Sounds like a browser hijacker. They r becoming very widespread, lately. There's a program called " Hijack This", u can run , and it will show all running processes.
There's a good forum where u can post this log , and the members will tell u what entries need to be deleted.
The anti-virus and anti adware prgrams are not successful in catching alot of these hijacks.
moonshade,
i just checked this out. i downloaded it and it pointed out all the parasites, but it will not remove them for free. got some pop-up ads from the site.
the program i use is called ad-aware 6.0 (lavasoft sweden). it gathers up all the tracking cookies and hijack attempts and everything else and is able to get rid of them. it is free for personal use. my dad told me about this and he was a systems analyst before he retired and he is the second most computer savvy person i know. he always had a computer terminal in the house, which connected by phone to the mainframe computer way back in the 70's, way before pcs. the most computer savvy person i know is my younger brother who is cto and vp of his corporation and i believe he uses this too. ad-aware got rid of the program i downloaded, but i figure it's just jealous of the competition. i'll look for a link for the download and post it as soon as i find it.
i hope that everyone who got this nasty virus is able to remedy it soon. good luck!
cheers, c.(angel)
