Hey RS Guru's. I'm at witt's end right now. My gf somehow has installed some sort of browser hijacking virus onto her comp. I've spent the last 6 hours reading and trying so many things with no luck.

Basically what happens is when I google something and click any link it redirects me to random sites. (ie. yellowpages, lycos, etc etc). Doesn't matter if I use IE or Firefox. Same thing happens.

I've tried the following software with ZERO luck.
MSE, AVG, Ad-Aware, Malawarebytes.

I've tried hard resetting the router thinking maybe it got hijacked. I changed the network pw and router pw. I've changed the DNS.

All with the same result.


I've googled every single process that was open in task manager and everything seemed legit.


I really don't want to format because theres alot her school data and programs, and also running windows 7 that came pre-installed with the laptop.

I've read so many forums and had no luck finding out how to get rid of it. People keep recommending different software. If anyone has had this issue that could shed some light pllllllease help me out.

Thanks in advance guys!!!!
