Recently, within the last week, I have had some disturbing developments on my computer. All symptoms are for IE and Mozilla-Firefox
The main symptoms are:
(1) Popups for "hornymatches.com", "publishers.clickbooth.com", "goldencasino.com", or a "earn college degree online website" which occur at mozilla and IE startup. These popups continue to be generated throughout the internet experience.
(2) Inability to search on Yahoo or Google. When entered into the search field, the query stalls, and will not proceed. Ask.com works, but Google and Yahoo will not return any searches.
(3) I cannot log into my gmail account. Gmail's home page loads (as does Yahoo's and Google's for problem 2)
(4) Loading content (i.e. video from youtube, songs from yahoo music) sometimes are incomplete, while streaming content (Justin.TV or fmenergy927.com) get jittery,
(5) I have run Microsoft's malware, spybot search and destroy, and mcafee antivirus. Microsoft was the last to run and found nothing. Spybot finds and deletes the same entry every time. Mcafee found some infected files, but now encounters none, despite persistent symptoms. I ran these in safe mode as well. These were complete scans (taking about 3 hrs each)
(6) I can access webpages fine, so long as I type the address in. Again, no searching. I found this website on another computer and entered the address to get the hijackthis install. All failures are for mozilla/firefox 2.0.0.9 and IE version 7.
(7)I have not been able to search my processes since the searchs either dont return (google and yahoo) or are awful (via ask).
(8) Hijackthis log:
