    I have used the tools from chaslang and I don't know how to proceed.
    I have included the files as requested in his post can someone tell me
    what else I can do. This really annoying.

    ComboFix is apparently broken so I couldn't use it.

    This gets even more interesting... I have used all the tricks including
    kittyfix.exe and now my searches are still redirected, but the resulting tab
    (site) is blank. The site that was being switched to is now blank .. go figure.
    I can see the correct site flash by in the address field, but it is very quickly
    blanked. Each time i try a search result i get a blank tab. Any help
    would be appreciated.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Did you knowingly install the below browser helper object (BHO)?
    O2 - BHO: DeskshopBrowserHelper Class - {8DB3D69D-DA5E-4165-B781-72A761790672} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\BhoDshop.dll


    Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.


    Now let's run the below to check for a rootkit.
    • Go to TDSSKiller and Download TDSSKiller.zip to your Desktop
    • Extract its contents to your Desktop so that you have TDSSKiller.exe directly on your Desktop and not in any subfolder of the Desktop.
    • Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bold command into Run box and hit Enter.
    "%userprofile%\Desktop\TDSSKiller.exe" -l C:\TDSSKiller.txt -v
    • Follow the instructions to type in "delete" when it asks you what to do when if finds something.
    • When done, a log file should be created on your C: drive called "TDSSKiller.txt" please attach this log to your next reply.
    • Reboot after running the TDSSKiller program
    Now run Ccleaner. Only use the Run Cleaner button. Do not run anything else on any other forms.

    Now download the current version of MGtools and save it to your root folder. Overwrite your previous MGtools.exe file with this one.

    Run MGtools.exe ( Note: If using Vista make sure UAC is still disabled. Also don't double click on it, use right click and select Run As Administrator )


    Now attach the below log:
    • the full log from TDSSKiller
    • C:\MGlogs.zip
    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    Thanks for the reply, but it was easier and safer for me to just reinstall my
    XP system. All is well and good now.
