Happy New Year. Please help me start off on the right foot
I am graphics artist who has had my google searches redirected. I am very sure it has something to do with "ecata.info".
I have run a number of spyware programs (portable and otherwise) but to no avail.
Thanks for this site - I hope there is hope. I have read a number of posts so have done a few prelim steps already......logs follow. Note that the warnings that combofix issued were noted.
EDIT: I deleted wdmaud.sys (the phony one) and stiil being redirected.
