EDITED by paws…..moved from Browsers…subforum

I've never done a forum queston…ever. Need Help. Recently loaded XP on my 11 year old Dell system…originally started with NT
Been running 2000 Pro for years.

IE8 Browser being hijacked…Have SpyBot, Super Anti Spyware, Malwarebytes, Avast, ZoneAlarm, ..just added Hijack This and XoftSpyXE and Spyware Blaster….also use Glary Utilities.

Loaded Hijack This after looking online for guidance.

Updated all and have run multiple scans….Then the Next Time I go online….it takes me to my home page, then randomly hijacks subsequent links or other sites I'm trying to go to.

Best I can tell , is that I'm supposed to post the Hijack This log….and Startup Log…so that any potential saints can give me a clue as to how to remove whatever is doing this to me.

As you can probably tell, I'm very close to being the Village Idiot about all this. Please help if you can, and if possible please send any info about it to my regular email "[removed]" because I'm not toooo certain I can find this location again.

Here are the Logs:

Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here or here.

Extract the contents of the zipped file to desktop.

If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan…click on NO.

[external image: Posted Image]
Click the image to enlarge it
In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Uncheck the following …
- IAT/EAT
- Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
- Show All (don't miss this one)
Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.
Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "Gmer.txt" or it will save as a .log file which cannot be uploaded to your post.
Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop, and attach it in your reply.
