BleepingComputer.com: Google and IE continuosly redirecting

I was infected by a malware program called anti malware doctor. Before learning of this website I followed a guide to remove it that I saw at another site. I think that I have successfully removed anti malware doctor however, I am now getting redirected by Google and IE when I try to navigate the web. I have been unable to stop this from happening and would really appreciate some help.

Hi,

Please do the following:

Download ComboFix from one of the following locations:
Link 1
Link 2

VERY IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here

• Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.

• Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

• Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

• Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.

Catbyte,

Thanks for your reply and your help. I followed all of your instructions and have attached the ComboFix.txt to this reply. Standing by for further instructions.

Hi,

Please do the following:


Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update.

• Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 24 and save it to your desktop.
• Scroll down to where it says JDK 6 Update 24 (JDK or JRE)
• Click the Download JRE button to the right
• Select the Windows platform from the dropdown menu.
• Read the License Agreement and then check the box that says: "I agree to the Java SE Runtime Environment 6u24 with JavaFX 1 License Agreement". Click on Continue. The page will refresh.
• Click on the link to download Windows Offline Installation and save the file to your desktop.
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.
• Go to Start > Control Panel, double-click on Add or Remove Programs and remove all older versions of Java.
• Check (highlight) any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE or Java™ 6) in the name.
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button.
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
• Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u24-windows-i586.exe to install the newest version.

• After the install is complete, go into the Control Panel (using Classic View) and double-click the Java Icon. (looks like a coffee cup)
  • On the General tab, under Temporary Internet Files, click the Settings button.
  • Next, click on the Delete Files button
  • There are two options in the window to clear the cache - Leave BOTH Checked
    Applications and Applets
    Trace and Log Files
  • Click OK on Delete Temporary Files Window
    Note: This deletes ALL the Downloaded Applications and Applets from the CACHE.
  • Click OK to leave the Temporary Files Window
  • Click OK to leave the Java Control Panel.

Please post a fresh DDS Log and Attach.txt and advise how your computer is running now and if there are any outstanding issues.

CatByte,

I removed all of the previous JAVA versions and installed the new one from your link. I attached the newest ATTACH.TXT and copied and pasted the newest DDS log. My computer seems to be running great and I have not been re-directed since we ran ComboFix. I had to uninstall AVG to run some of the stuff you asked but plan on re-installing after I hear from you again. I also have the most current MBAM update. So with the latest AVG version, MBAM and Zone Alarm are there any avenues I have left open or any additional security programs I should install? Also are there any steps I need to complete to clean up any of the programs or reset anything after the processes you have had me run? Once again thanks so much for your help up to this point. I was worried I wouldn't not be able to stop the redirection problem.

Hi,

Below I have included a number of recommendations for how to protect your computer against malware infections.

• It is good security practice to change your passwords to all your online accounts on a fairly regular basis, this is especially true after an infection. Refer to this Microsoft article
  Strong passwords: How to create and use them Then consider a password keeper, to keep all your passwords safe.
  
  
  
• Keep Windows updated by regularly checking their website at :
  http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/
  This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer.
  
  
  
• Make Internet Explorer more secure
  
  • Click Start > Run
    
  • Type Inetcpl.cpl & click OK
    
  • Click on the Security tab
    
  • Click Reset all zones to default level
    
  • Make sure the Internet Zone is selected & Click Custom level
    
  • In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls) to "Prompt", and ("Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe") to "Disable".
    
  • Next Click OK, then Apply button and then OK to exit the Internet Properties page.
  
  
  
  
• Download TFC to your desktop
  
  • Close any open windows.
    
  • Double click the TFC icon to run the program
    
  • TFC will close all open programs itself in order to run,
    
  • Click the Start button to begin the process.
    
  • Allow TFC to run uninterrupted.
    
  • The program should not take long to finish it's job
    
  • Once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine,
    
  • if it doesn't, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean
  
  It's normal after running TFC cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time.
  
  
  
• WOT, Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites:
  • Green to go
    
  • Yellow for caution
    
  • Red to stop
  WOT has an addon available for both Firefox and IE
  
  
  
• Keep a backup of your important files - Now, more than ever, it's especially important to protect your digital files and memories. This article is full of good information on alternatives for home backup solutions.
  
  
  
• ERUNT (Emergency Recovery Utility NT) allows you to keep a complete backup of your registry and restore it when needed. The standard registry backup options that come with Windows back up most of the registry but not all of it. ERUNT however creates a complete backup set, including the Security hive and user related sections. ERUNT is easy to use and since it creates a full backup, there are no options or choices other than to select the location of the backup files. The backup set includes a small executable that will launch the registry restore if needed.
  
  
  
• In light of your recent issue, I'm sure you'd like to avoid any future infections. Please take a look at this well written article:
  PC Safety and Security--What Do I Need?.

**Be very wary with any security software that is advertised in popups or in other ways. They are not only usually of no use, but often have malware in them.


Thank you for your patience, and performing all of the procedures requested.

Please respond one last time so we can consider the thread resolved and close it, thank-you.

CatByte,

Things seem to be working great. I went with your recommendation and downloaded and installed Microsoft Security Essentials. What are your feeling about Zone Alarm as a fire wall vs the windows fire wall? The only problem that I ran into when going through your housekeeping list was when I tried to update windows the update would keep failing, I listed the error message below:

The website has encountered a problem and cannot display the page you are trying to view. The options provided below might help you solve the problem. [Error number: 0x80070424]

Other than that everything seems back to normal, I truly appreciate all of your help.

CatByte,

One other issue I meant to mention in my last post is that when I reconfigured all of my security settings via windows security center it keeps showing my automatic window updater as set to off. I went into the windows security center and set my automatic windows updates to daily and hit apply and ok. It shows in the window as being set to automatically update but once I close the window I get an alert from security center saying automatic updates set to off. Also when i look at the security center i get a green light next to firewall and virus protection but a red one next to automatic updates. This seem like it could be related to the fact that I was unable to successfully update windows.

That may be a zone alarm issue, I've never used that program myself. I use the windows firewall plus I'm behind a very secure router, but then I really don't so a lot of surfing or downloading, if I'm doing it for research, then I use a virtual machine.

Uninstall Zone Alarm and see if it fixes the issue,

if that's not it, try using the "FixIt" button to reset the windows update components

If that doesn't help then follow the trouble shooting steps in this article

CatByte,

Thanks for the link for the fixit button between that and uninstalling Zone Alarm they did the trick. My computer is back in business, thanks for all of your advice and patience. I made a donation from the link in your post. Take care and enjoy the rest of your weekend.
