redirects, cmd.exe causes DEP error

Hello. My daughter recently visited projectfreetv.com and since then this laptop has been exhibiting behaviour indicating an infection of some sort. The most common symptom is seemingly random redirects in both IE and Firefox. USB drives are no longer recognized (although a mouse plugged in is detected and installed), cmd.exe flames out with a DEP error (so I can't run DDS).

What I have done:

removed obvious bad entries from the startup (via MSCONFIG) and downloaded and ran HIJ and regquery (after reading some other posts)

disabled some of the unnecessary services

ran trendmicro housecall (it didn't detect anything)
currently running kapersky online scan

What my daughter did:

AVG resident shield detected viruses so she had AVG move them to the vault.

I will research this further tomorrow but I am open to any and all relevant suggestions...

 

Reformatted and reinstalled. Nasty virus, that.

 

Thank you for returning the information.
I'll close this topic now.
