Hello every1,

I am having a MAJOR problem with my IE7 browser. It seems that every other page I try to visit using this browser, I get redirect to the ask.askredirect/search page. I don't know how did this BHO got installed on my machine (windows xp pro).

I tried to find this BHO on my list of programs in the uninstall thingy from the control panel. But, it's not there.

I use this browser out of need bcoz my employer's web apps only deal with IE.

I ran spybot and adaware but neither took care of the problem. I am attaching here the log from hijackthis.

I hope someone can spare sometime to help me here.

Thanks in advance.
