Malware? search engine redirect

[myriamlavoie]

Hi!

I got back a netbook from a friend - it works relatively fine but everytime I open a browser I get redirected to the following site: search.conduit.com.

I removed all unecessary programs, toolbars and whatnot and ran the malwarebytes program (which found nothing malicious) and of course set up my homepage to a new page (google.com) but it is still happening. I am worried it might be malware. I'm trying my luck in this forum, but otherwise I'm ready to maek a clean OS reinstall.

cheers.

Here are my logs:

Well after removing all the programs and changing back again my homepage and rebooting, the redirect seems to be gone now. Not sure how but I might have fixed my problem just before posting the first log. I'd still appreciate if someone can take a look at it, I wont make any changes to the computer till then. thanks.

[Maniac]

Hello myriamlavoie and ! My name is Maniac and I will be glad to help you solve your malware problem.

Please note:

• If you are a paying customer, you have the privilege to contact the help desk at Consumer Support. If you choose this option to get help, please let me know.
  
• I recommend you to keep the instructions I will be giving you so that they are available to you at any time. You can save them in a text file or print them.
  
• Make sure you read all of the instructions and fixes thoroughly before continuing with them.
  
• Follow my instructions strictly and don’t hesitate to stop and ask me if you have any questions.
  
• Post your log files, don't attach them. Every log file should be copy/pasted in your next reply.
  

Step 1

Please uninstall this application: µTorrent

Step 2

Please download AdwCleaner from here and save it on your Desktop.

1. Right-click on adwcleaner.exe and select Run As Administrator to launch the application.
   
2. Now click on the Search tab.
   
3. Please post the contents of the log-file created in your next post.

Note: The log can also be located at C:\ >> AdwCleaner[XX].txt >> XX <-- Denotes the number of times the application has been ran, so in this should be something like R1.

In your next reply, post the following log files:

• AdwCleaner log
  
• a new fresh DDS log
