xwoarh.sys browser hijacker who knows what else

Hello,

First time poster here. I have tried for a week to fix this and now its time for expert intercession.

It appears both IE and Firefox are hijacked and redirected to find-for-you-service.com.

Additionally, I believe I have something nasty in c:\windows\system32\drivers\xwoarh.sys
All research points to something nasty. I cannot remove, rename or otherwise delete the file, locks up the entire computer when it gets poked.

I have tried all manner of AV scanners and nothing seems to run to completion. They all stop at the system 32 drivers folder. You may evidence of multiple AV software installs and removals.

I cannot run root repeal for the same reason.

the dds log follows.

Hello,

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.

My name is Syler and I will be helping you to solve your Malware issues. If you have since resolved your issues I would appreciate if you
would let me no so I can close this topic, if you still need help please let me no what issues you are still having, in your next reply.

• Download random's system information tool (RSIT) by random/random from here and save it to your desktop.
• Double click on RSIT.exe to run RSIT.
• Click Continue at the disclaimer screen.
• Once it has finished, two logs will open. Please post the contents of both log.txt (<<will be maximized) and info.txt (<<will be minimized)

Then please post back here with the following:

• log.txt
• info.txt

Thanks
