My google search been hacked !!!!

[Martin L]

Got I don't know what but when I do a search from a search engine, mainly
Google, when I click on a link i'm redirected briefly to" www.rdtr.com/+
garbage characters" and nothing appear. I have to press back button to go to
the site I asked for.

My AVG find trojan horse dialer.BTC about avery 5 minutes. I move it to
vault but it come back with different names with extension .tmp.exe

I also run Lavasoft AdAware, Spybot both updated to the latest,
Hostfilereader and even Hijackthis and find nothing wrong in there.

Any idea ?

Hi

These types of things are horrible. Do you have CWShredder? If this is
part of the Cool Web Search (and there's hundreds of variations) it may find
it for you. You might want to try Panda online or Symantic online scanners
too. And of course, there's the Microsoft scanner which I haven't used yet,
but it runs off the old Giant program, which was excellent - just don't let
it run in the background all the time. It can be a resource hog.

Is Spybot or HijackThis finding anything? HijackThis should show as a BHO I
think. I'd check in on the Spybot forum to see if they can help if nothing
else works. They helped me once with an awful thing that set a tiny search
bar on my computer. It took about a week of working with them to finally get
it gone for good.

Something I do that was recommended if I even think I've gotten something is
to boot into safe mode and run my scans there. Or, at the very least, make
sure you're not connected to the internet, disable System Restore, run your
scans, clean, scan again, then turn your Restore back on with a new restore
point. Many things can "hide out" in the Restore.

I'm sure that one of the pros here will have some other, probably better
advice for you. But maybe things I've done in the past will be of some help.

Google brought this up searching on ".btc +dialer", don't know if anything
there helps.

Always remember - only download files from Trusted Sites.

The following links will take you to vendors sites for Spy Ware / Ad
ware removal tools and also for Antivirus tools. After you install any
of these applications and update them, run them in SAFE MODE to allow
them to properly clean your system.

First, make sure that your Java is updated to the latest version:

These sites are for downloading Anti-Malware and Anti-Spyware tools, in
order that I would use them myself:
