    Something had taken over my Internet Explorer.

    These are the symptoms:
    - When I search using Google I get redirected to other sites, mostly REDZIP, UPSPIRAL, STOPZILLA and EBAY. I don’t have a visible Upspiral toolbar.
    - In many web pages, the top, right corner of my web page curls down to reveal a search engine. This only happens when my security level not set to high.

    I’ve tried the following remedies while in Safe Mode, using updated definitions, while disconected from the net:
    Ad-Aware SE Personal
    AVG Free Antivirus
    CounterSpy
    CWShredder
    RegCleaner
    CCleaner
    SpybotSD
    HijackThis

    And still it remains!

    I'm using Interner Explorer 6.0.

    Any help you can give me will be appreciated!

    Thanks!

    You need to follow the directions I gave you completely. This means run ALL step in the READ & RUN ME (in the order given). Then attach the two logs requested in step 6 and after attaching these two logs, you must attach a HijackThis log as per the directions in step 7.

    If you do not follow the directions given, we cannot help you.
