Hi everyone,
I am only new here, and quite looking forward to getting to meet with a lot of you. But right now, I have a very frustrating problem that has only started today. Every time I start my Firefox browser, it starts to open up multiple tabs by itself, linking to all these search sites that I have never heard of. This is very frustrating for me especially when I am half way through researching something and then get lost in the paragraph because Firefox takes over. I have ran Anti-Virus scans and Anti-Spyware programs to no avail, I have even ran these scans in safe mode and still no success. I also have an an enoying pest which calls itself Malware-Crush which sits itself in my task tray down on the bottom right of the screen, when i try to close it, it just basically laughs at me and stays put. I have tried every thing that i can think of and now I have come to you in the hopes that someone can help me solve this problem. I have included a Hijackthis log with this post. I have no idea what any of these processors mean as I am only a PHP Developer and don't know much about these malicious software processes, although i would love to learn for future refferrence. Any help with these issues will be much appreciated.
Please note my Hijackthis Log:
