Hi

My google page has been hijacked by a spoof page whose links take me to random search page etc. The initial redirect takes me to a page called copy-book

I have ran almost every anti virus software known to man and still cannot get rid of it.

I have tried to get DNS automatically and flushed the DNS etc but nothing works.

Any help is much appreciated.

I enclose my fixwareout log and my hijack this log (after fixwareout has been run).

Welcome to SAF, Richard.

Can you uninstall Spybot, reboot and run Fixwareout again. Spybot's TeaTimer can be a pain in the rear by preventing necessary changes being made during a cleanup. It may have prevented Fixwareout from being as effective as it should.

Post fresh logs from both programs please.

Hi

Thanks for the help I have uninstalled spybot and reran the fixwareout. Here are the logs now

Hi

Sorry - this is completely my fault - I use two browsers IE7 and Mozilla. After running fixwareout I ran mozilla to get this site to reply before running hijack this.

I have started again - FixWareOut, HijackThis as follows:
