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.)
As of yet, I have not detected anything out of the ordinary.Originally Posted by DDS.scrDDS (Ver_10-10-10.03) - NTFSx86

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?
