If you unplug the TV from the computer, does it start working correctly?

* Anyone other than the originator of this thread, you would be best advised to not run combofix without guidance from someone trained in its use. It is a very powerful tool that can cause damage to your computer if used wrong.

Run comboFix.exe. Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool:

* Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix. Also make sure you close all your browsers just before the instructions tell you to start the scanner.

Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review.

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix''s window while it''s running. That may cause it to stall

DDS doesn't tell me anything other than it doesn't detect a problem. Ccleaner just removes temporary files that can sometime cause the problem you see. Rkill is meant to kill some malware that can cause your problem but can protect itself from being removed. TDSSKiller tells me that the problem you have is not the TLD4 rootkit.

I know that it seems confusing and that we do not seem to be getting anywhere, but the problem that you are having can be caused by a half dozen or so different pieces of malware. Almost all of the problems leave no trace that they have been installed, except that you get redirected. All of the programs I am having you run search out and destroy a certain type of malware that can cause this problem. But because there are so many kinds that can cause this problem, the accepted practice is to start with the program that can cause the least problem to the program  that can do the heaviest lifting and the most damage if run incorrectly.

Combofix looks at your computer for certain signs of a problem. If it does it fixes that. Sometimes by deleting files, sometimes by replacing files with stored originals, sometimes it finds and does nothing. I know the warning I posted can be a little  worrying, but as long as you follow the instructions step by step you will be OK. I have run every program that I recommend on my own computer, so I know they are safe.

Just so that you know, I am going to be leaving the area on Thursday July 5 in the AM and I will be getting home on Sunday July 8 in the PM. If you post a response or send me a PM I will not be able to respond. There is no internet connection where I am going so I will be totally out of contact.
