Solve : redirect problem with google?

The software said it was cleaned, but I am not sure. My Out look EXp seems to hang up and I have to run my anti spy thing, then it seems to work.  I seem to get a lot of runtime errors also.  Most of my software works though. 

Is RegCure any GOOD?  What kind of registry repair program would you recommend?Personally, I stay away from registry repairs/cleaners.  Many of them seem to be a bit less than helpful.  HOWEVER, CCleaner is a great program.  Just make sure you install it without the optional Yahoo! toolbar, then use CCleaner to clean out your temp files and registry (be sure to make a backup when prompted).

Try running a scan with SUPERAntiSpyware in SAFE Mode.  If you are still experiencing problems, feel free to post a new HijackThis log so we can see if something else MIGHT be lurking about.I ran ccleaner and downloaded and ran Superantispy in safe mode
CCleaner seemed to remove a lot and I downloaded and ran superantispy in safe mode. It came back negative.

Last night I ran defender in the quick scan mode; came back negative.  Then I ran it in a complete system scan and it found Trojan Downloader: win32Zlob. It did referance HJ as a resource. My computer seems to be running OK, but, I am holding my BREATH. Thanks again for your help and patience.

How is your computer doing, anyway?

BTW...I don't like Windows Defender. Your warning might have been false positive, since no other program detects anythingMy computer seems to be running OK. I think the Ccleaner may have helped more than anything.  I have had a lot of runtime errors up until today. I haven't had any today.

The only reason I have defender is because it is a free download. 

I read an article a while back about anti virus programs.  They tested most of the popular programs at the time against 1000 known virus'.  Most of them missed about 5 to 7 percent of them.  None of the missed ones were all the same.  That led me to believe that we have to have 200 anti virus programs to get them all. I can't recall which one was the best, but it wasn't Norton or McAfee.
Thanks again, JoeWindows Defender is not antivirus program. It's more antimalware program, but it doesn't have too good press.
I'd recommend to disable it.
You have your firewall, and antivirus program running now. That's the basic protection.
On a top of it, I'd recommend, you download two free programs, which will give you an extra protection in real time:
