I have the same problem everyone else is havnig. It started with fake security alerts, progressed to google, then yahoo search redirects (almost always to triplexfeed.com), and now computer is super-slow.
Does this thing have a name yet? I asked Spybot about it and they didn't seem to know.
Have you all come upon one method that works for most people that you could post like you did the 8 steps?
I've updated Windows, Java, Flash, Adobe and some other things as others recommended. I've run AVG, Spybot, some others, and the three you include in 8 Steps, a couple of them several times. Almost all found some problems, fixed them, but nothing has fixed the redirect problem.
Now the computer is super-slow and I'm not sure what the heck is running at any one time.
I haven't run Combofix or the something-flush, as I know nothing about computers and need virtual hand-holding for this. (I'm a computer-fixing virgin so you really have to explain things as basically and completely as possible.)
Thanks in advance . I've attached the three logs you need--hope I did them right. Let me know what else you need.
