Hardware VERY urgent issue

[xcalibur]

I don't know what the hell happened to my browser but for some reason every time I try to go to any URL via the address bar it redirects me to a blank page of which the title bar says "Error Lander"

Here is the address bar after i try to visit my homepage :

http://www.megaclick.com/notfound/?lg=en&type=dns&tbtype=megaup&q=http://en-us.start2.mozilla.com/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official

Here is my log file of hijack this :

The only reason I am able to post this topic is because I'm already on GBAtemp. Apparently i can still follow around links...

Off the top of my head, try this: http://www.intermute.com/spysubtract/cwshr...r_download.html

Alright, from your updated post, you have a spyware program called megaclick. Have you tried running spybot and ad-aware?

Have you tried a different browser?

Get Spybot and try running a scan with that.

What is spybot and ad-aware?

Lol, just joking. I'm running them both as we speak, a full system scan so it might take a little bit.
IE7 and MSN both don't work but Utorrent does...
Hopefully I'll find the spyware.

Why would someone do something like that? :'(
Guess I'll have to spam GBAtemp while i wait.

Welcome to the internet. Make sure to run a full scan too, not a quick one. Want to make sure to search all the nook and crannies.

Do you have any antivirus software? I would recommend getting some.

Avira for free, or nod32 for 39.99.

I'm using Avast at the moment, the professional version.
Should i switch from that to nod32?
I've heard great things from both.

EDIT: YAY!

Apparently Spybot and Ad-Aware found nothing but i did delete some negligable items in the Ad-Aware results screen and that seemed to have solved my problem.
Going to go eat some pizza before turning in.
G'nite guys.

P.S.: PIZZA! nom nom nom nom

Glad you got rid of the bugger.
