Hi all. I'm usually pretty good with cleaning this stuff up so I'm a little befuddled because I can't seem to figure out the issue. I'm GETTING random redirects in Firefox and IE. I can do a google search and that loads up fine. The second I click a link from the google search, it redirects me (or tries to redirect me) to toseeka.com or bestwebchoices.com. It won't let me run malwarebytes. I've been trying all morning and I'm actually not seeing what the issue can be in HijackThis. It also won't let me install Super Anti Spyware. Here is my HijackThis log:

End of file - 7407 bytesjust read about forceware and i do not KNOW what or why you have it , but it seems

it would cause problems , but wait for an expert , harry 48Wait for an expert, but I see you have a worm....F2

sdra64.exe .............. and it's dangerous



http://www.greatis.com/appdata/d/s/sdra64.exe.htmHmmm...let me tell you about this worm and what I did to fix it.

Oddly, or shall I say bizarrely, I had to reboot my PC and when I did, I had no desktop. I clicked CTRL+ALT+DEL and found that I had no systray, explorer, etc...(everything you really need to run your computer) and restarting didn't help. I would fix it in safe mode and then it would be gone again.

Sooooo...I wiped the C drive, repartitioned and reinstalled. Whatever I had was going to cause me massive heartache in the end so I decided to just do the reinstall. I have had a few redirects, the most recent one being that Spyware Removal one, I've had my share of random crazy stuff like the one that spams everyone in your address book and then deletes said address book on my work PC...but I've never had a virus that basically made my OS cannibalize itself.

Thank you for your time and I really hope that nobody here is afflicted by whatever it is I had. download the following and you will be safe

harry If you would have waited we could have fixed this fairly easily.
