I've recently come across a nasty virus, which included a browser hijacker. It seems to affect multiple browsers, as the same homepage appears in firefox, as well as google chrome. Reinstalling firefox didn't help.
I've run AVG, Malwarebytes and hitmanpro, and none of them have managed to find this thing. It's not in the addons folder, it's not in add or remove programs list, i am completely out of ideas. Every other part of the virus has seemingly been removed, except this. Someone went through a lot of trouble to make sure that i see "funny collection" as my homepage on every browser.
As far as i can tell my options are to either go through every single one of my proccesses indivudually, and weed out whatever's causing this, or just go for a clean install.
I've read that the hijackthis log could help, so if anyone knowledgeable could maybe take a look at it, that would be great. http://pastebin.com/BNrHwjPB
I usually never go out and ask for help on sites like this, but i am completely stumped by this, i would be really, really grateful for whoever can help me with this.
