Hi there,

Recently I have got myself into a little problem however everything Google orientated has packed in... I lost it as my startup page cant get onto it and programs like Google earth can not connect to the server anymore...

This is really puzzling me, I have Norton’s antivirus with the Latest Definitions and Microsoft Anti Spyware.. Nothing can pick this up.. What else can I do.. I have Hijack this and if anyone is curious I can post the log file on here if that helps.

Any information of any kind would be helpful

Cheers again..

Yes, post the hijackthis log.

Can you browse to google's website?

hi there,

No anything related to google has gone. just wont connect.. I thought it was this virus below however the other sites work and tried everythin on it but nothing came up looking through the registry. i have tried many so many virus scans and spyware programs and nothing is picked up what so ever....

Its driving me mad now, i know most people would just say use another search engine but its just the thought there's an infection in my computer that i can't solve.. I've spent so many hours trying to get my head around this problem.. i really need your help now...

I really appriciate your help with this ...

Below is the Hyjackthis log..

I'm about ready to go to bed so I can't post too much, but I'll tell you what I think is suspicious...

I don't know for sure if they are problematic, but like I said, I just skimmed through it and that's what I found. They are the MyWay search assistant Browser objects that are installed on most (All?) DELL systems. It's considered Adware by most, I'm surprised a Spyware blocker hasn't picked it up.

There's my 2 cents...
