I'm usually really good at hunting down and squashing spyware/viruses but I've got one that's got me a little stumped.
My google searches keep getting redirected to random pages. Happens in IE or Firefox. I'm running Windows XP Pro SP3.
- Malwarebytes, TDSSkiller, Kaspersky, Symantec AV all show that the PC is clean
- No rogue processes running in task manager
- Host file looks clean
- Nothing out of the ordinary that I can see in HijackThis
- No rogue items are in HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run or HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run
Nothing looks fishy in the usual places. The only thing that looks odd is in my add/remove programs there's an application called "aaa" with the Java logo next to it. when I try to uninstall it, I always get an error that the program was not uninstalled correctly. I nuked it from the registry and don't see it in add/remove programs anymore but my searches are still getting redirected.
Anything else I should try? Any tricks/tips you guys have to hunt this down?
