Good work by and — the HijackThis logs show the obvious hijack entries were removed. The cleanup steps below focus on verification and hardening so the martfinder homepage (or similar redirects) cannot return later. These are safe, low-risk checks to run after the removal steps already taken.

Check local DNS/redirects and clear caches. Look inside the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) for any entries that map common sites to unexpected IPs and remove them if found. After editing or if you see no hosts entries, flush the DNS resolver cache so cached redirects are removed. (howtogeek.com)

Repair networking hooks that some hijackers use. Reset the Winsock catalog to remove malicious layered service providers and then reboot; this often fixes persistent homepage/DNS hijacks that survive file deletion. After reboot, check active network endpoints (or run netstat/TCPView) to spot unusual outbound connections. Run these from an elevated command prompt:

ipconfig /flushdns
netsh winsock reset
netstat -ano

Run the commands as Administrator and reboot before further testing. (learn.microsoft.com)

Find and remove persistent autostarts and leftover registry/file entries with Autoruns (Sysinternals) — it shows every autostart location so orphaned or renamed malware entries can be deleted safely. Finally, remove old System Restore/Shadow copies (they can reintroduce malware) or at least create a clean new restore point after a full scan. If anything looks unfamiliar, back up the registry/affected files before deleting. (learn.microsoft.com)

If the homepage reappears after all of the above, also check the router’s DNS and admin settings (change the admin password and restore factory defaults if needed), or consider a clean OS reinstall when uncertainty remains. Do not edit the registry or delete system files unless comfortable; mistakes can break Windows — when in doubt, capture logs and run an up-to-date on-demand scanner or consult a malware specialist.

Make sure you had Ad-Aware setup like this when you last ran it .
Setup Ad-Aware .
After installing AAW, and before running the program, update reference files by using the bottom right button in the program, labeled "Check for Updates."

Launch the program, and click on the Gear at the top of the start screen.

Click the "Scanning" button.
Under Drives & Folders, select "Scan within Archives".
Click "Click here to select Drives + folders" and select your installed hard drives.

Under Memory & Registry, select all options.
Click the "Advanced" button.
Under "Log-file detail", select all options.
Click the "Tweaks" button.

Under "Scanning Engine", select the following:
"Include additional Ad-aware settings in logfile" and
"Unload recognized processes during scanning."
Under "Cleaning Engine", select the following:
"Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."
Click on 'Proceed' to save these Preferences.
Please make sure that you activate IN-DEPTH scanning before you proceed

And after that, please do the following:

reboot computer and post a new log

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.
Unzip HijackThis into this folder. When you run HijackThis from this folder and have it "Fixed checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary.

Have Hijack This fix the following by placing a check in the appropriate boxes and selecting fix checked. Make sure all browser and all Windows Explorer windows are closed before fixing.
