Pyree, you're very welcome. I am not Chinese but I have nothing but respect for Chinese culture. My daughter is also half Chinese so I have learned a great deal about culture through her grandparents. Even though I am not with my daughters mother anymore, I still follow many traditions. In fact, I will be giving my daughter's grandparents a red envelope with 8 quarters and a moon cake with 2 yolk. I love moon cakes!
Back to business, Nikorr, I have scanned my entire C drive (It's the only one I have) and it found just one error. It is a Malware file for a program that i have downloaded from Cnet. However, being that I never actually installed the program yet, it can't be the problem. I deleted the file anyway and my searches are still being hijacked.
Aford, for obvious reasons, I will try the easiest one first. Here is the log from hijackthis. If this does not help, I will try the AVG rescue disk and then removing the hard drive if need be.
