Ok. It’s like this. After an infestation with viruses sth went wrong, it was still like this even after the removal of the viruses(my antivirus program is NOD32) When I tried to enter a page it would redirect me to another ,later I found out that this was a spyware that puts pornographic pop-ups to my system(installed by the Spybot worm). Every page I tried to open in the internet it always redirected me there, I installed Search and Destroy anti-spyware And after scanning and clearing the threats I booted and scanned again there wore only 2 from 7 left, I did the same thing again and there was only 1 left- Zlob.DNSChanger.Rtk. And I couldn’t get rid of it no matter what, I tried after booting in Safe Mode but it was still there, however there was no problem anymore with the redirection to the pornographic site, but when I scan the system Zlob is still there and also I can’t register anywhere or log into the sites I registered earlier(that was from the beginning after the infestation) so I downloaded hijackthis and those are the results(I’m currently sending this from my friend’s computer with the results from the scan from mine.
