BleepingComputer.com: Browser Redirect

I am also a victim of the browser redirect issue. When I use any of my browsers, I am eventually redirected to some random sites. I've tried to run SuperAntiSpyWare and Malwarebytes without success. Now I'm turning to you - you are my only hope. Thanks in advance for helping. Please let me know the steps you wish me to follow and I'll be precise in following your instructions.

I wanted to add also that I tried the TDSSKiller.exe and it would only open 80% and then attempt to send an error message to Microsoft. Once or twice it did appear to scan but I don't trust the results since it did not run smoothly. It would not initialize more than 80% each time.

Just a quick reply to let you know that I'm running the scans and I'll post as soon as they complete. The first scan, dds, ran perfectly but the GMER made my computer shut down with a blue screen with some warning about how windows had to shut down to protect my computer. Not sure. The computer needed to be restarted. I'll run the GMER again tonight and post the logs in the morning. Thanks.

Interesting side note: I could not post this log from my infected computer. It would not finalize the posting. Not sure why.

I even tried to email it to myself so I could post it from another computer but it would not attach the dds files. I did manage to put the dds report on my flash drive and move it over to other computer and so here it is. Please let me know what the next step is and thanks again, Budapest, for pointing me in the right direction.

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.

Hi,
Earlier on ComboFix installed the Recovery Console. We're going to use that now.

• Reboot your machine and when the Boot Menu flashes up - select "Microsoft Windows Recovery Console"
  (you need to be very fast with the arrow key as you only have a couple of seconds before it defaults to the windows XP bootup)
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
  
• When you get to the above screen, take note of the number that references your operating system.
  
  
• If it's '1' like the picture above, type 1 and press Enter
  
• It will then prompt you for the Administrator's password. If there is no password, simply press enter.
  Otherwise type in the password and then press enter.
  
  
  
  
  
• Next type FIXMBR
  
  
  
  
  
• If it asks if you're sure you want to write a new MBR, answer 'Y'
  
• Then type EXIT to reboot the machine.

NEXT

• Please open your MalwareBytes AntiMalware Program
  
• Click the Update Tab and search for updates
  
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  
• Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
  
• The scan may take some time to finish, so please be patient.
  
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. <-- very important
  
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart. (See Extra Note)
  
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  
• Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.

Extra Note:If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

• Click on Advanced Settings, ensure the options Scan for potentially unwanted applications, Scan for potentially unsafe applications, and Enable Anti-Stealth Technology are ticked.
  
• Click Scan
  
• Wait for the scan to finish
  
• When the scan completes, press the LIST OF THREATS FOUND button
  
• Press EXPORT TO TEXT FILE , name the file ESETSCAN and save it to your desktop
  
• Include the contents of this report in your next reply.

It may be premature but, at this point, my browser is not being redirected. Before, when I wanted to see if the redirect was in effect, I'd run a Google search for the TDSSkiller and attempt to click on the first hits from that search. Always those actions resulted in a browser redirect but not this time and not yet. So, hopefully, your guidance has worked out in my case. Thank you CatByte for all your help. I'm wondering if my computer has been compromised in any other way, that is, is my computer safe to use? Thanks again.

Please navigate to this file > right click and delete it:

C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\Sony.ACID.Pro.v6.0c.Incl.Keygen-SSG\keygen.exe

cracks and keygens are a certain way to become infected

Hi

Just some housekeeping to do now,

Please do the following:

You can delete the DDS and GMER logs and programs from your desktop.


NEXT

Follow these steps to uninstall Combofix

• Make sure your security programs are totally disabled.
  
• Click START then RUN
  
• Now copy/paste Combofix /uninstall into the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the ..X and the /U, it needs to be there.

If there are any logs/tools remaining on your desktop > right click and delete them.

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.

All steps followed. I believe your Yoda skills have defeated the malware. Thanks for all your help. I greatly appreciate it.

You are welcome

stay safe

~CB
