Hi
Let's take action against that problem
Please download GooredFix and save it to your Desktop. Double-click Goored.exe to run it. Select 1. Find Goored (no fix) by typing 1 and pressing Enter. A log will open, please post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called GooredLog.txt). Note: Do not run Option #2 yet.

Awesome, I just want to get rid of all the crap from my laptop.
I have pasted the requested log below. Also, I have not done the activities you asked in the last post yet. Do you want me to do those or wait till we finish everything else?

Hi
Those earlier instructions are meant to be followed after system is clean. So, let's fix the remaining issue first
Please double-click GooredFix.exe on your Desktop to run it. Select 2. Fix Goored by typing 2 and pressing Enter. Make sure all instances of Firefox are closed at this point. Type y at the prompt and press Enter again. A log will open, please post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called GooredLog.txt).

Hi,
I have been surfing for last two days and I did not have any of my search results open into a spam site. Thnx!!
Good to hear thatLet's remove GooredFix now.
Click Start >> Run and then copy/paste the following into the box and hit Enter:
"%userprofile%\Desktop\GooredFix.exe" /uninstall
If any of your security programs query a new Registry/AutoStart value being added please allow the changes.

It is good to have those spam sites removed. I have uninstalled the GooredFix.
Good. Anything else left or shall we close the topic as ready now?

I think that should do it. You have taken care of all the issues. I am really grateful to you and appreciate all your help. Thank you very much!!
Is there anything else that I should be doing? I will make sure to download and install all the updates regularly. One last thing, can you pls recommend which antivirus and antispyware/antimalware should I be using regulary?
