google redirect virus still persisting

Viruses and worms
1

I’ve used…

TrendMicro’s OfficeScan Client (0 results)

Malwarebytes multiple times with several results most of the time (found Trojans among other things)

TDSSKiller (found 1 thing once, problem still persisted but Daemon Tools now gives me some sort of error message upon restarting…haven’t tried using it so I don’t know if it still works)

Hitman Pro (found several threats and tracers) until rescanning yielded 0 results

…and I still find my Google results redirecting me. So far, I haven’t found anything wrong while using Chrome so it’s only Firefox that’s being affected (I haven’t tried using IE).

I just ran OTL and have attached the logs:

Thank you

The attachment with the string of numbers is what popped up after rebooting.

edit: Sorry, I forgot to select “scan all users” so I will upload another log in a few minutes

Sorry again

OK I can see that it snuck into the other users

On completion of this run can you let me know what problems remain

Run OTL

Thank you!

Any remaining problems ?

So I just opened Firefox for the first time since starting the first custom fix (I’ve been using Chrome) and tested it by searching something on Google. It’s still here. :frowning:

Just ran another quick scan and attached is the latest OTL log:

9

Is it only firefox ?

Please download GooredFix from one of the locations below and save it to your Desktop

Download Mirror #1
Download Mirror #2

[*]Ensure all Firefox windows are closed.
[*]To run the tool, double-click it (XP), or right-click and select Run As Administrator (Vista).
[*]When prompted to run the scan, click Yes.
[*]GooredFix will check for infections, and then a log will appear.

Please post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called GooredFix.txt).

10

Yes, only Firefox. I tried clearing the cookies and cache but it was only a temporary fix if anything…

11

Gored found it, but looks to have had problems deleting it, on completion recheck for redirects please

So lets double check

Run OTL

[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

It seems to be finally gone! Though I can’t be 100% sure since it seemed to only redirect me somewhat randomly but more so on the wiki/youtube results.

I checked the results that I remembered to have previously redirected me but this time I got to the right pages. Thank you! Any chance you would know whether I picked this up randomly or did I do something in particular to get infected like this in the first place?

Here’s the latest OTL log:

13

To be honest I am not sure how Firefox gets its malware as I have never used it

But if all is well tomorrow let me know and I will remove my tools

14

I have not encountered any problems since the last OTL custom fix yesterday–thank you!

15

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:

Run OTL
[*]Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following

:Commands [resethosts] [purity] [emptytemp] [EMPTYFLASH] [Reboot]

[*]Then click the Run Fix button at the top
[*]Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Remove ComboFix

[*]Hold down the Windows key + R on your keyboard. This will display the Run dialogue box
[*]In the Run box, type in ComboFix /Uninstall (Notice the space between the “x” and “/”) then click OK

http://i517.photobucket.com/albums/u338/Eextremeboy/CF_Uninstall-1.jpg

[]Follow the prompts on the screen
[]A message should appear confirming that ComboFix was uninstalled

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

[*]Click Start.
[*]Open My Computer.
[*]Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
[*]Select the View Tab.
[*]Under the Hidden files and folders heading select Do not show hidden files and folders.
[]Click Yes to confirm.
[]Click OK.

SPRING CLEAN

To manually create a new Restore Point

[*]Go to Control Panel and select System
[*]Select System
[*]On the left select System Protection and accept the warning if you get one
[*]Select System Protection Tab
[*]Select Create at the bottom
[*]Type in a name i.e. Clean
[*]Select Create

Now we can purge the infected ones

[*]GoStart > All programs > Accessories > system tools
[*]Right click Disc cleanup and select run as administrator
[*]Select Your main drive and accept the warning if you get one
[*]For a few moments the system will make some calculations
[*]Select the More Options tab
[*]In the System Restore and Shadow Backups select Clean up
[*]Select Delete on the pop up
[]Select OK
[]Select Delete

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

http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7729/mbamicontw5.gif

Malwarebytes. Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated. To keep your operating system up to date visit

[*]Microsoft Windows Update

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?

Keep safe :wave:

Sorry for the late reply, did you mean GooredFix? ComboFix could not be found…

17

Call me a numpty - ignore the combofix thing, we did not use it
