    First, I want you to flush the dirty DNS cache and restore Microsoft's Hosts file:

    Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.

    @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

    Save as flush.bat to your desktop.
    Double click on the flush.bat file to run it.Vista and Windows 7... right click the .bat file and choose to run as Administrator. Your computer will reboot itself.

    After you have done the above,

    Download Combofix from any of the links below, and save it to your desktop.<--Important
    Link 1
    Link 2
    Link 3

    Click on this link Here to see a list of programs that should be disabled.
    The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
    If your anti-virus or firewall complains, please allow this script to run as it is not malicious.
    Next: Disconnect from the internet. If you are on Cable or DSL, unplug your computer from the modem.
    Next: Please disable all onboard security programs (all running with back ground protection) as it may hinder the scanner from working.

    This includes Antivirus, Firewall, and any Spyware scanners that run in the background.
    • Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
    • When finished, it will produce a log for you.
    Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall
    Please be patient while the scan runs, at times it may appear to stall.
    When finished and after reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it should open a log, combofix.txt.
    Post this log in your next reply
    After rebooting ensure your Security applications have been re-enabled.

    In your next reply post:
    ComboFix.txt
    ***A guide and tutorial on "How to use Combofix" can be found here:
    A guide and tutorial on using ComboFix

    IF CF won't run:
    During the download, rename Combofix.exe to sVchost.exe

    Hello Jacee - This appears to have worked. I'm not seeing the redirects anymore. Does this complete the process? Don't want to assume anything. Please advise.

    And once again, I can't thank you enough for the assistance. You and others like you provide an awesome service that help many, many people.

    Thanks,

    Okay, good. Download TFC by Old Timer TFC - Temp File Cleaner by OldTimer - Geeks to Go Forums and save it to your desktop.
    Save any unsaved work. TFC will close ALL open programs including your browser!
    Double-click on TFC.exe to run it. If you are using Vista/Windows 7 right-click on the file and choose Run As Administrator.
    Click the Start button to begin the cleaning process and let it run uninterrupted to completion.
    Important! If TFC prompts you to reboot, please do so immediately. If not prompted, manually reboot the machine anyway to ensure a complete clean.

    TFC (Temp File Cleaner) will clear out all temp folders for all user accounts (temp, IE temp, java, FF, Opera, Chrome, Safari), including Administrator, All Users, LocalService, NetworkService, and any other accounts in the user folder. It also cleans out the %systemroot%\temp folder and checks for .tmp files in the %systemdrive% root folder, %systemroot%, and the system32 folder (both 32bit and 64bit on 64bit OSs). It shows the amount removed for each location found (in bytes) and the total removed (in MB). Before running, it will stop Explorer and all other running apps. When finished, if a reboot is required the user must reboot to finish clearing any in-use temp files.

    After rebooting/restarting your computer:
    Click on the Start button and then select Run from the menu. In the run box type (or copy/paste) ComboFix /Uninstall and click OK. Note the space between the X and the /, it needs to be there.

    Download Secunia Personal Inspector and update all programs that are vulnerable to security exploits. Free Computer Security - Personal Software Inspector (PSI) - Secunia
    Uncheck any "bundled" toolbars, search engines, etc that may be included with the setup.
