Hello to all,
I've been working with Bobbye on the Virus side of this issue, and he says my problem is unique and to post over on this thread. Hopefully someone can help. I am running Windows XP Pro, and have all the latest updates and versions installed, (except for the .Net update installation problem that I notice alot of others are experiencing). Here's the issue; when I type a word or phrase into the Google or Yahoo search bar and hit enter or click search, nothing happens. The tab on the webpage I'm currently on will say "Loading" and the little "circle" on the tab will be spinning like it does when it's trying to load. I've run the 8 step process and gotten rid of alot of malware and trojans, all to no avail. This problem is the same in Firefox, IE, and Chrome. I have Firefox 3.5 and IE8, and just installed Chrome this morning to see if that changed anything. I also uninstalled Firefox and the Google toolbar and re-installed. I uninstalled IE 8 and re-installed. I've been running scans and cleaning all found objects. I ran ComboFix 2 if not 3 times. I've made sure there's not anything running in the background that doesn't need to be. I have another search engine called "GoodSearch" which is actually powered by Yahoo, and that one works fine. The funny thing is, if I type the complete web address of the page I want to view in the top address bar, it will take me right there, in all 3 browsers. I can navigate to a web page if it's in my bookmarks or from a link, but I just can't "Google" anything. Google, Yahoo, Bing, it's all the same problem with them.
