I have been reading some old posts about Google either redirecting search results or opening bogus result pages. It just started happening to me a couple of days ago, where the Google results only open up advertisers websites, and not the information I want. It looks as if the results links have nothing to do with the actual search result. Perhaps it's just the long-winded way of saying that I'm getting redirected too. It seems to be happening when I use Firefox, but not Safari. I've run spyware scans and I just removed "CoolWebSearch" using Stopzilla, but that did not fix my problem. I'm new at all this self-help stuff, so I was hoping that someone could help me figure out what I should do to correct the problem. All processes are now going extremely slow on my computer. I'd appreciate any feedback. I just learned about the HijackThis thing, so I am copying it here:

Thanks again for your time.

By the way, I tried a Google search and I'm still getting bogus links.

Alright, before we do anything else.

Can you pls run HJT and do a system scan only, and mark a check next to the following:

then, scan again and post back with a fresh log.

What should I do with the items I checked? There is no option to run the scan again until I take some sort of action on the checked items.

Yes Fix them... it will fix them... and then scan again.

HJT says it cannot delete the "01" items. It says to download something else, but I cannot recall what it is. Here is the latest HJT log:

HJT says it cannot delete the "01" items. It says to download something else, but I cannot recall what it is.

01??? do you mean 10???

Cohen

01??? do you mean 10???

Cohen

Yes....the ones you told me to do: O10

Also, HJT message said to use LSPfix......I downloaded that but it says "no problem found"

Thanks for the help by the way. I could not do this myself.

Alright, i'm not sure if they would cause any problems. I'll refer this to Crunchie and he might be able to post something.

Just better to be safe.

Cohen

Firstly, hijackthis will not fix those 010 entries, as you have found out :). LSPfix should always be used to remove malware entries.

Secondly, those 010 entries are legitimate. They belong to Stopzilla.

Alright, thanks for the confirmation there Crunchie.

Well, then, the log is clean for me :)

Thank you all. After all the scanning and such, I was successful in removing a couple dozen things that should not have been there. Sadly though, I am still stuck with the problem of Google returning bogus ad sites rather than the legitimate search results pages. At least I can use Google with Safari without the same problem. I'm stumped.

oh, still having problems, alright, let's try combo fix :)

Please download ComboFix by sUBs from HERE or HERE

  • You must download it to and run it from your Desktop
  • Physically disconnect from the internet.
  • Now STOP all your monitoring programs (Antivirus/Antispyware, Guards and Shields) as they could easily interfere with ComboFix.
  • Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • When finished, it will produce a log. Please save that log to post in your next reply along with a fresh HJT log

Note:
Do not mouse-click combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Thanks,

Cohen
