"Free Search Online" page redirect

[Eddy]

I just double checked and the installer does install HijackThis. Very strange. THIS is a direct link to HijackThis. Give that one a try.

No luck   Gives me that error again Cannot copy file: Cannot read from the source file or disk

have a look at www.av-outsoure.net you can get spycatcher enterprise. to stop this spyware

[Eddy]

Ok, let us try something else. Search your drive for two files. One is called HOSTS and the other LMHOSTS. If you find them check if they have a file extension. If not post them here. If they are long you can send them to hjtbeta@yahoo.com and I will have a look at them.

Also run a online virus scan. And let us know the result.

I used http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp online virus scanner and it found the following:
TROJ AGENT.L
TROJ AGENT.L
and yes another TROJ AGENT.L
TROJ DYFUCA.B
ADW SAFESEARCH.A
BKDR HACDEF.73.B
BKDR HACDEF.73.B
BKDR HACDEF.73.B
BKDR HACDEF.73.B
BKDR HACDEF.73.B
TROJ DELF.RA

Funkey Munkey -

[Eddy]

Boot in safe mode with network support and run a online scan. Let it remove all infected files.

Who or what is "gladiator-antivirus"?
and why should an avast user go to their forum for help.
I believe that's what this forum is for and what it has been doing for quite some time. IMHO

[toadbee]

Hi Bob - sorry  
Free help and information is what gladiator is nowadays.
(no product and no donations even accepted, no ads either)

It appeared funkeymunkey could use the help.
Old school nasty removal is a specialty  
Yes, it might be the wrong place for Avast help I agree - All though we try.

[Funkeymunkey]

I booted in safe mode and ran online scan deleted the files... still got the page redirect though   U get my e-mail  Eddy?

If you have the knowledge, and are interested, your more than welcome to stay and help.

[Eddy]

ok, that is a start. The hosts file is clean. Disable system restore, reboot and try to run hijackthis again. If it still fails get ad-aware and spybot s&d and run them.

[Funkeymunkey]

Run HijackThis.....you mean try and download it right? And how do  i turn off system restore?.....becaouse I cant even get Hijackthis as of yet....
