You have a variant of the CoolWebSearch hijacker, for one thing. Download and run
CoolWebShredder 1.38.0 on this page: Spychecker.com/
Be sure to close all browser windows before running it. It may execute again after
rebooting. It would be good to keep it on hand. He updates it VERY frequently, so
check for an update often.
P.S. If you get a message saying 'A required dll, MSVBVM60.DLL, was not found', install
the VB 6 Runtime Libraries. Direct download: VB 6 Runtime Libraries
If you have NOT ran SpybotSD already, download and run it after running the Shredder:
Spybot S&D Close all running programs, install then
reboot. Start it and go online and press the 'search for updates' tab. Download all
updates that aren't optional.
Close all browser windows, then start it in Easy mode and run the scan. Then click
'Check All', and fix everything SpybotSD labels in red. Reboot.
Then if you feel it's necessary to run Hijack This again, PLEASE choose this Option
below the message window before posting the log, so it's formatted properly!: Check
this box to preserve your spacing....
