Posted 23 June 2011 - 04:08 PM

Hello, Before I begin...I'm new to this forum. I used to know way more about computers but just got out of touch with it and while I'm modestly fluent in programming lingo I know very little about about fixing computers! I need some help to fix my work computer which started redirecting all my searches to weird sites yesterday. IMPORTANT: I read the Preparation Guide, and followed almost all the instructions...when I got to the gmer thing I ran gmer.exe and when I hit Scan it started scanning for a minute then rebooted my computer unprompted. Every time I've tried to run the program it reboots the computer, so I don't have a gmer log file. I've tried a few programs (Spybot, Housecall, and Microsoft Malware Remover) and nothing is helping. I downloaded Hijackthis but didn't really know how to use it so I didn't mess with it too much. I'll provide as much information as I can for now, but if more is needed to fix this I'll do my best to abide. Any help is greatly appreciated! Here is the log file I got from DDS:

  • 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.


We apologize for the delay in responding to your request for help. Here at Bleeping Computer we get overwhelmed at times, and we are trying our best to keep up. Please note that your topic was not intentionally overlooked. Our mission is to help everyone in need, but sometimes it takes just a little longer to get to every request for help. No one is ignored here.

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.

In order for me to see the status of the infection I will need a new set of logs to start with.

Hey, thanks for replying but I actually managed to fix it the other day.
Took a chance and edited the registry to take out some 01 codes and it works perfect now. Thanks anyway!
