Finally, a website that’s actually helpful, instead of a bunch of outdated forums with hardly any relevance to the topic. I truly appreciate the info.

Never mind all. Problem has resurfaced this morning. Also causing havoc with browsers crashing. All of them! Firefox, IE, Safari, Chrome. There is still a Trojan somewhere. I will update when I know it is resolved.

OK Scratching my head at this one. After deleting temp files and caches and anything else I could think of, I thought of removing the GOOGLE TOOLBAR as a bit of a hail mary pass!!! Perhaps something was cached in it? I am now no longer redirecting to any other site. If anyone else has been running the GTB and is having this issue and has tried other applications and it doesn’t seem to help The GTB is worth an uninstall. I mean what’s the worst that can happen?

Well I’ve got it now and it comes in a new flavor. Hitman wasn’t able to help and neither Spyware doc or trend micro are helpful. There is no sysfile that originally kicked off this thread. This thing is baffling. I am getting redirects to meta.7search and feed.bizzclick and nothing detects a problem. I’ll see if the pros can find anything and will report my success or lack thereof once I know something. Any other ideas would be helpful.

Hitman cleared the redirect problem for me. I had to download it from another computer and burn it to a CD ROM.
I then used the Ultimate Boot CD to boot up my infected computer and transfer the Hitman Pro application to the infected hard drive.
On rebooting to the infected drive, I eventually was able to run Hitman which found several trojans and several malware applications. It removed/deleted most and quarantined a few others.
For the moment my browser appears to be working fine and doesn’t redirect after using Google searches.
Many thanks Chris

HitMan Pro cleared up the search engine redirect problem in 30 minutes. Two days with McAfee support did nothing. I know I will go with Hitman when my current contract with McAfee ends. Thank you guys at Hitman Pro.

I am so, so glad I found this site, thanking everyone for the advice! If only there was some way to prevent creators of this bullshit from checking out pages like this too…
