This thread's last reply is from January 27, 2009, 11:50 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

It doesn't seem to matter the search engine, the returns are hijacked. I've looked through some of the other posts here and followed the recommendations, but the problem persists. Below is a Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware log. Thanks in advance for your help.

In order for us to help you it is necessary that you provide us with a HijackThis log. Please follow the guideline at the link below to start a new topic and post your HijackThis log. Also include a copy of your Malwarebytes log, but keep in all in one post.

While waiting for a response from a helper, please refrain from further attempts at self-fixing the problem as that often will only serve to obscure the actual source of the symptoms rather than fixing the problem itself.
