Post #1
For the past week while running a google search I have been redirected to random shopping and search sites or get google results that don't relate to what I was searching for or an error page that says "404 not found" with the letters " ngnix" underneath, or every site I go to has a certificate error. I have run scans with symantec which came up with nothing and the Malicious software removal tool that didn't find anything either. The computer has also been getting slower and slower. I downloaded and ran a scan with HijackThis according to your instructions, here is the log:
