I appear to have the popular search redirection problem at the moment. Running XP Home edition, SP3. Followed all eight steps, no luck. I did, however, note that while running IE in safe mode with networking, the redirects did not appear to be happening. So, maybe whatever is doing the redirecting is not loaded in safe mode, I don't know.
Attached are the logs, I've gone through a couple of iterations of different scanners like Kaspersky, Malwarebytes, etc, prior to discovering this site and its eight steps. Previous scans had noted a few trojans which were cleaned and removed. Now, all of my scans come up clean (including AVG virus scans), but no dice - the search redirect is still going on. All I get now are tracking cookies, all of the scans are missing the "real" infection.
This all started a few days ago when my wife somehow downloaded Systemguard from a popup, I don't really even know how, she doesn't either. Scanning seemed to clean out Systemguard OK, and I thought everything was cool, until I started using a browser again, and noted the redirects. Don't know if there's a connection, but it would be a heck of a coincidence!
If it matters, the redirects are happening with IE, Firefox, and I even downloaded Chrome to see if that would work too. Getting the redirects with all of them. I have since uninstalled a ton of crap from my computer, trying to strip it bare (and back up stuff, in case I need to wipe and reinstall XP).
All help is appreciated, thanks!
