Thanks momok- I totally left out the Services as I wasn't sure which was going to be kept.
It appears that you have the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007. One of the features it has is called a "redirector". Many have disabled this as it has prevented the loading of sites. I wasn't able to find a description from McAfee of just what this Service does. It is possible this feature is causing whatever 'redirect' you're getting.
For whichever security program you do NOT want to keep, you will follow the same process:
1. Rerun HijackThis. Check the processes for the program you do NOT want> Close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.**Close HiJackThis*and*reboot into Safe More..
2. Stop the Services: Start> Run> type in services.msg> enter
3. Stop the startup entries> Start> Run> type in ''msconfig' without the quotes> Selective Start-up> Startup tab> uncheck the processes for this> Apply> OK.
4. Uninstall the program> Control Panel> Add/Remove Programs
I suggest you KEEP the McAfee Suite. You will have purchased this program and it has a multitude of entries running. You should Disable the Redirector Service however- just this one Service:
O23 - Service: McAfee Redirector Service (McRedirector) - McAfee, Inc. - c:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\mcafee\redirsvc\redirsvc.exe
To
REMOVE AVG and
KEEP McAfee Security Suite
1) Have HijackThis fix these:

O23 - Service: AVG Free8 WatchDog (avg8wd) - AVG Technologies CZ, s.r.o. - C:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\avgwdsvc.exe
Please also check the following for HijackThis to remove: (removing these entries is due to the high volume of Tracking Cookies they put out).
C:\WINDOWS\system32\IoctlSvc.exe
O2 - BHO: FlashFXP Helper for Internet Explorer - {E5A1691B-D188-4419-AD02-90002030B8EE} - C:\PROGRA~1\FlashFXP\IEFlash.dll
Close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.**Close HiJackThis*and*reboot into Safe More
2) Disable and Stop the Service:
AVG Free8 WatchDog (avg8wd)
3) Stop Startups:
AVG8_TRAY\AVG8\avgtray.exe
AVG Free8 WatchDog (avg8wd) -
4) Uninstall AVG 8
Reboot into Normal Mode. You will get a the nag message that you can close after checking 'don't show this message again'. Run HijackThis and post fresh log.
Please do NOT use System Restore. We will clean out the old restore points when through. You can reinfect the system is used.
IF you decide to keep AVG instead and remove the McAfee Security Suite, let me know and I'll list those process for you.
