browsers redirected to a search site

So when I search on google for "drumkit from hell" (hoping to start a metal band but our drummer backed out so I was searching for alternatives) everything comes up like normal but when I click on the first link, (www.toontrack.com/products.asp?item=11) <-- that appears on the address bar. Then, before the page opens, this appears in the address bar
"http://www.find-fast-answers.com/jump1/?affiliate=mstorn90&subid=b75200&terms=plu&sid=Z655044845%40%40QMfVDO0UTN5QDNfJDMyQjMfdjMfdjMx81MycDO4UDMxMTM&a=zfgbea40&mr=1&rc=0&tr=Z210043227v02bj5yclh2YyFWZztGMwEzLvoDc0RHa"

but this doesn't open and then I end up on this page "http://63.209.69.107/search/web/plu/a10/mstorn90-b75200/v5"

I recently searched for plu on google which is what that site is displaying results for.

Now recently I may have attempted to downloaded a keygen for sony acid xpress and when i may have tried to run this program it may have done nothing and then my problems may have started after that. Now if this possible scenario may be the cause, I may have the rar file that this keygen was contained in if it would be any help in identifying and removing the cause of this redirection.

Also, I have norton anti-virus and it can't find this cause of this and i scanned the keygen that i may have downloaded before using it only to be told that it is safe by norton.

I tried using internet explorer and it gets redirected like firefox.

Thanks for any help

The file is randomly named to help keep malware from blocking the scanner.


Now reboot to Normal and run MBAM (MalwareBytes):

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.
Download Link 1
Download Link 2MBAM may "make changes to your registry" as part of its disinfection routine. If using other security programs that detect registry changes (ie Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere or alert you. Temporarily disable such programs or permit them to allow the changes.

• Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
• Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  For instructions with screenshots, please refer to the How to use Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Guide.
• When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
• When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

• Then click Finish.

MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.

• If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
• If you encounter any problems while downloading the definition updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.

On the Scanner tab:

• Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
• Then click on the Scan button.
• If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.

• Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply. Be sure to post the complete log to include the top portion which shows MBAM's database version and your operating system.
• Exit MBAM when done.

Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be asked to reboot your computer so MBAM can proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Troubleshoot Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Please ask any needed questions,post logs and Let us know how the PC is running now.

Ok ,remove the Sony troublemaker or we may not get it clean.

...One of the most aggressive and intrusive of all bad websites on the Internet are serial, warez, software cracking type sites...they sneak malware onto your system...Where do trojan viruses originate? One of the biggest malware distributors on the Internet are serial/warez/code cracking sites.

Bad Web Sites: Malware

When you use these kind of programs, be forewarned that some of the worst types of malware infections can be contracted and spread by visiting crack, keygen, warez and other pirated software sites. In many cases, those sites are infested with a smörgåsbord of malware and an increasing source of system infection. Those who attempt to get software for free can end up with a computer system so badly damaged that recovery is not possible and it cannot be repaired. When that happens there is nothing you can do besides reformatting and reinstalling the OS.

Before we can continue, I need you to remove all cracks and keygens immediately to reduce the risk of infection/reinfection. If not, then we are just wasting time trying to clean your system. Further, other tools used during the disinfection process may detect crack and keygens so we need to ensure they have been removed.

Using these types of programs or the websites you visited to get them is almost a guaranteed way to get yourself infected!!

okay so I got rid of the redirecting virus by doing a system restore which I was forced to do because something I removed made it so I couldn't boot. It would just fail and then restart. I need to remove most of the stuff again so do you know what I removed that was the problem? something installed itself in the registry and I think that could be the cause. I'm gonna do some research because I know absolutely nothing about it.

OK that makes sense then. I think you should still run ESET as the restore may have taken out the one iten but restored others. They may not be redirecting malwares but things like downloaders etc... that may start your troubles all over.

I ran eset and the other antivirus programs and removed everything except the cookies and the adware thing that was installed in the registry. I got rid of some trojans but I think two of the three were false positives. but thanks for all the help. my computer should be pretty clean now and I'll use these programs if I have problems and use them to scan files before I use them. Also, I'll try to stay away from the keygens haha

thanks

Also, I'll try to stay away from the keygens haha.. I'll tell you I've seen more than 100 machines here that picked up a Virut infection that can only be cleaned with a format.



If there are no more problems or signs of infection, you should Create a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one. Some of the malware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore. Since this is a protected directory your tools cannot access to delete these files, they sometimes can reinfect your system if you accidentally use an old restore point. Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean working state.

The easiest and safest way to do this is:

• Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
• Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the R.P. a name, then click "Create". The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.

• Then use Disk Cleanup to remove all but the most recently created Restore Point.
• Go to Start > Run and type: Cleanmgr
• Click "Ok". Disk Cleanup will scan your files for several minutes, then open.
• Click the "More Options" tab, then click the "Clean up" button under System Restore.
• Click Ok. You will be prompted with "Are you sure you want to delete all but the most recent restore point?"
• Click Yes, then click Ok.
• Click Yes again when prompted with "Are you sure you want to perform these actions?"
• Disk Cleanup will remove the files and close automatically.

Vista Users can refer to these links: Create a New Restore Point and Disk Cleanup.

Tips to protect yourself against malware and reduce the potential for re-infection:

• Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe.
• How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!.
• Hardening Windows Security - Part 1 & Part 2.
• Configuring Internet Explorer for Practical Security and Privacy - How to Secure Your Web Browser.
• Your Guide To Staying Safe Online.
• Use Task Manager to close pop-up messages to safely exit malware attacks.

• Avoid gaming sites, pirated software, cracking tools, keygens, and peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs. They are a security risk which can make your computer susceptible to a smörgåsbord of malware infections, remote attacks, exposure of personal information, and identity theft. Many malicious worms and Trojans spread across P2P file sharing networks, gaming and underground sites. Users visiting such pages may see innocuous-looking banner ads containing code which can trigger pop-up ads and malicious Flash ads that install viruses, Trojans and spyware. Ads are a target for hackers because they offer a stealthy way to distribute malware to a wide range of Internet users. The best way to reduce the risk of infection is to avoid these types of web sites and not use any P2P applications. Read P2P Software User Advisories and Risks of File-Sharing Technology.

• Keeping Autorun enabled on USB and other removable drives has become a significant security risk due to the increasing number of malware variants that can infect them and transfer the infection to your computer. To learn more about this risk, please read:

• USB-Based Malware Attacks.
• When is AUTORUN.INF really an AUTORUN.INF?.
• Please disable Autorun asap!.

God luck out there!!

Thank you so much for these detailed instructions because they fixed my browser redirection issue. It took me two run through's following the instructions but I did just as Boopme explained, step by step, and in the order listed, and the instructions fixed my issue. The first time I ran through I couldn't get my new Dell to go into safe mode, but I read the safe mode instructions from microsoft and I once I went into safe mode it was eset that caught the Redirect/trojan.

Thanks again!
