    I ran ad-aware, spy bot, CWshredder, and still annoying pop-ups come on that starts to load something, my browser's starting page becomes allaboutsearch.com, and sometimes when i'm surfing the net it redirects to spotresults.com or zestyfind...

    Below is my hjt log, any help would be greatly appreciated...

    Hi kay_timmons,

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

    O1 - Hosts: 207.36.196.189 ieautosearch

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Fork glue] C:\PROGRA~1\TIMEEX~1\This mags.exe

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TV Media] C:\Program Files\TV Media\Tvm.exe

    Then reboot into safe mode and delete:
    C:\Program Files\TV Media <= entire folder
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\msmc.exe
    C:\Program Files\TIMEEX~1 <= entire folder that holds This mags.exe

    Then boot normally and download VX2Finder from this link:
    http://tools.zerosrealm.com/VX2Finder.exe


    Run Vx2Finder click on the *click to find VX2.BetterInternet* button. Then click *make log*.

    Copy and paste the contents of the log into your next reply here.

    Ow, that's easy. I think No files found o_O

    Stay off the net until all files are deleted (second reboot)

    Open VX2Finder it and click on the *click to find VX2.BetterInternet* button.

    Then select the *Delete these files* button.
    You will be left with notice about one to be deleted on reboot.
    It will ask to reboot on deletion of the last file (do that)

    After that last file is gone go to
    Start > run > type regedit enter and Navigate to :

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Notify\GuardianWWFHG

    (Note : the five letters in caps at the end may have changed [WWFHG] but it will still start with Guardian)

    Right click on the GuardianWWFHG key and select delete.
    Close Regedit.
    Reboot.

    Open VX2Finder again and select:
    User Agent$ > yes to confirm delete.
    and then
    Restore Policy

    Exit and reboot.

    Run Vx2Finder once more and click on the *click to find VX2.BetterInternet* button. Then click *make log*.
    Post it here with a fresh HijackThis log please.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Excellent. Looks like you got rid of the worst problem anyway.

    Check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [msmc] C:\WINDOWS\System32\msmc.exe

    O4 - Global Startup: loader.exe

    Then reboot into safe mode and delete:
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\msmc.exe <= if present

    Then (still in safe mode) use the Disk Cleanup Utility to empty all your Temp folder.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    I did everything that was instructed and I believe my problem is fixed!
    I haven't been redirected to any sites, and no weird pop-ups come on anymore!
    Thank you so much for your time and hard work!
