Browser Hijacking

Re run Malware Bytes and have it remove all that it finds. Once done... re scan and upload a hopefully clean log.

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 or Seven, right-mouse click it 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.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

Do the below:
Reset Google Chrome to defaults

How are things running?

 

Ready for final steps?

 

No problem.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
2. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
4. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
5. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
   
6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
   
   
7. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:

A quick question, Nicke

Couldn't you get into Normal Startup mode? Alot more info would be revealed that way for Kes.

*Kestrel is offline, probably until tomorrow morning.

I'll check to see if more malware is the cause, or damaged from using Torrents, a great way to get your system screwed!

 

Your latest issues are not malware related. I would suggest that you post in our Software forum for additional help.
