Hi,

In both internet explorer and firefox I am being redirected to various sites (like JUPK.com, BXNU.com and loads of others, it seems to change everytime i try and load it) when I try and access either google.com or bbc.co.uk, both of which are bookmarked and have shortcuts on the browser toolbar (in firefox), but neither are my homepage.

I have tried scanning with norton, ewido, adaware, spybot SD, windows defender and countless others, and have not found anything apart from some tracing cookies, which were removed and the problem remained. Ewido also found a password collector, but i deleted this too.

I noticed that a guy posted a similar problem previously, but he said how he found some viruses with Windows Defender, whereas I found none.

Heres my HiJackThis log:
