Suspected Google redirect thing.

[YupAnotherOne]

OK, I think I have done everything you asked. I cleared the old system restore points and then re-enabled after a reboot. Uninstalled ComboFix using the copy pasted script in run. Updated both Internet Explorer and Windows, and set the internet options for explorer as directed. Used Secunia to find a few obsolete programs and got rid of them (although it seems confused into thinking there is a Firefox version 3.x on the system due to the ERDNT cache, so even though I updated to 5.x it still lists it).

The system is still running nice and smoothly, no Google redirects or anything. I will attempt to remain vigilant with the updates so that it stays that way. I thank you again for all that you have done, and hope you have a great day too! (and week, and month and year hopefully)

You're welcome

Does PSI show you more details about that finding?

[YupAnotherOne]

Actually, now it seems to no longer display it as an issue so never mind

I believe before the details just said there was an upgrade available (an earlier version than the one I had curiously), and showed the program location which was not in the firefox folder, but instead in the "C:\Windows\ERDNT\cache64" folder, which is why I assumed it was because of the backups or something.

Ok. Any other issues left or shall we see the case as resolved?

[YupAnotherOne]

No other issues, the case can most definitely be called resolved. So I guess it is good bye, and thank you for all your patience and generosity. Good luck with your next case
