Need help with my hijacked browser and spyware issues, please.

My friend referred me here after he and I were unable to find whatever it is that is infecting my PC. First, the symptoms. No matter what we do, my internet homepage always reverts to some generic looking "Search Everything" page....also, I am getting loads and loads of pop up ads saying "Your computer is infected with Spyware, etc..." Also, everything loads a LOT slower than before, and I find it very hard to download anything from a site such as downloads.com...when I hit download it just sends me back to the generic looking homepage.

We ran Spybot S&D, but it didn't help much.

So, here is my HiJack this log. I admit, I am fairly clueless when it comes to a lot of this, as I am no PC expert, by any means. If someone can tell me what needs to be deleted from this, and what to watch out for, I would be incredibly grateful.

Thanks for your time.

 

Hi Rhett16

Download Ad-aware from here: http://www.computercops.biz/downloads-file-292.html
Install by double-clicking on the downloaded file.
After installing but before running, update Ad-aware by using its Globe icon.
After updating, shutdown and restart Ad-aware.
Ad-aware is ready to scan and clean your system following these steps:

Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Scanning Engine:
"Unload recognized processes during scanning."
Under Ad-aware 6 > Settings (Gear at the top) > Tweaks > Cleaning Engine:
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
Press "Scan Now"
Check option "Use Custom scanning options"
Check option "Activate In-Depth Scan"
Press "Select drives\folders to scan"
Select the active partition which is usually C:
Press "Next" to let Ad-aware scan your drives...
If it finds "bad" files and registry keys, press "Next" again
Right-click in that pane and choose "select all"
Press "next"
When it asks to remove all checked items, Press "OK"
Close Ad-aware, reboot your system and go on to Step 2 below.

Run Spybot S&D from desktop icon or Start menu.
Press "Search for updates" button to get list of updates available.
Press "Download updates" button.
Close all IE windows and close & restart Spybot S&D.
Press "Check for problems" button.
Have SpyBot remove all it marks in red by pressing "Fix selected problems".

Close Spybot S&D, reboot your system .

Go to Windows Update and get ALL critical updates !

Empty your Temporary Internet Files and history in Internet Options. And clean out your
%Userprofile%\Local Settings\Temp
folder. It's a good idea to do that regularly.

Run HJT again - but before save Hijackthis in its OWN folder - and post a FRES HJT log. thanks.
