Hello I've completed all the steps on the first page but I'm still having trouble with some sort of a browser hijack or something. Here's a Hijackthis log! Thank you!

 

Welcome to MajorGeeks.com, please follow the steps below:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

• Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifAfter doing ALL of the above and you still have a problem, make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below thread to properly use HijackThis and attach the log:

Hello I ran the tutorial steps and I'm pretty sure I'm infected with VX2. Ad-aware...half of the time says it's there, but can't delete it, and the ad-on feature tells me my system is clean. Here's a hjs log after adaware, s&d, and microsoft anti spyware scans.

 

Fisrt, download Nail/Bolder/Aurora Remover 0.3.3 Beta and save it to its own folder like c:\ABIremover

- Now extract the abiremover.exe file from the ZIP file into the folder you created but do not run the EXE yet.

- Reboot into Safe Mode with no network suppost and do not run anything else but what I tell you to run!

- Run the ABIRemover.exe, press install, wait (explorer window will disappear)

- When it finishes just reboot and continue with the below steps.

Please download HOSTER and then follow the below steps.

• Unzip HOSTER to a convenient folder such as C:\Hoster

• Run Hoster.exe, click Restore Original Hosts and then click OK.

• Click the X to exit the program.

After you complete ALL of the above, reboot and attach a fresh HJT log.

 

Here's that fresh hjt log.

 

Download this trial version of Ewido Security Suite

• Install ewido security suite
• Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
• The program will have a window come up. One of the buttons on the left is to Update. Click the Update button.and then Start the Update. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
• After it completes the update, click the Scanner button

Now exit Ewido. Now print the below instructions or save them locally because I want you do have no browsers opened and also have no connection to the internet (unplug your cable) while doing the below.

Okay, reboot into safe mode and follow the steps below. (If you have any problems at all trying to get into safe mode to complete these steps, just run them in normal boot mode and make sure you tell me when you come back.)

Open up Ewido and do the following:

• Click on Scanner
• Then click Settings
• Under What to Scan? Select Scan every file
• Then click OK
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will start.
• Let the program scan the machine

While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files that are infected. Leave the defaults selections (to Remove and backup) and click OK. To save yourself some time, you can select Perform action with all infections and then click OK. With the option to scan every file, a lot of cookies will be removed.

Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report

• Click Save report
• Save the report to your desktop or anyplace you will be able to find it to upload here.

Reboot into normal mode and reconnect to the internet.

Come back here and post the Ewido Scan Report along with a fresh HJT log.

 

Here's the hts log file.

I saved the Ewido scan...but can't find it on the desktop or anywhere else. It only came up with cookies...which were all deleted. I'm pretty sure it didn't find anything. If you absolutely are sure that I'm mistaken...then I guess I'll scan again and figure out where the scan log is...
