looking at the other threads i downloaded and ran combofix and here is that log and the malware log too.
 
i did read the sticky about combofix. Now the search results seem to be working, but i would still greatly appreciate someone looking into the logs. Thank you.
 
Describe what's not working, and if you read the combofix topic, you would know NOT to have run it with out having someone advise you. Let me analyze your HijackThis logs, please be patient.
 
Here are the nasty files you should delete using HijackThis:
  • O2 - BHO: WormRadar.com IESiteBlocker.NavFilter - {3CA2F312-6F6E-4B53-A66E-4E65E497C8C0} - (no file)
    [*]O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)

Just curious as to how you came to the conclusion that O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [ctfmon.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe was a nasty file.

According to my research
Please note that C:\Windows\System32\ctfmon.exe is legitimate and should not be deleted.

Sorry. I deleted those files using the hijack this. Is there something else i need to do now? Run all them again? Thank you so much. I really appreciate it.

You may want to update to a more secure Hosts file
There's lots of important info on that here: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm
As it's difficult to see the actual download, here it is: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.zip
Important! Windows Vista requires special instructions: http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hostsvista.htm

Simply download the hosts.zip file, extract, then run mvps.bat, then restart

[Important Notice - 2K/XP/Vista Users]
In most cases a large HOSTS file (over 135 kb) tends to slow down the machine. This only occurs
in W2000 and XP. Windows 98 and Windows ME are not affected.

To resolve this issue (manually) open the "Services Editor"

Start | Run (type) "services.msc" (no quotes)
Scroll down to "DNS Client", Right-click and select: Properties
Click the drop-down arrow for "Startup type"
Select: Manual, click Apply/Ok and restart.

Then restart, and test browsing the Internet again :)
 
now when i click on a link it goes to the same page...

The HJT log is not complete, something went wrong? Note you are following what I ask, to restart, so forth?

Also, were all these disabled before running all of the above?
  • SpywareGuard
  • Spybot Search & Destroy
  • Windows Defender
As per the 8 Step Guide (Disable real time protection of other programs)
Personally I'd say uninstall those 3, as they haven't helped you anyway!
Actually you may as well uninstall SUPERAntispyware, whilst you are at it

I think after restart, you should startup Malwarebytes; update it again and run a quick scan
If anything is found, please remove it at the end of the scan (and also provide the log)
Then Restart (I know, but Windows requires a Restart all the time!)
Then run a fresh HJT Scan log, and provide the attachment again
 
Why can there be one program that scans and finds everything... why is there a dozen things you have to scan with?

So far the eset found 3: win32/bagle.gen.zip.worm
 
lol :)

Good point

If I made a Malware scanner, I'd be making one that does everything
It might take 4 hours to scan, but who cares !!!
