hi, think I put this in wrong section so I am reposting here just in case =/ I didn't notice this section til afterwards.
I have recently started having a lot of problems with my computer.
I guess if I make a list it would be easiest =/
1. When I search something in google, it works alright in firefox, but if I click on any link it doesn't take me to the site, and the search is extremely slow. (in fact, my internet in general is much slower.) when I click on a link, it says "redirect" and goes to some weird websites, like one called moxiesearch.com and another called bediddle.com (other rubbishy search engines)
2. I have started getting a lot of popups.
3. Hotmail doesn't work; I can log in, but when I click go to inbox absolutely nothing happens.
4. I have tried to restore windows from an earlier point, but no matter what date I try fails...
5. A lot of websites display in a really weird way, when two weeks ago they were fine.. The text gets all crammed up into two lines so is completely illegible, and java applications don't work through the internet.

Thats all I can think of, apart from the computer runes a bit slower than usual.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks for taking the time to read this

Sorry forgot to say, I have tried downloading all those programs that there are in the stickies (eg hijackthis) but when i click the links is says "page load error". I think this may be related to my problem :S

Hi conormacklin and welcome to daniweb.
From the way things sound you posted in exactly the right place. You need to follow some steps and run some programs to help us see exactly what is going on with the computer.
Go HERE
Download and run the ATF-Cleaner to clean up unnecessary temps and such.
Then do a full system scan with your Antivirus program and allow it to fix everything found.
Then download, install and update Malwarebytes's Anti-Malware. Then follow the directions on running it given in the link by PhilliePhan. Save the log for posting here.
Run the ESET Online scanner if you can using the directions given by PP. Save that log too. If you cannot run it yet, don't worry, we can get to that later if needed.
Finally download and run HiJackThis Do a full system scan and save the log.
Post back here with all the requested logs and we can take a look.

Whoops! Didn't see your last post.
See if you can run your antivirus program in Safe Mode first. Then see if you can get the HiJackThis I posted and run it.

Yep, can't open those virus programs :P going to reboot in safe mode now and see if it works. thanks for the quick reply!

shoot
another small problem :S
When I start up my computer, a program opens to be able to connect to the internet (orange) and this isn't working in safe mode, meaning that I can't egt to the links to download hijackthis.
Iwill try downloading it on another computer and bringing it over, so I will post the log as soon as I can.

ok, heres my log:

hope it makes more sense to you than it does to me!! :P

When I start up my computer, a program opens to be able to connect to the internet (orange) and this isn't working in safe mode,

Have you tried Safe Mode with Networking? This will allow you to enter safe mode but with the ability to get online.
Are you on dial-up or high speed?

yep i did try that, but it won't let me open up the program to connect to internet.
im on high speed, and i got the hijack program on my other computer, so I posted that log

If you are on highspeed then why are you not connected all the time? You should be, I know I am. You should just be able to open a browser and be online or else we are talking about a different kind of high speed.

I notice you have a program running in the background called NetWaiting. If you are on highspeed, why do you need this program running? This is a program provides a mechanism to suspend a dialup internet connection on the modem line while the user uses the line for a voice communication.

Haha had no idea I even had that :P
And my internet is wireless, so you need to connect. My box thing that gives the wireless internet needs a program to use which normally runs on startup.

Ok, wireless, is there a way you can connect the internet cable directly to the computer and bypass that wireless for now?

think there might be
il have a try :)

Ok yep it works thanks :P Still cant get to those websites on the internet though. Im running my antivirus atm, will probably take all night though, only 1 percent atm and its 21.31

Try running it in safe mode. It should make it go somewhat faster because there won't be a lot of items running in the background.

commented: helped so much! +1

IYeh thats what I did :)
Gah it worked for a few minutes and now doesn't work again =/
I will try run the vrus scan thing again.

What do you mean it didn't work again?

The only "odd" entry I see in your log, other than the NetWaiting thing is this one;
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [sqoic] "c:\documents and settings\claire macklin\local settings\application data\sqoic.exe" sqoic
Do you know what this is?
Ordinarily I wouldn't recommend this but you might try "fixing" this with HJT.
Run the program again, put a checkmark next to that entry and click the Fix Checked button. Exit HJT.
Reboot the computer and see if you still have problems accessing the steps and sites given in my post #3. If you CAN do those then try them, especially the Malwarebytes's program.
Judy

Ok, I deleted the sqoic thing, still have problems accessing sites though. I downloaded the programs on another computer though, and ran the first one so far, it freed up about 2 gigabytes. I will do the second one now, and there was one other thing i forgot to say >.>
When I turn on the computer, a message always pops up saying something like:

"This program has been closed in an unusual way" And the name of the program is loads of numbers and letters in documents and settings. Can't remember the exact message, i will take a printscreen.

heres the logfile for malwarebytes, it found about 22 files.

conormacklin, you need to run another HiJackThis scan just to be sure and post the log here. There were a couple other fixes that needed doing that I saw when looking at your last HJT log but wanted you to run that Malwarebytes' program first.

I see you still have that Modem On Hold program running at start up and all the time in the background. Program is located in C:\Program Files\NetWaiting\netWaiting.exe

If you don't use dial up then you don't need this program. There is no reason at all for it to be starting or running. Disable it

The other thing is your java is out of date so you should update that.
Go HERE and download the Offline Install to the desktop. Once you have done that then go to Add/Remove and Uninstall all old versions of Java you find there.
Then double click the Java Install icon on the desktop to install the newest version. Once you have done that then go back to the Java download page and on the right side you will see Verify Now. Click that to verify the installation was successful.
Other than those two things I would say you are good to go!
Judy

Ok thanks, done all that! :)
By the way, do you know how to stop programs running on startup? For example my orange wireless conector program thing I don't really need it. And there is some pogram that tries to run every time I turn on the computer called "SNlIKnwcXNF.exe" which I don't have a clue what is, it says it is RealTek HD audio control panel =/

Type msconfig in the run dialog box and go to the startup tab. here you can check and uncheck startup programs

commented: cheers +1

This start up process is unknown, have searched and found no information about it. Disabling the start up is really not enough this will stop it from starting but does NOT remove it from the computer, we need to find out what this is and possibly take steps to remove it. It could be a dangerous file so please do the following:

Go to http://virusscan.jotti.org/
Upload the following file

C:\Documents and Settings\Claire Macklin\SNlIKnwcXNF.exe
It will then be scanned by multiple virus scanners and you will receive a report about this file.
Please post back with that full report.

Judy

ok, il do that afterr eating, and the other thing is, it keeps changing its name.
