    I have followed all of your guidlines for the removal of malware "azesearch" it all proved to be sucssefull. I have attached to Hijack this log for your appraisal.
    Will all of these actions also apply to another user on my laptop as their browser was hijacked at the same time I got the azesearch.
    thanks

    Welcome to MGs!

    You have not completed all the steps in the READ & RUN ME.

    I see no evidence of Microsoft Windows Defender being installed and run.
    Also step 6 has not been completed.

    Steps 0 thru 6 must be completed before doing step 7 (HJT log posting).

    You also need to uninstall the below:
    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [warez] "C:\Program Files\Warez P2P Client\warez.exe" -h

    Hi Thanks for your swift response.
    You are right I could not run windows defender when I first tried and then forgot to try again I am now running.
    Im sure I did both step six scans online but not in safe mode will try again in safe mode when scan finishes.
    I have found this O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [warez] "C:\Program Files\Warez P2P Client\warez.exe" -h in program files but not in remove uninstall / control panel. the uninstall seems to be missing in program files.

    According to your HijackThis log the BitDefender and PandaActive online scans have not been run. Please run them and attach the logs as requested in step 6.
