Search Engine Redirector


Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I have a computer that got infected after doing a google search and clicking on a link. Searches in Google, Yahoo and Bing get redirected to alternate sites, usually sales related. It happens if I'm in IE, Chrome, or Firefox. Malwarebytes finds nothing. Superantispyware found some cookies, "deleted them", but they showed up on next scan. I've ran TDSKill, Combofix, Rkill, and tried various other things. Hosts file is fine, DNS is fine, IE settings are fine. I don't know what to do next. I'm trying not to have to wipe and reload. Nothing I have tried seems to detect an infection, unless I'm reading results wrong. Can you guys help?

Thanks Much,

Rick
