Google redirect + lockups, 8 Steps done

[bbenyo]

I've got the google search redirect issue, when I click on a link in google search results, I don't get the listed page, instead I'm redirected to a strange page.

When I'm in normal mode (not safe mode), the machine will lock up after it's been running for a while. It seems to run normally until then, and all of a sudden it becomes unresponsive. In safe mode, it doesn't lock up.

In order to run Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and Hijack This, I had to rename the downloaded .exe files. If I run the regular versions, a process will show up in the Task Manager, but nothing else. Seems like something is killing the window.

I have Norton AntiVirus, it found a bunch of instances of Trojan.Peacomm and W32.Mixor.Q@mm in old email attachments (I never opened them).

I ran Malwarebytes, SuperAntiSpyware, and HijackThis in Safe mode. Logs attached.

I also used msconfig to only Load System Services.

Thanks for any assistance!

Let's get rid of these Hijackthis entries:

03 - Toolbar: (no name) - {A057A204-BACC-4D26-9990-79A187E2698E} - (no file)
O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {7FEBEFE3-6B19-4349-98D2-FFB09D4B49CA} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {A057A204-BACC-4D26-9990-79A187E2698E} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: NCO 2.0 IE BHO - {602ADB0E-4AFF-4217-8AA1-95DAC4DFA408} - (no file)

Your computer lockups are most likely a hardware problem, not malware related... Memory, hard drive corruption or driver fault

Thanks for the response! I decided instead to use the Dell Restore to Factory Settings option to format the hard drive and start over. Realized I had all the CD/DVDs of things I'd need to reinstall, and the system could use a cleaning anyway.

Thanks though, I appreciate it.

Cool bbenyo,
I often prefer to do that too. Happy computing!
