A little history on my problem of the last few days. Basically my IE homepage has been changed to a search page. Even though it's still shown as my regular start page of about:blank, it still shows the search page. I get bombarded with ad popups if I'm not using a blocker.
I've tried the following (all updated versions of each):
1) Ran AVG numerous times, been clean all but twice: BackDoor.Agent.BA and Downloader.Swizzor.AH. Noticed Swizzor was coming from C:\ProgramFiles\C2Media. Manually deleted that directory.
2) Ran Adaware, Spybot, NoAdware: All found nothing
3) Cleared with Tracks Eraser Pro, which had cleared off lop.com awhile ago. Nothing.
4) Re-ran Spyware Blaster. Nothing.
5) Noticed Class3SoftwarePublishers keeps re-adding itself into TempIntFiles.
6) Tried System Restore from an earlier safe point, all 3 safe points failed to restore.
7) Checked Startup via MSconfig, running processes, Add/Remove Programs, and saw nothing unusual.
8) Ran CWS Shredder. Nothing.
9) Stopped using IE, which I should have done awhile ago
Anyways, here is my log:
