    Hello....let me preface this by saying I'm pretty new to all this but yes I have went through the step by step instructions on what to do first. I have ran all the suggested spyware/malware devices (for some reason pandaactive scan would not work when I chose my computer) but everything else has been done. I recently got SpyAxe on my system and using your awesome site and tools removed it...but now I have an even more annoying thing going on where constantly internet explorer opens with a link to some annoying site...it goes to several different ones and it drives me nuts. Probably every 5 minutes or so this happens.

    Here's my HJT log:

    • Edit by bjgarrick: Unrequested, Inline HJT log removed!

    Ok sorry I did cut and paste...here's Bitdefender and HJT:

    I tried Panda ActiveScan but when I got to the part where I choose what to scan it wouldn't start

    Download L2MeFix Tool and save it where you will be able to find it.

    Please print out these instructions now or save locally so that you can operate with All Browser Windows CLOSED.

    Exit Browsers now before continuing

    Please move the L2MeFix Tool to your Desktop and DoubleClick l2mfix.exe. Click the Install button to extract the files and follow the prompts, then open the newly added l2mfix Folder on your Desktop. DoubleClick l2mfix.bat and Type 1 and ENTER to select Option #1 for Run Find Log . Allow it as much time as it needs to run until NotePad opens with a log. Save this log. You will need to post this log back here later when you come back.
    Next DoubleClick l2mfix.bat and type 2 and ENTER to select option #2 for Run Fix. Then, press any key to Reboot your machine.

    Your computer will go crazy for a bit, but just let it run. It should eventually spit out a log in Notepad. Please also attach this log to your next message.

    Now open your browser and come back here and post the above two logs as attachments to your message. Also indicate your current status.


    NOTE: Please do not run any other options or files in the l2mfix Folder!
