BleepingComputer.com: BROWER REDIRECT PROBLEMS

Hello,
I am getting redirected when I click on the results from any browser ( Google, Bing). I have run DDS as well as Malware Bytes and Hijack this. Posted are the requested DDS logs. GMER keeps crashing in the middle of the run. Will try again after posting.

Help cleaning this nasty is most appreciated.

Hello and Welcome to the forums!

My name is Gringo and I'll be glad to help you with your computer problems.

Somethings to remember while we are working together.

• Do not run any other tool untill instructed to do so!
  
• please Do not Attach logs or put in code boxes.
  
• Tell me about any problems that have occurred during the fix.
  
• Tell me of any other symptoms you may be having as these can help also.
  
• Do not run anything while running a fix.
  
• Do not run any other tool untill instructed to do so!

Click on the Watch Topic Button and select Immediate Notification and click on proceed, this will help you to get notified faster when I have replied and make the cleaning process faster.

Please print out or make a copy in notpad of any instructions given, as sometimes it is necessary to go offline and you will lose access to them.

Run Combofix:

You may be asked to install or update the Recovery Console (Win XP Only) if this happens please allow it to do so (you will need to be connected to the internet for this)

Before you run Combofix I will need you to turn off any security software you have running, If you do not know how to do this you can find out >here< or >here<

Combofix may need to reboot your computer more than once to do its job this is normal.

You can download Combofix from one of these links.

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

1. Close any open browsers or any other programs that are open.
2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
When finished, it will produce a report for you.

Note 1: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall

Note 2: If you recieve an error "Illegal operation attempted on a registery key that has been marked for deletion." Please restart the computer

"information and logs"

In your next post I need the following


• Log from Combofix
  
• let me know of any problems you may have had
  
• How is the computer doing now?

Gringo

Thank you Gringo,

attached is the Combofix log. The redirects seemed diminished but I am not convinced I am clean yet. I had to remove AVG Free to run Combofix and want to know what you would recommend to replace it or should I just reinstall it?

The computer boots and seem sto run much faster after combofix has run AND I removed AVG Free. Conincidence?

I also want to know what, if anything, you see in the log and whatis is/was,and where you see it so I can understand better.

Many thanks,

Chris

Hola Gringo,

Just to let you know i installed Windows Security Essentials in place of AVG free for now until I get some recommendations for protective software.

I run MBAM about once a week or so and I run Adaware almost nightly. What suite of programs and methods do you suggest?

Thanks,

Chris

Greetings

I like MSE alot better at this time over AVG it is in my top three

Good That cleaned up some bad guys but I see some other stuff that we need to go after, so I want you to run this custom script for me.

:Run CFScript:

Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the box into the window:

File::
c:\windows\system32\spdwnwxpx.dll

Save it to your desktop as CFScript.txt

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe

This will let ComboFix run again.
Restart if you have to.
Save the produced logfile to your desktop.

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall

"information and logs"

In your next post I need the following


• report from Combofix
  
• let me know of any problems you may have had
  
• How is the computer doing now after running the script?

Gringo

Here comes combofix script log

Problems : couldnt close a IE7 window a few minutes ago. Had to use end program in task manager. No redirect noticed at the moment. Still seems a little sluggish in IE7 but that could be my slow DSL. IDK.

Also should I be seeing DiscUpdMgr.exe in the active processes?

It also seems like I have a lot of leftover bits floating around from deleted or uninstalled software that I cant get rid of. AVG free icons are still in my program menu. Any suggestions for a clean up?

Thank you

Chris

If you don't like Adobe Reader (53 MB), you can download Foxit PDF Reader(7 MB) from here. It's a much smaller file to download and uses a lot less resources than Adobe Reader.

Hey Gringo,
Adobe J2SE Viewpoint & Wild Tangent have been removed. Adobe and Java reinstalled.

Logs pasted here. The only nagging things I see at the moment are an occasional lagging of the mouse pointer(not sure whats up here) and some slow website loading.(not sure it that PC or DSL related)

While I was waiting for your reply I was thinking...

what do you thing about Ad Aware as a compliment to MSE and Malwarebytes.

I am trying to come up with a good suite of tools to sweep my computers to keep them clean, fast, and happy.

Hello

The Online scan is only reporting backups created during the course of this fix C:\Qoobox\Quarantine\, and/or items located in System Restore's cache C:\System Volume Information\, Whatever is in these folders can't harm you unless you choose to perform a manual restore. the following steps will remove these backups.


Very well done!! This is my general post for when your logs show no more signs of malware - Please let me know if you still are having problems with your computer and what these problems are.


The following procedure will implement some cleanup procedures. It will also reset your System Restore by flushing out previous restore points and create a new restore point. It will also remove all the backups our tools may have made.

Any programs and logs that are left over you can just be deleted from the desktop. TFC is a free temp file cleaner that is very easy to use, I would keep this and use before you do any scans or when you want to free up some space.

:Make Firefox more secure:

please visit this page to explain how to make Firefox more secure - How to Secure Firefox

Make sure your applications have all of their updates

It is also possible for other programs on your computer to have security vulnerability that can allow malware to infect you. Therefore, it is also a good idea to check for the latest versions of commonly installed applications that are regularly patched to fix vulnerabilities. You can check these by visiting Secunia Software Inspector


:Turn On Automatic Updates:

Turn On Automatic Updates
1. Click Start, click Run, type sysdm.cpl, and then press ENTER.
2. Click the Automatic Updates tab, and then click to select one of the following options. We recommend that you select the Automatic (recommended) Automatically download recommended updates for my computer and install them

If you click this setting, click to select the day and time for scheduled updates to occur. You can schedule Automatic Updates for any time of day. Remember, your computer must be on at the scheduled time for updates to be installed. After you set this option, Windows recognizes when you are online and uses your Internet connection to find updates on the Windows Update Web site or on the Microsoft Update Web site that apply to your computer. Updates are downloaded automatically in the background, and you are not notified or interrupted during this process. An icon appears in the notification area of your taskbar when the updates are being downloaded. You can point to the icon to view the download status. To pause or to resume the download, right-click the icon, and then click Pause or Resume. When the download is completed, another message appears in the notification area so that you can review the updates that are scheduled for installation. If you choose not to install at that time, Windows starts the installation on your set schedule.

or visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.

:antispyware programs:

I would reccomend the download and installation of some or all of the following programs (all free), and the updating of them regularly:

• WinPatrol As a robust security monitor, WinPatrol will alert you to hijackings, malware attacks and critical changes made to your computer without your permission. WinPatrol takes snapshot of your critical system resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without your knowledge.
  
  
• Spyware Blaster - By altering your registry, this program stops harmful sites from installing things like ActiveX Controls on your machines.
  
  
• Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is a new and powerful anti-malware tool. It is
  totally free but for real-time protection you will have to pay a small one-time fee. We used this to help clean your computer and recomend keeping it and using often.

Here is some great reading about how to be safer online:

Grongo, Before you bolt..

It seems my internet has slowed a great deal today. I have 10 instances of svchost.exe in my processes tab of task manager. Variously they are affiliated with SYSTEM, LOCAL SERVICE, and NETWORK SERVICE are these to be concerned about?

I will read and follow your e-mail and will report results.

Thanks for everything,

Chris
