    Hi, first time here and my searches on how to remove the abovementioned malware led me here. I've downloaded and ran the OTL.exe program and attached is the log. Sorry to drag up an old question as it seems many other users have already posted on this but any help is much appreciated.

    Thank you in advance!

    Double-click OTL.exe to run. (Vista/7 right-click and select Run as Administrator)
    Shut down your protection software now (antivirus, antispyware...etc) to avoid possible conflicts.
    Copy the text in the code box below and paste it into the http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/66/otlcustomfix.png text-field.

    If the fix needed a reboot please do it.
    Click the OK button (upon reboot).
    When OTL is finished, Notepad will open. Close Notepad.
    A log file will be located at C:\_OTL\MovedFiles\mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log, where mmddyyyy_hhmmss is the date of the tool run.
    Attach this log to your next message. (How to attach)

    Claro Search was most likely removed from FireFix and Internet Explorer, however, with Google Chrome, we got this message:

    Code:
    Use Chrome's Settings page to change the HomePage.
    Use Chrome's Settings page to change the HomePage.
    I assume OTL isn't capable of modifying Google Chrome's home page. You may need to manually reset or uninstall Google Chrome if iClaro is still appearing.
