    Hello. Earlier today I had 100's of critical hard disk errros pop up on my desktop, needless to say, I nearly had heart failure after that. Turned out to be this crap I don't know where it came from, but malware bytes got rid of it. After getting rid of that, all my browsers were randomly redirecting to dodgy sites after clicking a google search result link. After flushing the DNS cache it hasn't happened again, touch wood. AVG popped up a little while ago just after I started firefox and said something along the lines of Threat Blocked.. blackhole rootkit something like that, it disappeared before I had a chance to read it all. A friend of mine advised me to remove AVG and install ESET Smart Security wich I did. ESET found a 5 infections, cleaned 1, but could not clean the other 4, those are...

    Win32/Olmarik.TDL4 Trojan (operating memory)
    Win32/Olmasco.X Trojan (listed 3 times)

    It's been a long day and I don't know what to do now. Last thing I've done is the MBR check, log and virus screens atttached. I also has a BSOD, but I think that may have been my fault for trying to do multiple things at once, not sure.

    Help would be appreciated.

    Cheers - Nafe.

    Update..

    Ran over a few things in this thread again with the help of a friend and I'm pretty sure the problem is solved.

    No redirects or crashes for a good few hours now, also scanned 3 times since with ESET to be sure, no threats found, laptop also seems allot quicker :)

    If I encounter anymore issues I'll post back, but this thread can be locked now.

    Cheers - Nafe
