    1. Download and run the free version of Malwarebytes. Note malware found and delete it.
    2. Copy text below into a new instance of NotePad and save as flush.bat on your desktop.
    3. Run as adminstrator - it will automatically shut down computer
    4. Check to see if redirection still happens.

    Code:
    @Echo on
    pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
    attrib -h -s -r hosts
    echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
    attrib +r +h +s hosts
    popd
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns
    netsh winsock reset all
    netsh int ip reset all
    shutdown -r -t 1
    del %0

    Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
    • Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
    • Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista, 7, or 8; instead of double-clicking, right-mouse click JRT.exe and select "Run as Administrator".
    • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
    • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
    • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
    • Post the contents of JRT.txt into your next message.

    • AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
    • After the scan has finished, click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R#].txt) will open in Notepad for review (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
    • The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
    • Copy and paste the contents of that logfile in your next reply.
    • A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which was created when running the tool.

    risingflight,

    If you opt to run the programs suggested, there is still a possibility for remnants to remain in the system. To see whatever is left, and remove it, please use the tool that follows...

    Zoek:
    Download > Download zoek.exe version 5.0.0.0
    Click: Download Zoek.exe version 5.0.0.0 (Do not click .zip or .rar)

    When the download shows, and you get the option to save, please do so to the Desktop.
    Right-click zoek.exe and select: Run as Administrator (Give it a few seconds to appear.)

    If your AntiVirus warns you about the program, either allow Zoek to run, or temporarily disable your AV program.
    Info on how to disable your security applications > How To Temporarily Disable Your Anti-virus, Firewall And Anti-malware Programs - Security Mini-Guides

    Next, copy and then paste the entire script inside the code box below to the input field of Zoek:

    Code:
    createsrpoint; 
    process; 
    filesrcm; 
    startupall; 
    installedprogs;
    installer-list; 
    uninstall-list;
    hijackthis; 
    firefoxlook; 
    chromelook;  
    srinfo; 
    DIR /S /A:L "%systemdrive%\*">>"%temp%\log.txt";b
    Now...

    Close any open windows.

    Click the Run script button and wait. It takes a few minutes to run all the script.

    When finished, the zoek-results.log is opened in Notepad.
    If a reboot is needed the log is opened after the reboot.

    The log is also found on the systemdrive, normally C:\

    Please post the zoek-results.log in your reply.
