If you are still getting redirects try this

Download HostsXpert.zip

• Extract (unzip) HostsXpert.zip to a a permanent folder on your hard drive such as C:\HostsXpert
• Double-click HostsXpert.exe to run the program.
• Click "Make Hosts Writable?" in the upper left corner (Only If available).
• Click "Restore Microsoft's Hosts file" and then click "OK".
• Click the X to exit the program.

Note: If you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself.

Done. Anything else? Or is it time to check if searches are still redirecting?
Will let you know if that's worked when I'm next online with my laptop.
Thanks for your help this evening.

no worries - if you can get online give this a bash too;

Please go to Eset Onlinescan (NOD32)
(You need to use InternetExplorer or enable IEView in Firefox)

• You will then see the Terms of Use, tick the check-box infront of YES, I accept the Terms of Use
• Now click Start
• Should you face a Security Warning that asks if you want to install and run a file called "OnlineScanner.cab", click Yes
• Click Start (the Onlinescanner will now prepare itself for running on your pc)
• To do a full-scan, tick: "Remove found threats" and "Scan potentially unwanted applications"
• Press Scan
  The Onlinescan will now start and scan your pc (please let it run to completion)
• When the scan has finished, it will show a screen with two tabs "overview" and "details" and the option to get information or buy software, just close the window
• Click Start >> Run... >> type: C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
  The Scan results will now open in Notepad
• Click into the text area, right-click and chose "select all"
• Right-click again and chose "copy"
• Close Notepad

Note for Vista Users: Eset is compatible but Internet Explorer must be run as Administrator. To do this, right-click on the IE icon in the Start Menu or Quick Launch Bar on the Taskbar and select "Run as Administrator" from the context menu.)

Include this log in your reply by right-clicking and "paste" in the text area of the reply post you just created.

Sorry folks, just got in from working shifts. problem still exists so I thought lets format of the hardrive, Did this , loaded IE7 and firefox 3 with google toolbar.Carried out a search using google,and guess what ..... yes, it still redirects to me other websites, Carried out full scan using AVG, Avast, spybot etc. The things are destroyed, but after doing 2/3 search, and it goes back to same old problem.

Pulling my hair out now!!!!!!!

Firstly you should only have one anti virus product on your machine, you appear to have avast and AVG. I would uninstall on.

1. Disable Teatimer in spybot
Please disable Spybot S&D’s TeaTimer protection, because it is known to interfere with our fixes.
You can enable it again after you're clean.
Open Spybot and click on 'Mode' then click 'Advanced Mode'.
Click on 'Tools' in bottom left hand corner.
Click on the 'System Startup' icon.
Uncheck 'Teatimer' box and/or uncheck 'Resident'.
Click the 'Allow Change' box.
Then, check next to the computer clock to see if the icon for Spybot is still there.
If it is, right click it and choose 'exit Spybot-S&D Resident'.


2. Run malwarebytes - if you already have it - update it first
Malware Bytes

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.

• Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
• Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
• When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
• When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
• Then click Finish.
• MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan. If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue. If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.
• On the Scanner tab:
  • Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
  • Then click on the Scan button.
• If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
• The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
• When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
• Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.
• Back at the main Scanner screen, click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
• The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply and exit MBAM.

Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you may be asked to reboot your computer so it can proceed with the disinfection process. Regardless if prompted to restart the computer or not, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware. MBAM may make changes to your registry as part of its disinfection routine. If you're using other security programs that detect registry changes, they may alert you after scanning with MBAM. Please permit the program to allow the changes.

3. If still getting redirects try this;
Download HostsXpert.zip

• Extract (unzip) HostsXpert.zip to a a permanent folder on your hard drive such as C:\HostsXpert
• Double-click HostsXpert.exe to run the program.
• Click "Make Hosts Writable?" in the upper left corner (Only If available).
• Click "Restore Microsoft's Hosts file" and then click "OK".
• Click the X to exit the program.

Note: If you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself.

You did a FULL format of the hard drive and it STILL redirects? !!!

Im baffled now. there wouldnt be ANYTHING nasty on your drive for anything to find.Though reluctants right, NEVER have 2 or more resident anti virus (Or firewalls for that matter) running at the same time.

Can you please explain EXACTLY what youve done and at what point you experience the problem?
