I am having an isssue removing what seems to be a browser hijacker. When I go to google for example and enter a search phrase, another browser window opens 'spontaneously' with the following url ; http//216.133.243.28....., also many words are underlined in the search results on the google search. I have used the following 'tools' as suggested by geekstogo; Adware Se, Spybot S&D, CCleaner & Hijackthis .
I have Panda IS 2005 installed and it keeps finding adware apropos and keeps on deteing it and 5 min later it will find it again and delete it again and so it carries on, doesn't seem to get rid of it permanently.
Here is hijackthis log, any help would be greatly appreciated.
