BleepingComputer.com: Google Redirect - WinXP, Firefox 3.6.18

Looks like we have a Google redirect in FF 3.6.18, detected it twice so far. It does not always happen, and I have not yet seen it in IE8. I do not have the URLs they directed to, however, as I closed the browser and turned off the connection. I believe it started this evening. Any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: This is WinXP, Media Center Edition, SP3.

Hello and welcome. Please do these steps and tell me how it is after.
Are you on a router? With other machines ? Do they redirect?


Please follow our Removal Guide here How to remove Google Redirects. You will move to the Automated Removal Instructions

If it finds something make sure Cure is selected
Next click Continue then Reboot now
A log file should be created on your C: drive named "TDSSKiller.txt" please copy and paste the contents in your next reply.


Next run MBAM (MalwareBytes):

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and save it to your desktop.

Download Link 1
Download Link 2

MBAM may "make changes to your registry" as part of its disinfection routine. If using other security programs that detect registry changes (ie Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere or alert you. Temporarily disable such programs or permit them to allow the changes.

• Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
  
• Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  For instructions with screenshots, please refer to the How to use Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Guide.
  
• When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
  
• When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
    
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  
  
• Then click Finish.

MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.

• If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
  
• If you encounter any problems while downloading the definition updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.

On the Scanner tab:

• Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
  
• Then click on the Scan button.
  
• If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
  
• The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
  
• When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
  
• Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.

Back at the main Scanner screen:

• Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
  
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
  
• When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
  
• The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
  
• Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply. Be sure to post the complete log to include the top portion which shows MBAM's database version and your operating system.
  
• Exit MBAM when done.

Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be asked to reboot your computer so MBAM can proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Hi boopme - to answer your first questions, I'm on a router, with other computers. I have not seen the problem on any other computers yet - only on this one, and only in Firefox. I'm currently able to reproduce the issue, so it might be hiding for a little while.

That said, TDSSKiller came up clean with the following log:

Hi boopme, I'm on the SUPER step right now, not sure how much time it still needs to finish. Shall I let it continue? If so, shall I immediately proceed to your next instructions regarding HOSTS no matter what SUPER comes up with? Thank you for your time on this.

Only if still redirecting.
I'll look back tomorrow,gotta go now.

Thanks, boopme. I likely will proceed even if I'm not sure whether it's redirecting, as the redirecting seemed to be sporadic and I couldn't be 100% sure that it had stopped. Once again, I greatly appreciate the time you've put in to help out.

OK, those were good scans. Looks like we may have some outdated Java on here. We'll check.
How's the redirect?

Ok, Odd you have the correct Java.
Adobe Reader is at 10X Adobe Reader X (10.1.0)
Note UNcheck the box so you do NOT install the toolbar.
Free! Google Toolbar search Google from any web page, block pop-ups

Yes,install Google Toolbar - optional

If you still redirect in Firefox, you can try disabling Addons one at a time untill you find the one causing it.

Oh and you are most welcome.

Thanks again, boopme. I have updated Adobe Reader. And, when I visited the Java update page, it said I have the right one, BUT it also advised me that there was an older one installed as well. I followed the instructions for removal. Not quite sure how it was there, but that could have been a vulnerability I'm guessing?

Anyway, thank you so much, once again - is there anything I should be doing at this point to keep checking to make sure I'm clean?

Yes,older versions are exploitable. Most updates are for security fix reasoning. Keep windows updated also.
I would update and rerun MBAm so it comes back clean.

How to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs using Secunia Personal Software Inspector


If there are no more problems or signs of infection, you should Create a New Restore Point to prevent possible reinfection from an old one. Some of the malware you picked up could have been saved in System Restore. Since this is a protected directory your tools cannot access to delete these files, they sometimes can reinfect your system if you accidentally use an old restore point. Setting a new restore point AFTER cleaning your system will help prevent this and enable your computer to "roll-back" to a clean working state.

The easiest and safest way to do this is:

• Go to Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools and click "System Restore".
  
• Choose the radio button marked "Create a Restore Point" on the first screen then click "Next". Give the R.P. a name, then click "Create". The new point will be stamped with the current date and time. Keep a log of this so you can find it easily should you need to use System Restore.

• Then use Disk Cleanup to remove all but the most recently created Restore Point.
  
• Go to Start > Run and type: Cleanmgr
  
• Click "Ok". Disk Cleanup will scan your files for several minutes, then open.
  
• Click the "More Options" tab, then click the "Clean up" button under System Restore.
  
• Click Ok. You will be prompted with "Are you sure you want to delete all but the most recent restore point?"
  
• Click Yes, then click Ok.
  
• Click Yes again when prompted with "Are you sure you want to perform these actions?"
  
• Disk Cleanup will remove the files and close automatically.

Vista Users can refer to these links: Create a New Restore Point and Disk Cleanup.

Tips to protect yourself against malware and reduce the potential for re-infection:

• Simple and easy ways to keep your computer safe.
  
• How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!.
  
• Hardening Windows Security - Part 1 & Part 2.
  
• Configuring Internet Explorer for Practical Security and Privacy - How to Secure Your Web Browser.
  
• Your Guide To Staying Safe Online.
  
• Use Task Manager to close pop-up messages to safely exit malware attacks.

• Avoid gaming sites, pirated software, cracking tools, keygens, and peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs. They are a security risk which can make your computer susceptible to a smörgåsbord of malware infections, remote attacks, exposure of personal information, and identity theft. Many malicious worms and Trojans spread across P2P file sharing networks, gaming and underground sites. Users visiting such pages may see innocuous-looking banner ads containing code which can trigger pop-up ads and malicious Flash ads that install viruses, Trojans and spyware. Ads are a target for hackers because they offer a stealthy way to distribute malware to a wide range of Internet users. The best way to reduce the risk of infection is to avoid these types of web sites and not use any P2P applications. Read P2P Software User Advisories and Risks of File-Sharing Technology.

• Keeping Autorun enabled on USB and other removable drives has become a significant security risk due to the increasing number of malware variants that can infect them and transfer the infection to your computer. To learn more about this risk, please read:

• USB-Based Malware Attacks.
  
• When is AUTORUN.INF really an AUTORUN.INF?.
  
• Please disable Autorun asap!.
