I have the following problem: When I visit 2 of my websites I’m being redirected to different URLs (I don’t want to post these URLs here, but they are websites with ads or a Facebook-looking website with a competition). I have already contacted the support of my hosting provider and we found out that the problem is on my end, as they have checked these 2 websites from several different locations (I also asked my friends to check them) and they loaded fine all times. My web host’s support asked me to open a command prompt on my PC a do an nslookup for those domains and this way we found out that one of these IP’s on my PC is not correct.
This happens in both my Firefox and Chrome browsers that I’m using.
What is strange is that it also happens on my iPad on Safari (I’m using the same WiFi network). Also, it is strange to me that is happens only to these 2 particular websites and everything else is working fine on my end.
I did a full-scan of my PC with Avast and Malwarebytes, but no malware was found (Avast said that some files could not be tested).
My cousin suggested me to try to do a scan with HiJackThis, so I’ve tried that. When I clicked the “Do a system scan” button, I got a warning (please see the attachment). So I’ve checked my hosts file, but I’ve not found anything unusual in it (no my sites’ URL and not the wrong IP).
I’ve also found out the following in my hijackthis log file:
O2 - BHO: URLRedirectionBHO - {B4F3A835-0E21-4959-BA22-42B3008E02FF} - C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office 15\root\Office15\URLREDIR.DLL
^ Could this be the problem?
