I'm having a problem with google on this computer. Google is being hijacked on both Mozilla and IE. On Mozilla, after I search a topic, the search results don't even come up, just a bunch of code. In IE, the search results come up, but either it quickly switches to some spam search engine site, or when I click on an item, it will switch to a spam search engine. I ran McAffee, Adaware, SuperAntiSpyware, Spybot S & D. I read somewhere it might be BHO's, but don't know how to remove them. Thanks to anyone who can help!

Hi and welcome to the forums. You have a Wareout infection.

First, you are running HijackThis from the desktop. I recommend that you move HJT to it's own permanent folder so any backups that HJT makes will not be accidently deleted or lost.

Please do the following:Create a new permanent folder in a convenient location that you will remember. To do this: Open Windows Explorer.
Select the drive or folder that you would like to put HJT
From the menu select File > New > Folder
Rename the folder to something you will remember (ie HJT, HijackThis, ect…)
Now move HJT to the new folder that you created.

I notice that you have Spybot's TeaTimer running. While this is normally a wonderful tool to protect against hijackers, it can also interfere with HijackThis fixes.
Disable Spybot's TeaTimer. * Open Spybot Search & Destroy.
* In the Mode menu click "Advanced mode" if not already selected.
* Choose Yes at the Warning prompt.
* Expand the Tools menu.
* Click Resident.
* Uncheck the Resident "TeaTimer" (Protection of overall system settings) active. box.
* In the File menu click Exit to exit Spybot Search & Destroy.


I recommend you print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Run HijackThis. Hit None of the above, Click Do a System Scan Only. Put a Check in the box on the left side on these:

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.116.165 85.255.112.195

Then close all windows except this one and press Fix checked.

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. 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 please post the text that will open (report.txt) and a new HijackThis log.
