Solved Google Redirect

Hi
OK good, it seems that Combofix removal didn't delete your old restore points so we will do it manually.

We need to turn off and on system restore. There are infections in it and by using system restore you would reinfect yourself.

You must be logged in as an Administrator to do this. If you are not logged in as an Administrator, the System Restore tab will not be displayed.
Turning off System Restore will clear out all previous restore points.

To turn off Windows XP System Restore:
NOTE: These instructions assume that you are using the default Windows XP Start Menu and have not changed to the Classic Start menu. To re-enable the default menu, right-click Start, click Properties, click Start menu (not Classic) and then click OK.
1. Click Start.
2. Right-click the My Computer icon, and then click Properties.
3. Click the System Restore tab.
4. Check "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives"
5. Click Apply.
6. When turning off System Restore, the existing restore points will be deleted. Click Yes to do this.
7. Click OK.
8. Restart the computer and follow the instructions in the next section to turn on System Restore.

To turn on Windows XP System Restore:
1. Click Start.
2. Right-click My Computer, and then click Properties.
3. Click the System Restore tab.
4. Uncheck "Turn off System Restore" or "Turn off System Restore on all drives. "
5. Click Apply, and then click OK
6. Make a new restore point.
7. Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore.
Choose Create a restore point and clicked Next, Under “Type a description for your restore point…”put a name in the box,. Click Create. In the next window click Close.

Let me know how things are running.

Done and done! Computer is working better than ever, no redirects and no problems getting to symantec or other anti-virus sites! I owe you a dozen roses, or a case of red bull or something. Thanks a million! I'll run another kaspersky scan tonight to make sure that I'm in the clear.

Additionally, if I post again in a few days, it will say I'm a lifetime subscriber. Thanks again!
