Browser hijacked

Windows 7
Browser was hijacked and lots of tool bars and redirects.

Tdsskiller came back negative

Avast had 2 viruses detected (Win32 Dropper Gen)

See attached logs

more logs

Lots of RED in the aswmbr scan :-\

Could you open the OTL log on your desktop and select Save as… Then select ANSI encoding. Once saved could you re attach

ansi version attached

;D

Thanks

Download the attached fix.txt to your desktop
Run OTL and press Run Fix
A dialogue will open asking for the location of fix.txt
Navigate to the desktop and select it
Press run fix again

THEN

Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your desktop.

about to run adware cleaner.

Ran into some issues while running OTL.

  1. got some popups about things trying to connect to interent (appeared to be from firewall - I said NO)
  2. OTL froze and computer Blue screened. Got it back and reran - see the two logs attached.

3)Avast then started claiming aswmbr program was a virus?

running adware cleaner…will post back shortly.

ok did 2 scans with adwarecleaner

(I thought I screwed up the first scan) :-X

Looks like OTL did the job, albeit in two stages :slight_smile:

How is the computer behaving at the moment

giving it the 24four test…ill let you know soon. :wink:

everythings seems good sir. :smiley:

Is it cleanup time or do we have some more checks?

In that case methinks I will send you on your merry way :slight_smile:

Subject to no further problems :slight_smile:

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean :thumbsup:

A good workman always cleans up after himself so…The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Download and run Delfix

Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

CryptoPrevent install this programme to lock down and prevent crypto ransome ware

Malwarebytes.

Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.
