While google searching for a goose recipe, suddenly when I started clicking on my search results, I would be redirected to random websites.
A random file appeared on my desktop which I immediately deleted as I didn't put it there (I know stupid - I even emptied my recycle bin so I do not have record of it other than recalling the name of the file was something like wdmaud)
Ran Spybot (already installed in computer) which did not detect anything.
My Symantec Antivirus (already installed in computer) also didn't detect anything; however yesterday it did detect a trojan which I deleted.
Downloaded Malwarebytes which did detect infections but once they were quarantined it no longer detected anything yet I still had the issue.
Uninstalled Internet Explorer and downloaded Google Browser instead but this only temporarily worked and then once again I was being redirected.
Downloaded Counter Spy on an external harddrive from another computer and installed in my computer. Each time I run the scan it detects a trojan but as soon as it detects it causes my computer to bluescreen.
Downloaded HijackThis and now have a logfile that I hope someone can view and help me with this issue. Thank you.

Hello kaizen and welcome to Geeks to Go! Please follow these guidelines while we work on your PC:

• Malware removal is a sometimes lengthy and tedious process. Please stick with the thread until I’ve given you the “All clear.” Absence of symptoms does not mean your machine is clean!
• Please do not run any scans or install/uninstall any applications without being directed to do so.
• Any light blue colored text in my posts indicates a clickable link.
• If you have any questions at all, please stop and ask before proceeding.

Please download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links and save it to your desktop.
