Deleted 4DW4R3 but still can't connect to internet

Hi,

I've been reading some of the posts and the help that went along with them, and I am astounded at how helpful you are to all of us in dreadful need, so thanks!! In advance, of course.

I had (maybe still do.....) that horrible 4DW4R3 rootkit that started off quite innocently redirecting my web search results when I click on them to other pages, namely some triplexfeed thing.

Then, things started getting worse - I couldn't open certain programs, I couldn't update my virus protection, then I couldn't even get on the internet anymore.

I did some research, used Combofix, Superantispyware, AdAware, and tried to run Hitman Pro 3.5 but couldn't since my computer wouldn't connect to the internet.

I deleted my wireless Netgear adapter and reinstalled it, but I still can't connect.

Help!! Please!!

Hello,

Please follow the instructions in ==>This Guide<== starting at step 6.

Once the proper logs are created, then make a NEW TOPIC and post it ==>HERE<== Since you have run ComboFix, please include the ComboFix log in the new topic. Please be sure to include a description of your computer issues and what you have done to try to resolve them.


If you cannot produce any of the other logs, then please create the new topic anyway, include the information that you were unable to produce the other logs and why and include the ComboFix log along with a description of your computer issues.

Hello,

Now that you have posted a log here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic342180.html you should NOT make further changes to your computer (install/uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc) unless advised by a MRT Team member, nor should you ask for help elsewhere. Doing so can result in system changes which may not show in the log you already posted. Further, any modifications you make on your own may cause confusion for the helper assisting you and could complicate the malware removal process which would extend the time it takes to clean your computer.

From this point on the MRT Team should be the only members that you take advice from, until they have verified your log as clean.

Please be patient. It may take a while to get a response because the MRT Team members are EXTREMELY busy working logs posted before yours. They are volunteers who will help you out as soon as possible. Once you have made your post and are waiting, please DO NOT make another reply until it has been responded to by a member of the MRT Team. Generally the staff checks the forum for postings that have 0 replies as this makes it easier for them to identify those who have not been helped. If you post another response there will be 1 reply. A team member, looking for a new log to work may assume another MRT Team member is already assisting you and not open the thread to respond.

Please be patient. It may take several days to get a response but your log will be reviewed and answered as soon as possible. I advise checking your topic once a day for responses as the e-mail notification system is unreliable.

To avoid confusion, I am closing this topic. Good luck with your log.
