    Browser Redirect need help(RESOLVED)

    Hi, i was asked by a friend to look at his machine a few weeks ago because everytime he clicks a link in Google it sends him off to other non relevant sites. I have thrown some software at it like spybot and A squared but havent been able to clear it. I have ran hijack this and this is the log file (if ive done it right). If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. Many thanks

    http://www.d-a-l.com/help/showthread.php?t=32403

    Flush your restore points in ME and XP, by turning System Restore off and then back on.
    This will create a fresh restore point.

    RegProtect

    This small registry protection tool will save you hours of heartache by notifying you when some program good or bad is trying to access your registry.

    You have the option of allowing(good) items or blocking(bad)items.


    http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=regprot


    To reduce the re-infection potential for malware and protect yourself against spyware, here are a few helpful suggestions:

    1. Keep Windows and Internet Explorer current with the latest critical security updates from Microsoft. This will patch many of the security holes through which attackers can gain access to your computer. You CANNOT complete this update using an alternate browser.
    http://v5.windowsupdate.microsoft.co....aspx?ln=en-us

    http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/default.asp


    2. Run your antivirus software regularly, and to keep its definitions up-to-date. If you are thinking about switching, there are a some good free Antivirus programs that are decent, including AVG and Avast!.
    AVG: http://free.grisoft.com/doc/1

    Avast: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.html


    3. In addtion to using Ad-aware consider using another free malware scanning/removal program:
    Windows Defender

    http://www.microsoft.com/athome/secu...e/default.mspx


    4. Consider using a free firewall if you are not already using one. Some good free ones are:
    Kerio

    Sunbelt

    Comodo Personal Firewall:

    Comodo





    5. Consider using an alternate free browser for general web surfing but you must use IE for windows update.
    Mozilla Firefox: www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/


    6. Consider increasing your browser security by using these programs:
    SpywareGuard will protect your homepage from being hijacked: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html
    SpywareBlaster will increase browser protection by blocking Thousands of known malware sites by adding them to IE's restricted sites zone. Download it here:

    http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html


    If you use SpywareBlaster, you can also use a customblocklist to add even more entries into IE restricted sites zone. Go to this site for the current list and how to use instructions: http://customblockinglist.cjb.net/


    IE-SPYAD is similar in that it adds thousands more known malware sites to IE's restricted zone. Download it here:
    https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm


    Block access to Untrustworthy Sites

    You can prevent your computer from visiting a myriad of untrustworthy sites and ad-servers by installing a customised hosts file. One of the best available is the: MVPS Hosts File. Simply follow the instructions to install the file in the correct location. This will not only make surfing safer but will improve website load times and block popups from many of the large ad-servers.



    *Remember just like your primary anti-virus software, it is important to keep all of these programs up-to-date and use them on a regular basis. It's Free


    And also see TonyKlein's good advice
    So how did I get infected in the first place? (My Favorite)
