For a while I have had this virus that redirects me to ad sites on when i search for anything google, yahoo etc. (it will show something like go.google.com and go to a site like missngpage.com) it also slows down my computer during startup and shutdown. It does not allow me to visit anti virus sites and everytime i try to download norton or an antivirus program it does not start up. after reading some of the advice from others who have the same problem i was able to download MalwareByte AntiMalware and HijackThis v2.0.2 I have the log from MBAM and I ran HijackThis but was hesitant to mess with it any further. Can someone help me analyze the logs and assist me with keeping this off of my computer?
