i have used every tool i could find such as mbam, eset online, mse, combofix, trend, norton power eraser, hijackthis, bitdefender, JRT, adwcleaner, hitman Pro, and the list goes on and on.
but nothing will remove the browser hijack/redirect in IE11 on windows 7 Pro.
if i open IE11 with safe or with no addins i do not see the hijack. Should this give me a clue on changing a registry item? Im not sure. I am an IT guy and im suprised at how difficult this is to remove.
curie, do you have a solution that actually works?
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool and save it to your DESKTOP
Note: You need to run the version compatible with your system. If you are not sure which version applies to your system download both of them and try to run them. Only one of them will run on your system, that will be the right version.
How to determine whether a computer is running a 32-bit version or 64-bit version of the Windows operating system
A simple way to check your system: Start –> Computer (right click) –> Properties
[external image: FRST_zps5d956a1a.jpg]
Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
Just keep the defaults as in the picture checkmarked
Press Scan button.
It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
Please copy and paste log back here.
The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe/FRST64.exe). Please also paste that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.
