not my machine, but coworker's (windows 7 pro SP1)
both IE and Firefox yahoo.com homepages redirect to fl.yahoo.com=pl (not sure about the last characters, but it doesn't look like the normal yahoo Finland website.

MSE didn't pick up anything
malwarebytes cleaned 3 adware

no proxy active in settings.
machine language and location are ok: US/ English

could use some help with hijackthis log:

Could be one of 2 things.

1. redirect infection
2. infected hosts file

So lets do the following.

1.

Please download and run TDSSkiller

When the program opens, click on the start scan button.

tdssstartscan_zps32a151cd.jpg


TDSSKiller will now scan your computer for the TDSS infection. When the scan has finished it will display a result screen stating whether or not the infection was found on your computer. If it was found it will display a screen similar to the one below.

To remove the infections simply click on the Continue button and TDSSKiller will attempt to clean them or remove them.

After trying to clean them it will pop up with the results of the scan and its actions.

2663_3_en.png


Please reboot the system if asked to do so.

After running there will be a log that will be located at the root of your c:\ drive labeled tdsskiller with a series of numbers after it example, C:\TDSSKiller.2.4.7_23.07.2010_15.31.43_log.txt

Please open the log and copy and paste it back here.

2.

Navigate to C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc and in that folder will be a file named hosts. Right click on that file and open it using notepad, then copy and paste the contents back here.

sorry for late reply, didn't see the computer all weekend. coworker brought it in to work today. started it up in safe mode w/networking. tdsskiller didn't find anything. also ran hitman pro and nothing. i reset both IE and firefox settings to default and everything looks just right.

i did check the host list the first time around, just forgot to mention it. there was nothing unusual there.

not sure why yahoo redirected to the finland page, but i read that sometimes it can get confused about where an IP is coming from and serves the wrong location.

anyways. looks good. thanks for all
