Need help with findthewebsiteyouneed.com problem

My home page keeps getting changed to findthewebsiteyouneed.com and every time I open a new page while on the internet I get a findthewebsiteyouneed popup. I even sometimes get a findthewebsiteyouneed popup just while I'm navigating to folders on my hard drive without IE open. I've run both Ad-Aware and Spybot but no luck getting rid of it yet. Here's my HijackThis log. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi BrianZ111,

Welcome to Wilders.

Before you start, please unzip or move HijackThis to a separate folder of its own. The program will make backups to the folder it's in. These easily get lost in a temporary folder or a folder with other programs.

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,SearchAssistant = about:blank

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {549B5CA7-4A86-11D7-A4DF-000874180BB3} - (no file)

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [easywww] C:\windows\easywww2.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [redirect] C:\windows\redirect7.exe

There also may be hidden files. See HERE for how to show hidden files.

Then reboot into safe mode and delete:

C:\windows\easywww2.exe
C:\windows\redirect7.exe

Reboot and then post a fresh HijackThis log.

Regards,
Kent

 

Thanks, I didn't havn't had any popups on the way to this site, so far so good.
