Google Search Result Redirect

Help me please :( I am at an absolute loss, for some reason, whenever I search using google, and I click the link of a result, I find myself being redirected to a random site using a "jump" tag in the tab listing. If you backtrack to the google search page where the results were listed and click the link again, once again you are redirected. On the third try, it will work the way it's supposed to and direct you to the desired page. However, this is only with the main google search feature, I never receive a redirect with an image search. Help me please!

I forgot to mention, I've scanned using Norton multiple times and it comes up that my PC is error free and clean as a whistle. Clearly, this is not the case though.

Not related to this but, why is important to have HijachThis in its own folder?

Cheers,
Dian
 
So it can make backups and run properly!

I have not done anything with this problem since April but am going to get it fixed now. Along with the google redirect problem, I can not get adaware to update, it does run though. The latest problem is that I can not get onto any gc.ca web sites such as No web sites with the gc.ca ending will work.
Here is the latest hi-jack this log:

Check these and click fix checked and then follow the rest of what pechenegs suggested.

There is a point in wisdom and knowledge that when you reach it, you exceed what is considered possible - Jason Schoon
 
OK I fixed the ones you said to fix and did the rest of the suggestions (at least the ones that it would let me).
I installed the Comodo firewall. I ran the fixwareout but nothing happened, except that it wants to reboot so I let it, when it came back up..... nothing, so I tried again, same thing nothing. Also Hijackthis did not launch upon reboot. I can manually get it to launch, but according to the instructions it should have launched and I was to shut it down, that didn't happen.
So no log from fixaware.
ipcongig did not work either. I keep getting
" 'ipconfig' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. Incidently the same thing has happened with other dos commands like 'ping'. They don't work.

I ran AVG for about 2 hours and it removed a lot, when I went to the log tab nothing was there?!?!?

This is my latest hijackthis log:

check this item on hijackthis and click fix checked.



Put in your system cd, then go to command prompt and type sfc/scannow

Also download this and use it to repair winsock as I have a feeling its been damaged.

Go to start, run, then type msconfig and type out all checked items on here.

There is a point in wisdom and knowledge that when you reach it, you exceed what is considered possible - Jason Schoon
 
Ok I got rid of the O17.

I am leary of running this Win Sock Xp fix.

From others :

Be aware of side effects: netsh winsock reset catalog This command resets the Winsock catalog to the default configuration. This can be useful if a malformed LSP is installed that results in loss of network connectivity. While use of this command can restore network connectivity, it should be used with care because any previously-installed LSPs will need to be re-installed. This means Antivirus software, firewalls, VPN clients etc

It messed up my VPN connection and wireless connection. I am all hosed up now. I am repenting using this.

I was helping a friend with a connectivity issue. I found this file and ran it on my good computer (no network problems) and it stopped Outlook Express from accessing my POP3 accounts. After using System Restore everything back to normal. Running Windows XP Svc Pk 2 and Outlook Express 6.00.2900.2180. Just a warning.


Are you sure I should run this?

Also what is my "system CD"?
 
system cd is your windows xp cd. sfc is system file checker.

Ive used winsock fix many of times and ive never had a problem with it. Your the first person ive ever seen that had one.

There is a point in wisdom and knowledge that when you reach it, you exceed what is considered possible - Jason Schoon
 
I ran it and it didn't seem to do anything bad, nor good.

I put the system cd in and went to the command prompt and same thing it does not recognize 'sfc'

GRRRRRRRR
 
post a fresh hijack this log and i'll check it!

Please download
SmitfraudFix
(by S!Ri)
Extract the content (a folder named SmitfraudFix) to your Desktop.



You should print out these instructions, or copy them to a NotePad file for
reading while in Safe Mode, because you will not be able to connect to the
Internet to read from this site.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following
:
  • Restart your computer
  • After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the
    Windows icon appears, tap the F8 key continually;
  • Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu with options should appear;
  • Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode, then press "Enter".
  • Choose your usual account.
Once in Safe Mode, open the SmitfraudFix folder again and
double-click smitfraudfix.cmd
Select option #2 - Clean by typing 2 and press "Enter"
to delete infected files.

You will be prompted: "Registry cleaning - Do you want to clean the
registry?"; answer "Yes" by typing Y and press "Enter" in order to
remove the Desktop background and clean registry keys associated with the
infection.

The tool will now check if wininet.dll is infected. You may be
prompted to replace the infected file (if found); answer "Yes" by typing
Y and press "Enter".

The tool may need to restart your computer to finish the cleaning process;
if it doesn't, please restart it into Normal Windows.

A text file will appear onscreen, with results from the cleaning process;
please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

The report can also be found at the root of the system drive, usually at
C:\rapport.txt

Warning: running option #2 on a non infected computer
will remove your Desktop background
.






Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:




Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, then make sure
"Run fixit" is checked and click Finish. The fix will begin; follow the
prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your
system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

When your system reboots, follow the prompts. Afterwards, Hijack This will
launch. Close Hijack This, and click OK to proceed.

At the end of the fix, you may need to restart your computer again.

At the end of the fix, you may need to restart your computer again.

I am getting nowhere FAST !

I downloaded Smifraudfix and tried running it. All I get is a very quick DOS window flash.

Downloaded fixwareout and ran it. It asked me to reboot and I did when it came back up, a window poped up saying "beginning fix click ok to start" So I did and it just continued to reboot.
There were no prompts and hijack this did not launch.

Next I went into cmd in DOS and typed in ipconfig /flushdns and again as with most DOS prompts it said ipconfig is not recognized. Saame thing happens with "Ping". They have worked in the past but not since I have got this problem.

Next I downloaded startdreck and tried to run it.
Got the message "This application failed to srat because VB40032.dll was not found. re-installing the appliaction may fix this problem"

Some other things to note.

System restore does not work and hasn't for even longer than this problem has occurred.
Many DOS prompts are not recognized.
I seem to loose conectivity A LOT.
Adaware will not update, gets to 5% and says an error has occured.
Not to mention why I started this thread was to fix the google redirect !
 
you might be better reformatting if you have a restore disk or the Xp dosc as you'll get your computer back?
