Hello I read the thread on here "Virus wont even let me search for help" beacuse her problem sounded similar to mine and I followed the directions but I am still having the same problem.

I am having a problem with my search engines. When I search anything it comes back as or fittingdeals.com and other crazy things that have no relation to what I am searching. Now recently when I open a page up in Internet explorer it opens two pages. This is my work computer and I have waisted my whole day today trying to fix it and to say the least I am very frustrated!!! Any help would be appricated!

Thanks so much

Running Malwarebytes and HijackThis was the right first move — ’s advice and ’s note about unzipping HijackThis were on point. With the search-redirect symptom apparently cleared (as reported by ) the remaining symptom — Internet Explorer opening two pages at launch — is usually a configuration artifact rather than an active infection.

Common causes and quick checks:

  • Multiple home pages configured in Internet Explorer. Open Internet Explorer → Tools → Internet Options → General and remove any extra URLs so only the desired home page remains (each line becomes a startup page).
  • An extra URL appended to the Internet Explorer shortcut. Right‑click the IE icon (desktop, Quick Launch, Start menu) → Properties → Target and ensure nothing is tacked on after iexplore.exe.
  • A toolbar/BHO or a startup/scheduled task launching a second instance. Use Tools → Manage Add‑ons → Toolbars and Extensions to disable unknown entries, and inspect the Startup folder and Scheduled Tasks for items that launch a browser.

If the problem persists, take these safer advanced steps:

  • Use Autoruns (Sysinternals) to list every Run/RunOnce/Browser Helper Object and clearly identify anything unfamiliar.
  • Create a restore point before removing items or editing the registry. On a work machine, changes may require administrator approval or IT involvement.
  • If add-ons and startup entries are clean but the behavior continues, consider creating a new Windows user profile or restoring to a known good restore point.

Note: avoid deleting items unless their purpose is known. If enterprise policy is in effect, involve the IT team before making persistent system changes. ’s similar report suggests this pattern crops up often on shared/work machines.

You are running hijackthis from it's zip file. Please unzip it to a permanent folder and post another log.

Is your pc any better after running MBAM?

Hopefully this is correct.

I can now search but it still open two windows whenever I open Internet Explorer so I assume there is still a problem.
