Forum Rules

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.


If you have not received help after three days, please post a link to your topic HERE.

I have some sort of virus affecting my computer. Any search engine I go to will display the results of the search but then redirect me somewhere else. I have read MANY of these forums to try and figure out the problem but can't. I suppose I need to start with a knowledgable person here at the beginning.

How should I start. I have tried a number of things including, tdsskliller, rootkill, combofix, malaware bytes etc. Nothing has worked. I have now deleted everything related to the issue from my computer for a fresh start.

PS Often when I am at bleeping computer searching for my problem, the web browser just disapears. It is if the virus knows that I am searching for it.

Hello, if you ran all those tools we need you to move to the Malware removal section.
Having run ComboFix we need to see that and a DDS log.

Please go here....
Preparation Guide ,do steps 6 - 9.

Create a DDS log and post it in the new topic explained in step 9 which is here Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Logs and not in this topic,thanks.
Skip the GMER step and instead post the ComboFix log you have.

Let me know if that went well.

NOTE:post these also.
tdsskliller, rootkill
