Spotresults and ZestyFinder Hell

[Renato Aldi]

Dear All,

I am trapped in spotresults and zestyfinder hell! Every time I try to
visit ANY website, I am redirected to spotresults.com or
zestyfinder.com!! They changed my homepage and favorites list as well! I
tried anti spyware programs such as Spybot S&D, Ad-Aware, Spyware
Blaster and updated them before I run it, but none of them worked. What
should I do to get rid this problem?

I am not an expert, if you can please give me a simple solution. Thank
you very much.

Looks like a new variant.

Go to http://www.spywareinfo.com/downloads.php#det
Download "Hijack This!" [freeware] or download direct (below):
http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis.zip

If you get a 404 error or Access denied, try:
http://216.180.252.218/~spywareinfo.com/downloads/tools/hijackthis.zip

Unzip, double-click "HijackThis.exe" and Press "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log"
button.
Click: "Save Log" (generates "hijackthis.log")

Next, HijackThis | Config [button] | Misc Tools [button]
Click: Generate StartupList log [button] (generates "startuplist.txt")

Next, go to the below location:

You should install Norton Antivirus 2004 (it can be a trial version).
Then click LiveUpdate, and then Scan your disk. Norton is removing
this sh*t.

And I have an another idea. Install HijackThis. Then click on those
positions:
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
www.spotresults.com/
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page =
www.spotresults.com/

I don't know what to do with Zestyfind (if Norton won't work)
