When posting your problem, do not run and post a ComboFix log. ComboFix is a tool that should only be run under the supervision of someone who has been trained in its use. Using it on your own can cause problems with your computer. Any posts containing CF Logs will be ignored.

To receive help, you should instead provide a detailed description of your problem, detailed word-for-word error messages that you are receiving, screenshots of strange behaviour, and your operating system. This information is much more useful to our helpers than a ComboFix log.

Hello,

I know that I have unintentionally installed some kind of malware/adware while downloading a torrent file, (stupid me).

I've tried several cleaning solutions:

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware
Xoftspy SE
Kaspersky Virus Removal tool
Webroot Window Washer
etc

Some say I have issues, but dont specify, and and some dont.

I've gone through the task manager, and nothing is new or unfamiliar in there, (and I check regularly)

I just want to stop the redirects.

I found this topic here: Similar post on this board

But that was geared to WinXp which I now don't run

I'm on Windows 7 Pro, and would like any suggestions/help beyond being told to wipe the HDD...unless thats the last option.

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks!

Skot

Hello.

Are you using a router in your home?

Let's try this as well.

Please download the TDSS Rootkit Removing Tool (TDSSKiller.exe) and save it to your Desktop. <-Important!!!
Be sure to download TDSSKiller.exe from Kaspersky's website and not TDSSKiller.zip which appears to be an older version 2.3.2.2 of the tool.
  • Double-click on TDSSKiller.exe to run the tool for known TDSS variants.
    Vista/Windows 7 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.
  • If TDSSKiller does not run, try renaming it.
  • To do this, right-click on TDSSKiller.exe, select Rename and give it a random name with the .com file extension (i.e. 123abc.com). If you do not see the file extension, please refer to How to change the file extension.
  • Click the Start Scan button.
  • Do not use the computer during the scan
  • If the scan completes with nothing found, click Close to exit.
  • If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results - Select action for found objects and offer three options.
  • Ensure Cure (default) is selected, then click Continue > Reboot now to finish the cleaning process.
  • A log file named TDSSKiller_version_date_time_log.txt (i.e. TDSSKiller.2.4.0.0_27.07.2010_09.o7.26_log.txt) will be created and saved to the root directory (usually Local Disk C:).
  • Copy and paste the contents of that file in your next reply.
