Hi,

Google keeps redirecting me to 85.255.114.58 or some similar IP - redirects to spyware websites.
I found the DNS servers had been renamed - so changed them back but the problem still exists within
internet explorer. Have scanned with antivirus and spybot - but can't seem to get rid of this issue.

Log file is as follows (thanks in advance) :

Welcome to the forum :wavey:

Please download FixWareout from one of these links:
Fixwareout.exe
Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop.

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {29C88E20-4234-41B9-A9DB-982958C95FB1} - (no file)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {75B1A646-CDCE-4C06-B52F-84F4463B4FC8} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dmebp.exe] C:\WINDOWS\system32\dmebp.exe

O20 - Winlogon Notify: artm_newreg - C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\Settings\artm_new.dll (file missing)

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!.

* Run Fixwareout on the desktop.
* Click Next, then Install, 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.
* Once the desktop loads a text will open (report.txt). We'll need that in a bit.

And paste it's contents into your next post.
