Hi I'm new to this site and Im having a big problem with some malware. My googles search results are being redirected to random site it seems whenever I click a search result. This happens on google and yahoo and both on IE and firefox. I use firefox regularly. Some sites it redirects to is primosearch, crackle, in one instance it redirected me to a youtube video of howie mandel, its really random. Another effect is that anything I download from the internet becomes incomplete even though it says its done. For example if I download a 3MB music file it will download about 90KBs and say its done when it clearly is not. This happens with any download I do with the browser. It also blocks many sites such as anti-slyware and antivirus sites. It also will not let me update any of the anti-spyware or anti-virus software I have. I have symentic anti-virus. I have ran scans using symentic, malware bytes, register booster, super anti spyware and have cleaned out as much as I can but still have this problem.
I also receive an error from the generic host process for win 32 when I start up my computer. Occasionally I also receive errors saying the WMI has failed and needs to be closed as well.
I've done all that I can on the pre-post instructions. Combo fix will not work. All it keeps saying everytime I run it is that rootkit is detected and it has to reboot and it doesn't scan or anything. so I don't have that file. The other program you suggested seems to have some detrimental effects to computers so I am reluctant to download that.
Here is my hijack this log and malware bytes log.
