Need help to remove http://isearch.fantastigames.com/ re-direct virus

Viruses and worms
1

Windows 7

Firefox 22.0

IE 9

Chrome 28

Have only noticed the problem on Firefox and IE. Can go into settings and change home page but it will revert back to a version of isearch.fantastigames.com

Adwcleaner log attached.

The other fixes i’ve found online don’t work. Unable to find any trace of the files or program itself to delete.

Thanks!

any change after you run AdwCleaner?

also run a quick scan with Malwarebytes, and then OTL… attach logs here

3

mbam log attached

and OTL log ?

you did not answer my question above…

OTL Log (sorry had to step out for a bit).

So far I’m not seeing it hijack the browser again. Let me browse around a bit and see if i can get it to occur again.

6

Went and hit about 20 sites real quick on firefox and ie. Not seeing it pop back in.

This happened a bit yesterday after I’d manually reset the homepage to google it would work for a while, then late last night it popped up again. Will report back.

a expert will check your OTL log any minute now…

How is the computer behaving ?

Seems to be working fine. I’ll keep playing with it and report any further issues. (It’s my nephews laptop and apparently they’ve had this problem for a few months).

Thanks again for your help essexboy!

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

Clear Restore Points

Go Start > All Programmes > Accessories > System tools
Right click Disc Cleanup and select run as administrator
When it pops up at the first prompt select OK after it has done some calculations the tabs will appear
Select More Options tab
Press Sytem Restore and Shadow Copies Cleanup button

: Keep Java Updated :

WARNING: Java is the #1 exploited program at this time. The Department of Homeland Security recommends that computer users disable Java
See this article and this article.
I would recommend that you completely uninstall Java unless you need it to run an important software.
In that instance I would recommend that you disable Java in your browsers until you need it for that software and then enable it. (See How to diasble Java in your web browser and How to unplug Java from the browser)

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

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

If you use on-line banking then as an added layer of protection install Trusteer Rapport

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
