Hello Everyone,
Recently I noticed my computer was acting a little strange. Whenever I use Internet Explorer and go to webpages, new IE windows will open on their own and they will be of sites I do not want them to go to. For example the sites are of pch.com, ManiaTV, and various pages for Windows Spyware Cleaners. It is getting frustrating. It always seems to be the same few pages loading whenever I go on the web. I tried running programs such as Spysweeper, AVG Antivirus, Ad-Aware, & Spybot S&D. All found items that needed cleaning but none seemed to solve my problem. So, I followed the steps as written in the "Viruses/Spyware/Malware, preliminary removal instructions" post. I ran HiJackthis, AVG Anti-Spyware, ComboFix, Vundofix, Look2me-destroyer, Smitfraudfix, Virtumundobegone, ccleaner, and AVG Anti-Rootkit beta (which found nothing). I followed each step one at a time and it took a while but I got the log files and I have attached them. So far I have been online and I haven't seen any new windows open yet. Hopefully the problem has been solved. Can someone please look at the log files and see if there is any other questionable items for my issue or other items which shouldn't be there and help me fix them. I would really appreciate it a lot. Thanks in advance!
