My problems started as follows: I type in a seach in the major search engines. A list of websites comes back and I click on the link but I am redirected to other websites. I run McAfee and no trojan, virus, et cetera. I run Lavasoft, but no help. I reinstall IE and try to update to 7.0, no help. Still have same problems.
Thereafter, my outlook is incredibly slow, which is uncharachteristic. Again, I run McAfee. By happen-chance, I watch the last half of the scan. The scan is checking a source of my computer that I do not know, something "hku" followed by a string of hypertext links that I have never visited, mostly porn sites.
So, I wonder if my computer is a zombie. My wireless runs with WPA-PSK, TKIP data encryption so I believe it is unlikely someone on the outside hacked into my network.
I find this site, run Hijackthis and based upon advice in another topic, I run a cleaning utility followed by AVG in safemode. Afterwards, i run HijackThis again. Below are the results. Let me know if you see anything. I have tried about everything I can but I am out of ideas. Thanks for any help in advance.
