Follow these instructions in the order given. Also, do NOT place any logs that I ask you to post in code boxes.

Step 1 - MalwareBytes Anti-Malware Scan
MalwareBytes is among the leading tools when it comes malware removal. It not only will scan and clean your system thoroughly, it'll also provide a detailed log of anything it finds.


Download and install MalwareBytes Anti-Malware: http://download.cnet.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-10804572.html
After installing, double click on MBAM to run it.
Go to the 'Update' tab and select 'Check for Updates.' It is CRITICAL you do this BEFORE moving on.
After updating, go to the 'Scan' tab, and select the 'Perform Full Scan' option. After selecting it, click the 'Scan' button.
Once the scan has completed, have MBAM remove EVERYTHING that it finds. It might ask you to reboot to remove everything - if it does, do so.
After completion, a notepad document will open up with the scan results. Copy EVERYTHING in the notepad document and paste it into your next post.

Step 2 - ComboFix Scan
While ComboFix is running, DO NOT move your mouse or click anything. Make sure ALL programs are closed before running ComboFix. You may notice odd things happening to your desktop, flickering, time changing, etc. don't worry. This is normal and everything will go back to normal once ComboFix is done. Also, disable all ANTIVIRUS and FIREWALL software you have BEFORE running ComboFix. It can interfere with ComboFix while scanning and cause it to hang.


Download ComboFix: http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe
Be sure to save ComboFix to your DESKTOP.
Once saved, run ComboFix. Click your way through all dialog boxes that appear. If it asks you to install the Recovery Console, it would be in your best interest to do so.
Once the scan has finished, it will automatically open a Notepad document with the logs of the scan inside, save it to your desktop.
Once it has finished, reboot your computer.
After rebooting, post the contents of the ComboFix log in your next post.

Remember, leave ComboFix and your computer alone while it's running and be sure to disable your antivirus and firewall.

Step 3 - HiJackThis Log
HiJackThis is going to give us an in-depth look at your system, and it'll help us in making the decision that your system is clean, or if it still has some infections.

After downloading HJT, double click on it to run the program.
Select, 'Do A System Scan and Save A Logfile.'
Once completed, a notepad document should open up. Copy and paste the contents of that document into your next post.



Remember, follow these steps in that order.

On Topic:

What browser are you running?

Because I doubt that a web search tool is giving said viruses.

You may have lost control of your browser.
