From: Xet on 4 May 2010 09:14 My computer often redirects me on Google searches and sometimes gives me a random pop-up in the form of a new tab. All of these redirecting pages have the same icon that you see on the tab before it goes to another site. In addition to this problem, I cannot go online to anything containing update.microsoft.com. I tried to go to Windows update and it won't let me connect. Tried to go to MS update and it won't let me connect. I put in Google, update.microsoft.com, and it won't let me connect. I go to a random search in a site, type update.microsoft.com and it won't let me connect. I am running Windows XP Home edition. I have looked into my HOST file and it only shows 127.0.0.1. I have used McAfee & Ad-aware twice. I ran Malwarebytes once and it found some registry error which I removed but I'm still having the same problems. -- Xet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xet's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/216524.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1333329.htm http://forums.techarena.in

Here are the following programs that I ran from various different help forums. SuperAntiSpyware MalwareBytes Ad-aware DDS FixVundo GMER HiJackThis RootRepeal Spybot S&D SystemLook In some of these programs, they are ran just to show the log files. All have picked up nothing on scan (all meaning SAS, MalwareBytes, Ad-aware, FixVundo, & SpyBot S&D). -- Xet ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Xet's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/216524.htm View this thread: http://forums.techarena.in/windows-xp-support/1333329.htm http://forums.techarena.in |
