[Active] Browser hijacked amungst other things.
It all started when I was browsing and must of clicked on some wrong link and my avast went crazy telling me of viruses and malware and so forth and froze the computer. I was forced to reboot the computer and I was infected with RootKit Trojan. Avast seemed to do nothing to the Win32:RootKit Trojan. I did a ton of Boot Scans that didn't seem to do anything. I still got warning from avast of this Trojan. I came on here and signed up and followed all the instructions in the intro post.
I ran Spybot S & D and got rid of a ton of files before rebooting and after rebooting. It seemed to get rid of everything, nothing was left behind that it found. I then ran Avast Boot scanner and it finally seemed to have gotten rid of 4 RootKit files. It seemed all better except when I restarted the computer it gives me this message. Something like "There was an error and seekapp132.exe has to terminate." I have no idea what that program is.
The CD drives and my secondary G:hard drive all seem to be working fine again, as they didn't work before I ran Spybot. Then when I go on the internet in both Explorer and Firefox, I search for something in google and it redirects me to an ad page instead of the intended link. SeekZilla seemed to pop up the most amongst other ads.
Then I went and downloaded Hijack this to follow that step and I get this exact message.:
"The application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this."
It didn't even seem to install at all because it's not in the add or remove list. But it is in the program list and under the Program Files folder all there is is Hijackthis.exe file at 387.kb .I'm not sure what to do at this point. I would much appreciate some help in this matter. It's been a rough few days.

Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.
**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**
- Please, never rename Combofix unless instructed.
- Close any open browsers.
- Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
- Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
- Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
- Close any open browsers.
- WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
- Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
- If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
- Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
- When finished, it will produce a report for you.
- Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" along with a new HijackThis log for further review.
**Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**
Make sure, you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix.
