Vista Home Premium - Browser Redirect Virus

I recently got a virus, I think it was when I was trying to update AVG free, but am unsure. At first I got a warning that my firewall had been turned off. I then had a "fake" antispyware screen come up and start running a scan. It said that my computer was infected and wanted me to buy the software. I knew then that it was a virus. I was able to get rid of that by running malwarebytes antimalware. Now it seems that all of my Internet Explorer Google searches redirect. I'm unable to solve this, and have tried several spyware programs, none of which find anything.

How is your machine running now?

Attached are the logs, things seem to be working better now

Hello,

Things look a little better, but we need to check somethings first.

1.
We need to disable Spybot S&D's "TeaTimer"
TeaTimer works by preventing ANY changes to the system. It will attempt to undo any fixes we run, because it blocks these fixes from running.

In order to safeguard your system from problems that can be brought on by a half finished fix, we need to disable TeaTimer. We can reenable it when we're done if you like.

• Open SpyBot Search and Destroy by going to Start -> All Programs -> Spybot Search and Destroy -> Spybot Search and Destroy.
• If prompted with a legal dialog, accept the warning.
• Click and then on "Advanced Mode"
  
• You may be presented with a warning dialog. If so, press
• Click on
• Click on
• Uncheck this checkbox:
  
• Close/Exit Spybot Search and Destroy

2.
Re-Run MBRCheck.exe

• Wait until you see the following line: Enter 'Y' and hit ENTER for more options, or 'N' to exit:
• Please push the 'Y' key and then press Enter
• When program ask you Enter your choice: enter
  [1] Dump the MBR of a physical disk to file.
  and press the Enter key
• The program will ask for the file name to dump to, type dump.dat and Press Enter. You should see Dumped successfully.
• Next, type -1 and press Enter. Next press Enter again, and the program will exit.
• Save it to your desktop then attach the resultant output in your next reply

We need to run a CFScript.

1. Close any open browsers.

2. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

3. Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:

Killall::

File::
c:\windows\system32\drivers\oalecuoi.sys
c:\windows\system32\oalecuoi.sys
c:\windows\system32\ptbp.exe
c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\WhiteSmokeTranslator
c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\Vjoxedulo.bin
c:\windows\system32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Roaming\sdtsh.bat

Registry::
[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\ControlSet001\Services\oalecuoi]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\security center\Svc]
"AntiVirusOverride"=-
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce]
"AvgUninstallURL"=-

Driver::
oalecuoi

Reglockdel::
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\system\ControlSet001\Control\Class\{4D36E96D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}\0000]

Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe




Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

How is your machine running now?

Logs are attached. Everything seems to be working good. Opened IE, did several google searches, and all sent me to the result page with no redirects

Hello,

There should be another MBR file on your desktop that has a .dat or is named MBRDUMP that file in it please attach that in your next reply.

Important Note: Your version of Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malicious sites can use to exploit and infect your system. Drive-by Trojan preying on out-of-date Java installations
Ghosts of Java Haunt UsersPlease follow these steps to remove older version Java components and update:

• Download the latest version of Java Runtime Environment (JRE) Version 6 and save it to your desktop.
• Look for "JDK 6 Update 22 (JDK or JRE)".
• Click the "Download JRE" button to the right.
• Select your Platform: "Windows".
• Select your Language: "Multi-language".
• Read the License Agreement, and then check the box that says: "I agree to the Java SE...License Agreement".
• Click Continue and the page will refresh.
• Under Required Files, check the box for Windows Offline Installation, click the link below it and save the file to your desktop.
• Close any programs you may have running - especially your web browser.

Go to > Control Panel, double-click on Add/Remove Programs or Programs and Features in Vista/Windows 7 and remove all older versions of Java.

• Check (highlight) any item with Java Runtime Environment (JRE or J2SE) in the name.
• Click the Remove or Change/Remove button and follow the onscreen instructions for the Java uninstaller.
• Repeat as many times as necessary to remove each Java versions.
• Reboot your computer once all Java components are removed.
• Then from your desktop double-click on jre-6u22-windows-i586.exe to install the newest version.
• If using Windows 7 or Vista and the installer refuses to launch due to insufficient user permissions, then Run As Administrator.
• When the Java Setup - Welcome window opens, click the Install > button.
• If offered to install a Toolbar, just uncheck the box before continuing unless you want it.

-- Starting with Java 6u10, the uninstaller incorporated in each new release uses Enhanced Auto update to automatically remove the previous version when updating to a later update release. It will not remove older versions, so they will need to be removed manually.
-- Java is updated frequently. If you want to be automatically notified of future updates, just turn on the Java Automatic Update feature and you will not have to remember to update when Java releases a new version.

Note: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications but it's not necessary.
To disable the JQS service if you don't want to use it:

• Go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter.
• Click Ok and reboot your computer.

Please download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware (v1.44) and save it to your desktop.
Download Link 1
Download Link 2MBAM may "make changes to your registry" as part of its disinfection routine. If using other security programs that detect registry changes (ie Spybot's Teatimer), they may interfere or alert you. Temporarily disable such programs or permit them to allow the changes.

• Make sure you are connected to the Internet.
• Double-click on mbam-setup.exe to install the application.
  For instructions with screenshots, please refer to the How to use Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Guide.
• When the installation begins, follow the prompts and do not make any changes to default settings.
• When installation has finished, make sure you leave both of these checked:
  • Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
  • Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
• Then click Finish.

MBAM will automatically start and you will be asked to update the program before performing a scan.

• If an update is found, the program will automatically update itself. Press the OK button to close that box and continue.
• If you encounter any problems while downloading the definition updates, manually download them from here and just double-click on mbam-rules.exe to install.

On the Scanner tab:

• Make sure the "Perform Quick Scan" option is selected.
• Then click on the Scan button.
• If asked to select the drives to scan, leave all the drives selected and click on the Start Scan button.
• The scan will begin and "Scan in progress" will show at the top. It may take some time to complete so please be patient.
• When the scan is finished, a message box will say "The scan completed successfully. Click 'Show Results' to display all objects found".
• Click OK to close the message box and continue with the removal process.

Back at the main Scanner screen:

• Click on the Show Results button to see a list of any malware that was found.
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When removal is completed, a log report will open in Notepad.
• The log is automatically saved and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy and paste the contents of that report in your next reply. Be sure to post the complete log to include the top portion which shows MBAM's database version and your operating system.
• Exit MBAM when done.

Note: If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be asked to reboot your computer so MBAM can proceed with the disinfection process. If asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately. Failure to reboot normally (not into safe mode) will prevent MBAM from removing all the malware.

Hello, robb01.
Congratulations! You now appear clean!


Uninstall Combofix

• Make sure that Combofix.exe that you downloaded is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  o *If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Click on then Run....
• Now copy & paste the green bolded text in the run-box and click OK.
  
  ComboFix /Uninstall
  
  
  
  <Notice the space between the "x" and "/".> <--- It needs to be there
  Windows Vista users: Press the Windows Key + R to bring the Run... Command and then from there you can add in the Combofix /Uninstall
  
  
• Please advise if this step is missed for any reason as it performs some important actions:
  "This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again.
  It also makes a clean Restore Point and flashes all the old restore points in order to prevent possible reinfection from an old one through system restore".

Are things running okay? Do you have any more questions?

System Still Slow?
You may wish to try StartupLite. Simply download this tool to your desktop and run it. It will explain any optional auto-start programs on your system, and offer the option to stop these programs from starting at startup. This will result in fewer programs running when you boot your system, and should improve preformance.
If that does not work, you can try the steps mentioned in Slow Computer/browser? Check Here First; It May Not Be Malware.

We Need to Clean Up Our Mess

• Download OTC by OldTimer and save it to your desktop.
• Double click icon to start the program. If you are using Vista, please right-click and choose run as administrator
• Then Click the big button.
• You will get a prompt saying "Being Cleanup Process". Please select Yes.
• Restart your computer when prompted.

Recommendations
Below are some recommendations to lower your chances of (re)infection.

• Install and maintain an outbound firewall
• Install Spyware Blaster and update it regularly
  If you wish, the commercial version provides automatic updating.
• Install the MVPs hosts file, and update it regularly
  You can use the HostMan host file manager to do this automaticly if you wish.
  For more information on the hosts file, and what it can do for you, you can view the Tutorial on the Hosts file
• Install an Anti-Spyware program, and update it regularly
  Malware Byte's Anti Malware is an excellent Anti-Spyware scanner. It's scan times are usually under ten minutes, and has excellent detection and removal rates.
  SUPERAntiSpyware is another good scanner with high detection and removal rates.
  Both programs are free for non commercial home use but provide a resident and do not nag if you purchase the paid versions.
• Keep Windows (and your other Microsoft software) up to date!
  I cannot stress how important this is enough. Often holes are found in Internet Explorer or Windows itself that require patching. Sometimes these holes will allow an attacker unrestricted access to your computer.
  
  If you are using Windows XP or earlier
  Visit the Microsoft Update Website and follow the on screen instructions to setup Microsoft Update. Also follow the instructions to update your system. Please REBOOT and repeat this process until there are no more updates to install!!
  
  If you are using Windows Vista
  
  • Click the "Start Menu" (or Windows Orb)
  • Click "All Programs"
  • Click "Windows Update"
  • On the left, choose "Change Settings"
  • Ensure that the checkbox "Use Microsoft Update" at the bottom of the window is checked.
  • Press OK and accept the UAC prompt.
    Note: You shouldn't need to check this checkbox every single time you update, only the first time.
  • Click "Check for Updates" in the upper left corner.
  • Follow the instructions to install the latest updates.
  • Reboot and repeat the "Check for Updates" until there are no more critical updates to install
• Keep your other software up to date as well
  Software does not need to be made by Microsoft to be insecure. You can use the Secunia Online Software occasionally to help you check for out of date software on your machine.
• Stay up to date!
  The MOST IMPORTANT part of any security setup is keeping the software up to date. Malware writers release new variants every single day. If your software updates don't keep up, then the malware will always be one step ahead. Not a good thing .

Everything seems good, can't thank you enough for your help!

Your most Welcome!
