i've gone through this message board:

http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread44977.html

and used the hijackthis program, the cclean program, and then the AVG
Anti-Spyware program. I have the hijackthis log after all this...

i'm not sure what to do next, because when i use search engines in my
internet explorer, it still redirects me.

if you can help, please send me an e-mail, and i will be more then happy to
give you the hijackthis log so far... of any feedback will help.

thanks.
 
i've decided to post the log, make life easier:

When all else fails, HijackThis v1.99.1
(http://aumha.org/downloads/hijackthis.zip) is the preferred tool to use.
It will help you to both identify and remove any hijackware/spyware with
assistance from an expert. **Post your log to

If the procedures look too complex - and there is no shame in admitting this
isn't your cup of tea - take the machine to a local, reputable and
independent (i.e., not BigBoxStoreUSA) computer repair shop.
