IE issues with google

[M8KWR]

This is a wierd issue, Google is my home page and when i do a search it is not searching like I am used to for example if i do a search for "Ebay". The address changes to "

http://61.131.54.618.cc/search.php?q=ebay&aid=A0006"

And the first web site I can click on is "Bidnapper.com, the eBay Auction Sniper".

But if i do the same search on another pc then "Ebay.com" is the first website to pick, which is what i am used to. And the address bar changes to "

http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=ebay&meta="

I have cleared my history, old internet files, and cookies to try and get google back to how it was.

By looking at the address bars difference their seems to be an issue, I have spyware and an antivirus program running.

If I also move on a page, then go back to page 1 of my search it then changes back to what i am used to, and the page that it brought up in the first place goes, and is not displayed as page 1 anymore.

Please help...

You have been hijacked.

See faq608-4650

As a first step, download, update and do a scan with the new Microsoft Antispyware Beta tool:

i have had this program running since it was released, and i think this has happened after installing this.

I have re-run the program and updated it, and run Spybot S&D also, and run AVG complete scan, it found some stuff, but restarted and then issue is still there.

Any other suggestions.

Look in your HOSTS file using notepad. It is found in %windir%\system32\drivers\etc

You want to remove any reference to Google.

The file had no reference to Google.

I have run Spybot and it found a DSO Exploit, which everytime i run this it is still there. The microsoft Antispyware does not find anything...
