Yahoo! unwanted pages

[nyck]

My PC was really lagging and when i was clicking Yahoo search results it would keep taking me to different web page (normally some shopping website)
I done a system restore and this helped with the lagging but not the Yahoo thing
I tried Advanced Systemcare and it found lots of problems but the Yahoo thing still happens
Google seems ok and i'm running Firefox

I've included the Hijack this log file ,It means nothing to me but it might to you

thanks nyck

I would look at installing Vipre 15-day free trial from sunbeltsoftware. Boot into safe mode and do a deep scan. Then logon as admin and using vipre tools, check startup processes and host file entries.

I've done that and it found/clear quite a lot of Trojans etc
Startup processes was ok
Host files had these listed
Local host
ad.ghura.pl
ircgalaxy.pl
ru.brans.pl
zief.pl

I think the last 4 may be the problem but i dont know how to sort it

thanks nyck

They need to be deleted,

I thought you can edit the hosts file directly in Vipre, if not on XP the file is located in,

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Just open it in notepad, delete the lines you don't need, save it and give your PC a reboot.
