Malware removal
Hello,
last week i brought a new laptop, it came with the norton antivirus free trial. While visiting a site (i dont remember what) norton detected a virus (again i dont remember what) norton then crashed on me and would not run at all even after following the "fixes" it suggested. Ive always used AVG free on my PC's so i uninstalled Norton and after a few attempts finally managed to find and install AVG.I ran AVG which had a few hits but all were successfully removed. After that i also tried to install Spybot however it will not fully install, i get to the final page for installation, click install and then I get a error which reads " Error Sending Request The server name or address could not be resolved"
I know I have some form of virus/ spyware or somethimg on my PC as my browser frequently directs to Myspace (which i dont use) on the first click on a link, but when i go back to my search and click the same link again it will generally take me to where i need to go- unless it is a Safer Networking page (in which case the link is always broken)
My browser has also been opening up webpages that generally start with ad. eg ad.reduxmedia.com, doubleclick.net etc.
We have ran Ad-Aware and CCleaner to which nothing has happens, it cleans the files and they come back again.
My system info is:
Hewlett-Packard
Compaq Presario CQ40 Notebook PC
Processor: AMD Athlon X2 Dual-Core QL-64 2.1GHz
Memory: 4.00 GB
System Type: 32-bit Operating Syster
I have posted my hijackthis log below, so any help would be greatful
