]Hello,

Frequently I am being redirected to an address of 85.255.119.186 when I do google searches. I have done some looking on the forums and it appears to be some kind of rootkit. I have performed all of the steps recommended in your forum to get rid of it before posting. I still think that it is there. Please help. Thanks.

Hello,

Please download FixwareOut from one of the following sites:
http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/lonny/Fixwareout.exe
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts. If your firewall gives an alert, (because this tool will download an additional file from the internet), please don't let your firewall block it, but allow it instead.
Then you will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

Once the desktop loads please post the text that will open (report.txt) and a new Hijackthis log.

Note: ONLY if you have connection problems after performing above steps - go to Start -> Control Panel, and choose Network Connections. Then right click on your default connection, usually Local Area Connection or Dial-up Connection if you are using Dial-up, and left click on properties. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio button that says Obtain DNS servers automatically. Click OK twice, and restart your computer.

Please copy and paste the logs in your next reply. Do NOT attach them. Thx.

Hello,

Your log looks clean again.

As a sidenote, I notice from your log that you are running more than one different Anti-Virus programs with Auto-protect enabled. Bitdefender and AVG Antivirus.
Never install more than one Antivirus and Firewall! Rather than giving you extra protection, it will decrease the reliability of it seriously!
The reason for this is that if both products have their automatic (Real-Time) protection switched on, your system may lock up due to both software products attempting to access the same file at the same time.
Also because more than one Antivirus and Firewall installed are not compatible with eachother, it can cause system performance problems and a serious system slowdown.

I would strongly advise you to only have one Anti-Virus with the Auto-Protect feature running at any one time!
If you decide to only keep one Anti-Virus installed,
you should uninstall the other(s) through the Add or Remove Programs option in Control Panel.

Let me know in your next reply how things are running now.

Hi Miekiemoes,

I did several google searches and was not redirected once, so it looks like the problem is fixed. thanks a lot.
Incidently, f-force is blocking something from going to the ip address of 192.168.1.1. I looked up the address and it is the linksys router ip address. However, my router is made by netgear, are they owned by lynksys? thanks again.

Hi, 192.168.1.1 is the default router IP address, also for netgear. smile.gif

Glad I could help. smile.gif

Please read my Prevention page with lots of info and tips how to prevent this in the future.
And if you want to improve speed/system performance after malware removal, take a look here.

Happy Surfing again!
