I keep getting redirected to goofy search engines and I have not been able to download spyware stuff properly. I have ran spyware and it has not fixed the problem: Here is the HIJACK THIS log file:

ANY HELP WOULD BE SO SO SO APPRECIATED>

I have ran spyware and it has not fixed the problem

There is no program called spyware. What program did you run?
You don't show an active anti-virus program on there. All you show is the installer for Norton. But the program is not installed.

I have zone alarm and I am running adaware now...it will not let me down load spybot.....

There is no program called spyware. What program did you run?
You don't show an active anti-virus program on there. All you show is the installer for Norton. But the program is not installed.

Zone Alarm is a firewall not an anti-virus program. What was the program you said you all ready ran?

I have Zone Alarm Antivirus and spyware. I also ran adaware....I tried spybot but it will not let it run....I AM AT A LOSS

Zone Alarm is a firewall not an anti-virus program. What was the program you said you all ready ran?

You may be using Zone Alarm Firewall and your log shows that it is there and running but no Zone Alarm anti-virus shows in your logs, anywhere. It only shows Zone Alarm Firewall.
If, as you say, you have Zone Alarm anti-virus then why are you trying to install Norton Anti-virus?

I am just trying to figure out what happened and what the virus is I have and get rid of it.....I have not tried downloaiding norton. I have Zone Alarm security suite.

Please are you able to help me?

Sorry, but Zone Alarm Security Suite doesn't show on your log, only the Zone Alarm Firewall. Maybe you installed the wrong program by mistake.

The Norton file, which is the installer for Norton 360 Security Suite is showing as a Running Process on your log
C:\Program Files\NortonInstaller{397E31AA-0D78-4649-A01C-339D73A2ED35}\NSS\LicenseType\2.3.0.44[B]InstStub.exe[/B]
and showing as an auto starting program,

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [NSS] "C:\Program Files\NortonInstaller\{397E31AA-0D78-4649-A01C-339D73A2ED35}\NSS\LicenseType\2.3.0.44\InstStub.exe" /RELAUNCH /RUNONCE /PRODID NSS

So you are going to have to go into the Task Manager and End the process. Highlight it and then Click End Process.

Also see if you can locate the Norton program on the computer. This shows that it probably is located in [B]C:\Program Files[/B] and would show as NortonInstaller...
If you find it see if you can delete it.

Then see if you can do the following:
Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your Desktop.

  • DoubleClick[B] mbam-setup.exe[/B] and follow the prompts to install MBA-M.
  • Be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected
  • When MBA-M finishes, Notepad will open with the log. Please save it where you can find it easily. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt.
