Hyperlinking/redirecting virus...ughh!

I'm baaaack:cry. The problem I had before and that you all so kindly helped me with is back: On my home page in Google or Ustart hyperlinking apears all over and if I pass over one it shows a link to an ad site. I've also noticed that I'll get random live ads while using projectfreetv (after I've navigated all the initial ad minefield). The hyperlinking appears on most every internet page I visit. It's impossible to move the cursor without triggering one.

I'm using Windows 8, Chrome.

I've gone through the whole Malware protocol and so will attach all logs. I remembered afterward that what had finally worked the last time was uninstalling my Avira (because it had been hijacked by the virus) and Chrome, completing all the malware steps, then reinstalling. So I did that, but this time it didn't work.

I think the virus came in with a bogus Java update. The last thing I remember before noticing the virus was back was a Java update, then, oddly, another a short while later.

I also tried folowing the search engine redirect protocol but had trouble because I need specific Windows 8 instructions.

Oh yes, I also have shadow copies of files all over the place.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.

Sorry about that. Here they are.

Thanks for your time.

I think I screwed up at that point and unzipped the log into a folder. I just rezipped it but there might be other logs in there as well.:-o

Thanks.

Tim,

Thanks. No, I only seem to have the problem in Chrome for the time being. The first time I had this virus deleting Chrome and reinstalling it (along with Avira which had also been corrupted) did the trick. This time around it didn't. I have been using Chrome for a couple of years, since I read that it is more secure than Firefox, and better for banking, etc.

Thanks.

Thaaaaaaaaank you, Tim!! That seems to have worked. I forgot to reboot after doing it the first time and the malware was still there after reinstalling Chrome. Then I repeated with the reboot and voila!

Thank you so much again.

Would you mind telling me what you think is the best browser to use? Considering the trouble I've had with Chrome maybe I should use another. Which is the most secure?

Thanks, Tim. I really appreciate your help and your time.

Julie:wave

 

Tim,

Well I spoke too soon. The malware reappeared after using the browser a bit (on my usual sites - NYTimes, Coursera). I just went through your last instructions again but added deleting Avira and then reinstalling it after reinstalling Chrome. I'll let you klnow.

Thank you so much again.

Tim,

I still have it. Ughh!

Tim,

Thanks. Here they are.

Tim,

Thanks, I will do that, but what is a "download helper"?
