Hello i will assist u with this problem...

Download OTL  to your Desktop
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Select All Users
  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in
netsvcs
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
/md5start
consrv.dll
explorer.exe
winlogon.exe
Userinit.exe
svchost.exe
/md5stop
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NetBT /s
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\NetBIOS /s
C:\Windows\assembly\tmp\U\*.* /s
CREATERESTOREPOINT

  • Click the Quick Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Post both logs

Try to run HiJackThis http://solutionfile.trendmicro.com/solutionfile/1037994/EN/HijackThis.exe Select the result which is related to Conduit, BHO, Toolbars and related browsers. Then clicked on FIX CHECKED.
After that restart the computer and check for redirection.

Best of luck :)

To use this tool and create fixes, which can seriously damage a victims system you have to do more than read guides, you have to get training at the likes of G2G. Had you attended the G2G Uni then you would also know that they take a dim view of people under training trying to work removing malware using specialist tools.

So I ask you to refrain from this or you are very likely to suffer the same fate as other untrained so called malware experts, they have been banned from the forums.

I have warned you about this by PM in the past, so you know that you are being watched.

I have no desire to curb someone's enthusiasm, but that has to be tempered with the protection of avast users seeking help. If you wish to help then get trained at one of the malware removal specialist sites. like of Geeks to go. I also recommended this course of action in the PM and that means more than reading a guide.

So until you get trained stop or action will be taken to stop you.

Well don't think about posting fixes, just don't get trained and there would be no problem.

The problem I have is having specifically warned you previously, yet you chose to do it anyway doesn't show good judgement.

Sorry but you don't have the training to determine what is a simple fix or not. I don't care how experienced you/they might think that they are/were it isn't backed up by the training at a recognised malware training centre as mentioned. Or you will go the same way.

Continue to use those tools were you work but don't practice on victims on the avast forums.
