When i do a search from the google search field in Firefox, a list appears.
However, clicking on a link in the list, instead of going to the website, Firefox gets
redirected to an Advert page or different search page or even to an ebay page !
However if i do a search from the AVG/Yahoo search field, the resulting
links DO NOT redirect me and take me directly to the website.
When I looked in Firefox bookmarks, I saw multiple copies of redirected sites.
I do NOT see this issue with IE7+google.
I have run Adaware+ Spybot + Spydoctor+ Malwarebytes + combofix+spywareblaster+AVG8 in safe mode and with system restore turned off and I still have a browser hijacker problem.
However when i upgraded to Gran Paradiso (Firefox 3.0.8 en-US) , the problem disappered. According to Mozilla support the malware must have been looking for entries with the term 'Firefox'.
Whilst this workaround is working OK, I am aware that the malware that was hijacking Firefox 3 is still embedded somewhere in the system. I can run Rootkit reveal, ListDll and Hijackthis but I dont know what i am looking for.
Can anyone help remove this piece of s**t from my system.
THANKS
