate the reply, but I ran ComboFix on my own since nothing (and I mean nothing could figure out the problem. Not even a complete re-installation of all browsers did the trick.

In case anyone else is experiencing this issue, ComboFix identified the infected file as such: c:\windows\system32\drivers\rdpencdd.sys

Hi daggit

Quote:

ComboFix SHOULD NOT be used unless requested by a forum helper

1. Download TDSSKiller and extract its contents into a folder in desired location (i.e. c:\tdsskiller).
2. Execute the file TDSSKiller.exe.
3. Click Start Scan. If threats are found, select cure and click Continue (tool may prompt for a reboot).
4. Post back contents of log file in c: drive root (name should be in UtilityName.Version_Date_Time_log.txt format)

Thanks peku006

I understand that it should only be used if requested, but seeing as I had run out of options (uncluding GMER and Kaspersky's TDSS rootkit scanners, both of which turned up nothing) I scoured networking and forum boards for clues.

Another user on this board was experiencing malware symptoms not unlike mine, and a forum helper did indeed prescribe ComboFix (without prior suggestions for other scanners..)

Since this topic had been about 6-7 days without reply (I didn't know about Waiting for help in the Malware Forum FOUR days or longer?) I decided to give it a go.

Though if I can find my TDSS killer log I'll be sure to post it for the benefit of others..

Due to a lack of response, this topic is now closed

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Malware Removal forum, include a
fresh DDS log, and wait for a new helper.
