BrownEyedBlonde Is a beginner here at D-A-L
Unhappy [Active] Browser hijacked amungst other things.

It all started when I was browsing and must of clicked on some wrong link and my avast went crazy telling me of viruses and malware and so forth and froze the computer. I was forced to reboot the computer and I was infected with RootKit Trojan. Avast seemed to do nothing to the Win32:RootKit Trojan. I did a ton of Boot Scans that didn't seem to do anything. I still got warning from avast of this Trojan. I came on here and signed up and followed all the instructions in the intro post.

I ran Spybot S & D and got rid of a ton of files before rebooting and after rebooting. It seemed to get rid of everything, nothing was left behind that it found. I then ran Avast Boot scanner and it finally seemed to have gotten rid of 4 RootKit files. It seemed all better except when I restarted the computer it gives me this message. Something like "There was an error and seekapp132.exe has to terminate." I have no idea what that program is.

The CD drives and my secondary G:hard drive all seem to be working fine again, as they didn't work before I ran Spybot. Then when I go on the internet in both Explorer and Firefox, I search for something in google and it redirects me to an ad page instead of the intended link. SeekZilla seemed to pop up the most amongst other ads.

Then I went and downloaded Hijack this to follow that step and I get this exact message.:

"The application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this."

It didn't even seem to install at all because it's not in the add or remove list. But it is in the program list and under the Program Files folder all there is is Hijackthis.exe file at 387.kb .I'm not sure what to do at this point. I would much appreciate some help in this matter. It's been a rough few days.
