I'd stake my house on that being malware.

So do I go to hijack this log and then tick the box next to it and delete it.
All I've ever had on here has been a Vodafone dongle which hopefully now has been deleted.
A 3 G dongle which is mine for when my internet plays up and I connect using that. Not used it for months though.
I've just done a system restore back to the 24th July when things were ok.
So hopefully things may improve.
Watch this space.

If you're still having redirect problems download aswMBR and save it to your desktop.

http://public.avast.com/~gmerek/aswMBR.exe

When you've downloaded it...

• Right click aswMBR.exe & choose "Run as Administrator to run it.
• Click No to the prompt to download Avast! virus definitions.
• Click the Scan button.
• When the scan reports "Scan finished successfully", click Save log & save the log to your desktop.
• Click OK then aswMBR.txt & MBR.dat will be appear on your desktop.
• Click EXIT.
• Copy & paste the contents of aswMBR.txt here.

upload C_28595F.dll to https://www.virustotal.com

Well my computer is in such a mess now. To be honest I don't know what I'm meant to be downloading. I keep taking advice from you all and now my computer is in a far worse mess.
I can't get rid of the aswMBR. It's on my desktop and not in my addd/remove programme list.
Things have got worse since I downloaded that.
When I check my emails through outlook express office, they are coming up with an error of Installer initialization failed due to following error:
Error: Initialization of the language file "C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG9" failed.
Initialization of languages failed or files count is zero.
That didn't happen before. I went to add/remove programmes to uninstall what was left of AVG, but it won't let me get rid of it. It shows the icon AVG free 9.0 in the programme list, but when I click uninstall it says nstaller initialization failed due to following error:
Error: Initialization of the language file "C:\Program Files (x86)\AVG\AVG9" failed.
Initialization of languages failed or files count is zero.
When I click to unistall vuze toolbar, it says could not open install log file.

I'm totally at a loss now.
I know you are all trying to be helpful, but I think maybe I need to take it to an expert for them to completely reformat it.
Oh dear..

It's a single, standalone executable - delete it from your desktop and it's gone.

it's an acer, you don't need to take it to an expert to reformat it, it has a built in factory restore system called erecovery to do that. have you created the erecovery recovery disc yet? and system tools disc if there is one?

but before you consider it......

download and run the avg removal tool

http://www.avg.com/us-en/utilities

and ......

is it redirecting now?
have you uploaded the dll to virustotal?
you said you'd delete vuze toolbar, what exactly did you do?

Is this hitman totally free. I don't want to download it, scan it and then discover you have to pay.
I seem to be downloading loads of different stuff which people are recommending, but not sure which is the best to be honest.

Yes, but don't click on buy now, just go next , and then select a one time scan.
It will find a lot of cookies let them be deleted , but it will take some time to scan the whole lot , be patient.... and let us know if it finds anything other than cookies.

It's not redirecting as of yet. For some strange reason, it does it in the morning when I first turn my laptop on.
The vuze toolbar, I went into uninstall a programme and deleted it.
Then later on I decided to roll my computer back to 24th July. Now it comes up with AVG errors and the Vuze toolbar icon is still there but won't let me get rid of it.

As above but you need to hold down the shift key when right clicking on the mouse button(you know the key above your ctrl key left hand/right hand side of the keyboard ) ie for capital letter key :cool:

I imagine thing are messed up because you did a system restore after uninstalling vuze and avg

use the removal tool
