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'm having trouble trying to search for websites on google,
they keep redirecting the websites to search engines I have not chosen.
Ex: (Gimmeanswers, Buzzclick, Yellowpages, etc.)
I've tried scanning Malwarebytes, Avast, and Spybot and they've found
some threats; I delete them and keep going on the desired websites and
somehow get redirected AGAIN.
It seems like this virus has tried to also collect private information
because I received an email from my bank notifying me of numerous attempts.
Please help, this is really frustrating to resolve but I will very much
appreciate the help. :)

I downloaded the program and got it scanned, however it told me that no threats were found.
I just now went to do another search and again another website popped up.

What browser do you use?

Run another quick scan with Malwarebytes and post the log.

Please download GooredFix from one of the locations below and save it to your Desktop
Download Mirror #1
Download Mirror #2
  • Ensure all Firefox windows are closed.
  • To run the tool, double-click it (XP), or right-click and select Run As Administrator (Vista).
  • When prompted to run the scan, click Yes.
  • GooredFix will check for infections, and then a log will appear. Please post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called GooredFix.txt).

Do you use a router? If so try resetting it as the virus may have messed with the DNS settings.

I reset the router and scanned the computer again but it seems like nothing
was different in this case, either.

Go to this Microsoft page:

About half way down the page click on this:

See if that makes any difference.

It seems like it's okay now. I'm not sure why though?
Just a few minutes ago it kept redirecting me.
