I'm not completely sure how but I have a virus on my Dell laptop that hijacks all google or yahoo (others probably) searches. If I cut and paste the websites instead of clicking on the hyperlink then it's usually okay. Also, I cannot create a system restore point. I'm told to toggle the capability and reboot but have already done so. I'm not sure what else since it's not been that long. I have run numerous anti-virus checks and have deleted some things. I've also deleted cookies and files and the like. CCClean also. But, something is still hijacking my web searches and preventing the restore points.
I've attached my Hijackthis.log file. Thank you for any help you can give me. Cheers!
Run the setup.exe file, When it gets to the final step of the installation it will seem like it froze....it hasn't but it will take anywhere from 15mins to an hour to get through that step so just let it do its thing. Go into the Malware folder in through Program Files Rename the mbam.exe or what not file to mab.exe update and run it. Do a full computer scan Check all and remove/fix/delete them.
I'm running the scan now. However, it didn't go quite according to what you said. It never froze like you said it would. It went straight through with no delay. It's already covered about 25000 objects and has found 2 of them infected so far.
I did want to add something that I just remembered. My AVG file also says that control file is missing. I am pretty sure it's related to this virus or spyware infection.
I might be going to bed pretty soon. I wanted to thank you - wish you a Happy Thanksgiving - and let you know I'll be back to follow through tomorrow, if I do decide to duck out. Cheers!

Now, to start with, I don't believe any of the RegistrySmart items are viruses or spyware. I believe I downloaded it as a tool to get better and the Malware application thought they were a problem. Is that correct?
Also, on the line that has a heuristics.reserved.word.exploit issue with svchost.dwy, I wanted to see if I created a problem. I suspected this file and could not delete it so renamed it from an executable (svchost.exe). Did I screw things up? I have a feeling it was deleted and maybe that will come back to bite me.
Lastly, what kind of Trojan Agent did I have? A TDSS? What's that?
Thanks so much for all of your help. I'd been messing with it by myself way too long. If I'm not mistaken I did try to run this but it would not launch. Last question: is that why you had me rename the application to mab from mbam? Thanks again.
Important-> Temporarily disable your anti-virus, real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with combofix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
Go to Start->Run and copy/paste: ComboFix /snapshot and hit OK. It should run Combofix.
Please note, that once you start combofix you should not click anywhere on the combofix window as it can cause the program to stall. In fact, when combofix is running, do not touch your computer at all and just take a break as it may take a while for it to complete.
When finished, it will produce a logfile located at C:\combofix.txt.
Thanks for your help and follow through on this problem. It's much appreciated. Here is the log file from ComboFix.
