    hello,

    read and run me first logs from my GF's dell inspiron
    this laptop had a hijacked desktop (black screen) and disabled task manager
    after several scans with MB, this original situation was resolved...
    (all the MB scans are attached)

    but now the browser still redirects links and urls, for example when i typed
    majorgeeks.com into the url bar it re-directed me to "geeks.com", when i pulled
    majorgeeks.com down into the url bar a 2nd time, it finally took me here...

    thanks for your help!

    Go to the below link and follow the instructions for running TDSSKiller from Kaspersky

    Be sure to attach your log from TDSSKiller

    Please also download MBRCheck to your desktop.

    See the download links under this icon [​IMG]

    • Double click MBRCheck.exe to run (vista and Win 7 right click and select Run as Administrator)
    • It will show a Black screen with some information that will contain either the below line if no problem is found:
      • Done! Press ENTER to exit...
    • Or you will see more information like below if a problem is found:
      • Found non-standard or infected MBR.
      • Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
    • Either way, just choose to exit the program at this point since we want to see only the scan results to begin with.
    • MBRCheck will create a log named similar to MBRCheck_07.16.10_00.32.33.txt which is random based on date and time.
    • Attach this log to your next message. (See: HOW TO: Attach Items To Your Post )

    Do you have your XP installation disc? If so, boot into the bios and change the boot order to CD/DVD as first boot device. Put in the disc and reboot. Go into the Recovery Console and type this:
    fixmbr

    Exit out and reboot to normal mode. Then re-run MBRCheck and attach the new log.

    If you don't have the disc, you can create a Recovery disc from here;
    This is a download of an .iso file of just the Recovery Console for XP.
    Burn to CD with Nero or other 'disc image' capable tool and boot.

    XP Recovery Console.

    You can use ImageBurn to create the disc.
