SpyWare: Links in google search taking me to different location

Long story short is last night I got infected by malware doctor. I've since removed the actual malware program but now when I click on a a google search link I am being redirected to other sites, primarily malware sites. How can I fix this? Thanks
 
I think I finally got it cleared out. Below is my hijack this log. See anything else supicious, I didn't. Sorry for the use of code tags but I didn't know of any other way of posting without getting the too many images error.

I can't see anything that stands out on the log there. If you keep seeing redirects, make sure the spyware didn't set a proxy (both in internet options and the winhttp proxy setting)

Also combofix +spybot + malwarebytes + AVG (or whatever av program you like) is a pretty solid combo for removing malicious software (unless you're running 64 bit, then you can't use combofix.
 
I am still getting some redirects but not as many as before. No proxy in Internet options. Where is the winhttp settings? In my TCP/IP settings enable LMHOSTS Lookup is checked. Should it be?
 
I just now found out that I can no longer open my NAS drivers. In network and sharing center I can still see the devices but in my computer I can no longer open the mapped drives. If I try to map the drive again it just tells me I cannot connect. Grrr. Ideas?
 
Further update. I think I can't reach my NAS drive anymore because now TCP/IP NetBios Helper service will not run. It's set to auto but not running. When I try to run I get error 1075 Dependency does not exist or has been marked for deletion. HELP!

Thank you
 
Have you done a Windows System Restore yet? That'll often deactivate much of the bad stuff being loaded in the Windows Registry.
 
I turned off system restore because I've never had any success in system restore actually fixing anything.
 
The "registry key marked for deletion" usually comes up when you try to run something without restarting your computer after running virus scans.
 
oh yea, and to reset your tcp/ip settings, run these in command prompt.

netsh winhttp reset proxy
netsh int ip reset.
netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /flushdns

then restart computer.
