malwarebytes unable to find tango redirect malware

[rlee]

I've ran quick and full malware scans on all my hd, results are 0. but i know i have a redirect malware. when i click on links from firefox google searches, it redirects me to other websites with ads.

also in IE, if i use my search toolbar, it brings me to this tango website saying i could have the tango malware. and in my add/remove programs, i can see a software called Tango, but obviously I cannot remove it.

here's the results from the malware quick scan log:

i'm getting a little paranoid, is it possible that it is recording keystrokes/passwords? i've also ran microsoft security essential quick scan with no results. how the heck do i clean my computer? please help thx!

ok i got fed up with it, so i did a system restore and that seemed to do the trick

Hi,

System restore is not designed for malware removal and you definitely shouldn't use it as such.

Do you want me to check some logs, so that I can confirm if the PC is still infected or not?
