Hi - my child was using my laptop, and he seems to have visited some malicious website to get cheat codes for games... now when I try to search on google/yahoo/any other major search engine, as soon as the result page opens, the entire web page shifts to the right by about 200px (this is on firefox). Then down the left hand side a set of 'sponsored links' are brought up.

The links point to some ad website called precisead.biz. I've tried using spybot, adaware and malwarebytes' anti-malware to get rid of this, but nothing is sorting it out.

If I click on a search result, for a split second, the page is restored to its normal view (ie the sponsored links on the left disappear) and then I am taken to my selected webpage... no other webpage seems to have these sponsored links - just search engine result pages.

Also, my internet speed has been reduced when using search engines and every so often the browser will close for no reason.


Here is my HJT Log:
