Google redirecting links help please

Google and yahoo on both internet explorer and firefox are redirecting my links. No virus scan or spyware scans detect anything. Occasionally, AVG will say they detect a threat but they cannot heal them or remove them. Please help me.

Follow these instructions very carefully:
8-Step Virus & Malware Removal

Completed 8 steps, here are the attachments...

The three logs are attached. Please help! thanks

How is your computer running after the 8 steps?

Some suspicious things in the hijackthis log, but depending on the redirecting, they may be okay:
"R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = *.local"
"O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no file)"
"O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)"

You need IE8 for this scan. Use Windows Update to get IE8 and any other Windows Updates that might be there:
ESET Online Scanner

Run the scan and report any findings

still redirects

After I completed the 8 steps, it still redirects. What should I do about those files you mentioned? Here is the ESET scanner log attached. And after this it still is redirecting.

eset scanner log

I forgot to attach this in the last reply.

Go ahead and delete the hijackthis lines I posted... I know the (no file) entries are not going to affect the redirect, but the .local line might affect the redirect. If you still suffer with the redirect, we will have to take a more aggressive cleaning approach

So a more aggressive cleaning approach is headed your way

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1
Link 2


* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

• Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
  
  
• Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  
  
• As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  
  
• Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:




Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt log in your next reply.

Here is the combo fix log

Here it is. Thanks for all your help.

Are you running good now?

go to start and then run and type cmd

cd\
c:\mbr.exe -t
c:\mbr.log

A log file (c:\mbr.log) will open. Post the contents of it to your reply

seems to be working

Everything seems to be back to normal and the redirecting appears to have stopped. Should I still post that log? Also, is it necessary to keep this Superantispyware? I had ad-aware already and have always used lavasoft. Just want to know if that's ok to use in your guys opinion? Also, should I continue to use AVG or is there something better out there for free you can recommend? My last question is regarding firewalls (I don't really know anything about them). Should I use one of the free ones offered online or does the windows firewall work good enough by itself? Thank you guys so much for your help. I really appreciate this.

Adaware is outdated and obsolete now... delete superantispyware and try Advanced SystemCare free, CCleaner and switch to free Avast or Advir for your antivirus software. Keep up with the Windows Updates and run your antispyware/antimalware software often, to control those nasty cookies

OK thank you for the advice. My only other question is about the redirecting problem I had. Was that a big deal? It seems as if it is not an uncommon problem based on all the forums and discussions I stumbled upon online. Could anything have been compromised on my computer or could have been viewed by anyone else?

post the log I asked for

Stealth MBR rootkit/Mebroot/Sinowal detector 0.3.7 by Gmer, http://www.gmer.net

device: opened successfully
user: MBR read successfully
called modules: ntkrnlpa.exe CLASSPNP.SYS disk.sys ACPI.sys hal.dll iaStor.sys
kernel: MBR read successfully
user & kernel MBR OK

Good, no more modified hooks present.

Post a fresh HijackThis log.

Here is the new hjt log. Also, can someone address my question from a couple posts above regarding whether or not the redirecting was serious or not and if it compromised anything on my computer. Thanks!
