Google Redirect Problem

5 min read

This thread's last reply is from June 17, 2010, 9:39 PM UTC. Software, malware, and removal-tool advice below may be out of date — treat specific steps and download links with caution.

I had some malware on my computer last weekend. It prevented IE from connecting to the internet, but left other programs able to connect. It of course, would not allow Malwarebytes to run normally, I had to rename and scan. I did scans, cleared out the problem, got rid of my old restore points and did another safe mode scan, which came back negative. I then noticed how google searches, when clicked, could be redirected.

I ran Hijackthis and Combofix on the computer. This Hijack this log is after I ran combofix. I am wondering if there is anything I still need to be concerned with.

I should note, after cleaning up things, Windows Update finally ran again automatically, this was not the case for over a week.

-Ryan

Edit: I should note, I use a router for my wireless connections, my computer is hardwired to this router.
