Hi,
I've been hit by what seems to be a common problem lately - Google searches produce results that direct the browser to other sites (shopful.net, getit.com, findlinks.com, etc).

I've run the usual tests: scanned with Symantec Endpoint Protection, Ad-Aware, Spybot, Malwarebytes, etc.. They all show a clean system but the browser still is redirected.

I'm new to Geeks to Go!, so I've tried to follow the suggestions as closely as I can to fix my problem. So far I have done the following:
(1) Ran ATF Cleaner to remove all temp files
(2) Made a System Restore point
(3) Backed up/made a copy of the Registry
(4) Scanned with Symantec Endpoint Protection
(5) Scanned with Ad-Aware
(6) Scanned with Spybot S&D
(7) Scanned with Malwarebytes
(8) Ran HJT and saved the log file (see below)

***NOTE: I don't know if it matters or not, but my OS is XP 64 bit***

Can anyone help me out????

Here's my HJT log:
