I logged on to my computer and tried to run firefox but it did not load at all. I then tried to run spybot S&D, which also did not run. I then tried combofix and many other anti-malware programs which also failed to load. The programs I could load (spy sweeper and spyware doctor) were unable to update or find any problems. I began using IE and googled some solutions. All of my searches were redirected to other advertising pages. IE also would not load many web pages (geekstogo.com being one of them). I used my spare computer and was able to go to these pages, so I know my ISP isn't the problem. I did a system restore and cleaned my registry but the problems persist. I booted in safe mode and was still restricted in the same way.

Your forum will not allow me to post my hijack this log because my HJT is out of date. I downloaded the latest version using my other computer but it would not install on my computer. Please help. Thank you.

here is my log with the outdated version of hijack this
