My Home page is redirected to another page so I ran HijackThis and the results are shown below.
What should I remove to rid my PC of this.

Thanks!

Hi and welcome to TSG,

Download and install AVG Anti-Spyware v7.5

• After download, double click on the file to launch the install process.
• Choose a language, click "OK" and then click "Next".
• Read the "License Agreement" and click "I Agree".
• Accept default installation path: C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5, click "Next", then click "Install".
• After setup completes, click "Finish" to start the program automatically or launch AVG Anti-Spyware by double-clicking its icon on your desktop or in the system tray.
• The main "Status" menu will appear. Select "Change state" to inactivate 'Resident Shield' and 'Automatic Updates'. As AVG Anti-Spyware may interfere with some of our other fixes, we are temporarily disabling its active protection features until your system is clean, then you can re-enable them.
• Then right click on AVG Anti-Spyware in the system tray and uncheck "Start with Windows".
• Connect to the Internet, go back to AVG Anti-Spyware, select the "Update" button and click "Start update".
  Wait until you see the "Update successful" message. If you are having problems with the updater, manually download and update with the AVG Anti-Spyware Full database installer.
• Exit AVG Anti-Spyware when done - DO NOT perform a scan yet.

Reboot your computer in SAFE MODE using the F8 method. To do this, restart your computer and after hearing your computer beep once during startup (but before the Windows icon appears) press the F8 key repeatedly. A menu will appear with several options. Use the arrow keys to navigate and select the option to run Windows in "Safe Mode". (Note: When run in safe mode, sometimes the GUI is larger than the screen and the buttons at the bottom are partly or completely hidden, making them inaccessible for doing a scan. If this happens press Alt + Spacebar. A menu will come open, make sure you select maximize then run the scan. If that does not help, then you may have to run your scan in normal mode and advise your helper afterwards.)

Scan with AVG Anti-Spyware as follows:

• Click on the "Scanner" button and choose the "Settings" tab.
  
• Under "How to act?", click on "Recommended actions" and choose "Quarantine" to set default action for detected malware.
• Under "How to Scan? ", "Possibly unwanted software", and What to Scan?" leave all the default settings.
• Under "Reports" select "Do not automatically generate reports".
• Click the "Scan" tab to return to scanning options.
• Click "Complete System Scan" to start.
• When the scan has finished, it should automatically be set to Quarantine--if not click on Recommended Action and set it there.
• You will also be presented with a list of infected objects found. Click "Apply all actions" to place the files in Quarantine.

IMPORTANT! Do not save the report before you have clicked the :Apply all actions button. If you do, the log that is created will indicate "No action taken", making it more difficult to interpret the report. So be sure you save it only AFTER clicking the "Apply all actions" button.

• Click on "Save Report" to view all completed scans. Click on the most recent scan you just performed and select "Save report as" - the default file name will be in date/time format as follows: Report-Scan-20060620-142816.txt. Save to your desktop. A copy of each report will also be saved in C:\Program Files\Grisoft\AVG Anti-Spyware 7.5\Reports\
• Exit AVG Anti-Spyware when done, reboot normally and post the log report in your next response.

Note: Close all open windows, programs, and DO NOT USE the computer while AVG Anti-Spyware is scanning. Doing so can hamper AVG Anti-Spyware's ability to clean properly and may result in reinfection.

AVG Anti-Spyware is free for 30 days and all the extensions of the full version will be activated. After the 30 day trial, active protection extensions will be deactivated and the program will turn into a feature-limited freeware version that you can continue to use as an on-demand scanner or you may purchase a license to use the full version. We are installing AVG Anti-Spyware with its real-time protection disabled. Once your system is clean you may re-enable it so you can continue using this feature for the remainder of the trial period.


Please go HERE to run Panda's ActiveScan

• You need to use IE to run this scan
• Once you are on the Panda site click the Scan your PC button
• A new window will open...click the Check Now button
• Enter your Country
• Enter your State/Province
• Enter your e-mail address and click send
• Select either Home User or Company
• Click the big Scan Now button
• If it wants to install an ActiveX component allow it
• It will start downloading the files it requires for the scan (Note: It may take a couple of minutes)
• When download is complete, click on My Computer to start the scan
• When the scan completes, if anything malicious is detected, click the See Report button, then Save Report and save it to a convenient location. Post the contents of the ActiveScan report

Come back here and post a new HijackThis log along with the logs from the AVG and Panda scans.

Hi Cookiegal,
Thanks for your reply!
Once I download AVG anti-spyware v7.5 in the first step and try to open, on screen display states connetion to service failed, please reinstall Avg...

I am also getting a blue screen error (fatal) when I have more than a few apps running at a time - should I work on that problem first?

Do you mean when you're trying to update the program?

Blue Screen Issue happens inadvertentlyly and not just when I am trying to update AVG software.

[Cookiegal]

[rickyo]

Download WinPFind3U.exe to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named WinPFind3u on your desktop.

Open the WinPFind3u folder and double-click on WinPFind3U.exe to start the program.

• In the Processes group click ALL
• In the Win32 Services group click ALL
• In the Driver Services group click ALL
• In the Registry group click ALL
• In the Files Created Within group click 60 days Make sure Non-Microsoft only is UNCHECKED
• In the Files Modified Within group select 30 days Make sure Non-Microsoft only is UNCHECKED
• In the File String Search group select ALL
• in the Additional Scans sections please press select ALL
• Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
• The program will be scanning huge amounts of data so depending on your system it could take a long time to complete. Let it run unhindered until it finishes.
• When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
• Save that notepad file but click on the "Format" menu and make sure that "word wrap" is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.

Please post the resulting log here as an attachment.
