A couple of days ago I began having trouble with Google search results being redirected to undesirable sites. If I cut and paste a url to the address bar it gets redirected too (usually only if it was a previous Google search result). It will frequently tell me that the page can't be found. Any help clearing up this nightmare will be GREATLY APPRECIATED!! Thanks
I ran "Fixwareout" and Hijack This (Hijack This results are below the Fixwareout results).

Hi and welcome to the forums. I'm Markka and I will be helping you with your malware issues. I check your HijackThis log. Right now I'm MRU Undergrad, everything that I post to you must be checked by teachers of Malware Removal University. Please be patient.

[Markka]

First you need to disable TeaTimer

1) Run Spybot-S&D
2) Go to the Mode menu, and make sure "Advanced Mode" is selected
3) On the left hand side, choose Tools -> Resident
4) Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts
5) Restart your computer.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://forums.subrat...A...st&id=43811
http://swandog46.gee.../Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, then 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.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Move HijackThis into a own folder -> C:\hjt\

Open HijackThis, Click Do a system scan only, checkmark these and press fix checked:

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{C32CDC2B-2087-4C5A-A47B-8BA346F70F24}: NameServer = 85.255.114.77,85.255.112.91
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.77 85.255.112.91
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.77 85.255.112.91

In the windows control panel. If you are using Windows XP's Category View, select the Network and Internet Connections category otherwise double click on Network Connections. Then right click on your default connection, usually local area connection for cable and dsl, and left click on properties. Click the Networking tab. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS servers automatically
Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.
That option might not be avaiable on some systems
Next Go start run type cmd and hit OK
type
ipconfig /flushdns
then hit enter, type exit hit enter
(that space between g and / is needed)

Post:
- a fresh HijackThis log
- contents of the logfile C:\fixwareout\report.txt
- AVG's log

[Dave1943]

Thank you for your response, however for some unexplainable reason the problem has resolved itself. I did all the things that you suggested, only had one problem and that was trying to run AVG in safe mode. The buttons on the "Settings" tab were not visible in safe mode. I still ran the scan and nothing was found. I was going to attempt to contact AVG this morning and ask if I selected all the settings that you recommended in "regular" mode, would they be preserved when I attempted to run in "safe mode" and was unable to find a way to contact them. Couldn't even do an update, it said the "server was not availble to serve". Soooo, I thought while I was waiting for the server to wake up I would see if I was able to do a Google search and run the results and to my surprise all was "normal". If I have any future problems I will go through this process again. Thanks for your time and trouble. Dave1943

[Markka]

I recommend that you should send to here a fresh HijackThis log and contents of C:\fixwareout\report.txt. So we can see how is the HijackThis log after cleaning.

[Dave1943]

Here are the two reports that you requested, Fixwareout and Hijack This. Thanks for replying, so far all is well and everything is still working. Don't have a clue what the original problem was and how it got fixed, but am very happy that the problem appears to be gone.

Markka, Thanks for the tips. Appreciate any advice that will help me avoid future problems. I also heard through the "grapevine" that Google was having problems that may have caused MY problems and that they have theirs resolved and subsequently MINE have been resolved too. Coincidence? Oh well, just happy that all seems to be working as designed. Thanks again for your time and effort.

You had wareout-infection and that was the reason why the google didn't work.

You're welcome
