[Cromew]

Hi All,

I will try to explain my problem as best as possible. I am running Firefox (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7 (.NET CLR 3.5.30729)) and, about 20 hours ago, I started noticing that my Google searches were occasionally being redirected to different advertisement site. In these cases, I notice activity (at the bottom of the browser window) from Google. I have run Malwarebytes and Super Anti-Spyware in safe mode, and those logs are posted below, as is my HijackThis log. I was encouraged by one individual to use ComboFix (something I have never used before), but I am not comfortable with doing that on my own for fear of false positives. Additionally, if this helps, I did have an instance yesterday where Adobe Reader tried to up in Firefox without any action from me. Finally, I did check for odd-looking Add/Remove programs items, but I found none.

I have never posted on here before, so please let me know if I need to provide any more information or complete any additional steps before you can help me. Below are my logs.
