Spywareinfo is a very helpful site.

My problem was:

In MS Internet Explorer, Google search result websites navigate to a different website from that selected.
Happens twice, then navigates to correct website. Homepage not affected.

Initially had Avant browser getting uncommanded start and filling up with pages showing URL referring to 'bestmanage': with little Ferrari logo on tab. Got rid of the Avant problem by running Superantispyware in safe mode.

Attempted to resolve IE problem as follows:
Ran AVG, Adaware, Spybot, Superantispyware & AVG Antispyware,
Also compared msconfig with Pacman's list (had RunDLL32 - now unchecked) and looked at run in regedit.
Ran Hijack this, checked against BHO list and fixed an unknown BHO. Tried the analyser at: http://www.hijackthis.de/ and fixed some further suggestions.
There are transient references in MS IE to maxifiles and fresh-weather.

IE redirection still occurring.

Downloaded FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/file...Fixwareout.exe

After FixWare my problem seemed to be resolved.
I then:
dbl clicked dnsbak.reg
Ran Kapersky which found about 14 viruses, over 300 infected items and about 60 suspicious items. I presume these were already quarantined.
Ran CCleaner


Really thought I was in for a reformat but it was still a bit of a kerfuffle getting rid of the adware.
