Hi, I have a problem on my computer. When I go to the internet and try to search for something it redirects me to other sites. It also seems to stop some of my programs. I cant run spybot, and I cant run micro trends free scanner. I have AVG free scanner, but it doesnt seem to help. My computer is also quite a bit slower. Any advice? Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.

We have a great system for ridding your PC of nasty pests. Follow the [Pre-Work] link in my signature below. Complete all of the tasks and post the logs you generate back into this post as attachments.

Hi Milk,

Welcome to PCHF. We have a wonderful team of techs here, and I am sure that we will be able to resolve your RLM (rotton little monster) infection.

Please carefully follow the instructions for PreWork in my signature. Make sure to save the ewido log, and unzip HijackThis to it's own folder. Once you have finished, post the resulting two logs back here.

Looking forward to your reply,

TTFN

I do not know if I did this right, hopefully I did. I went through the pre-work, and when I ran that E-program in safe mode, it cleaned 7 things up. When I restared my computer, I no longer had the problem of my internet changing pages on me, so I hope that one problem is solved. I look forward to your advice once you have looked at my attachments. Thank you kindly for the help.

Well done! A member of the PC Security Team will have a look at those logs for you soon.

Hya Milk.

Did you also save the scanning results log from Ewido? If yes , can you post that aswell?

If not have a look if it was saved here:

C:\Program Files\ewido\security suite\Reports

I'll have a look at youre hjt log to see what needs to done.
