Ok it looks like i have some malware.

When i open the odd hyperlink, i get redirected to a page that has an ip in the address bar, and it pretends to do a scan on my computer.
I can't cancel out and have to End Task on iexplorer.exe

It's exactly like this:

Funny thing is, so far its happened exclusively to Guardian (news site) links.

Anyway, i have Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and it only returns some false positives (log file below)

I also use SpyBot S&D, it finds a few things.
I also use Avast (free version, updated) and it finds nothing.
My DNS isn't being redirected and there's nothing in hosts file.

What do you think?

Can you first try all those tests again (especially the Malwarebytes bit) in 'Safe Mode with Networking' if you haven't already? Do you think Avast was running and up-to-date when this infection started?

Yeah, i suppose i'll have to try it.

yes, but there was like 10 minutes between when i downloaded/installed the upgrade (new version), and the mandatory reboot.
So my computer would have been unprotected for a narrow window of time.

Nothing found in SAFE mode:

You had some common low risk trojans and malwarebytes quarantined and then deleted them.

It would be great if that were true, but between my 1st Malware Bytes scan and the 2nd one (done in SAFE mode), i had another link for the Guardian newssite, get re-directed.

The 2nd Malware Bytes scan didn't detect anything.

A common way to get rid of some of the more stubborn viruses is to use the rkill program first to terminate any infected processes before running Malwarebytes again. This gives Malwarebytes (and other virus checkers) a better chance of detecting some viruses that might otherwise stay hidden. Can you try that? Rkill will produce a log in C:\rkill.log so post that too.

Do a scan with super anti spyware the free one.
