browser redirect bug on win7HP/64bitOS

i should begin in the introduction area as a rookie but i'm starting here with hope for help.

i read other posts about similar behavior of browsers repeatedly redirecting. i have tried approximately 5 anti-whatever ware programs, including avira, spybot, malwarebytes (log saved)and avg. just replaced motherboard on this laptop and want to be sure combofix or whatever approach i take works before i discard the unit to time/money.

i'm using another laptop on my home network to communicate for tech support and keep tutorial pages open (like combofix instructions) if that's a go.

can i apply instructions to fix my prob by reading the instructions to other users in this forum with same prob and a windows OS, or does each instance require a tech to read a virus log report from the infected laptop before proceeding?

oh. in reading about combofix - should i uninstall anti-virus programs before running it? really uninstall or disable?

thanks for any assistance in this regard.

Hello.

oh. in reading about combofix - should i uninstall anti-virus programs before running it? really uninstall or disable?

ComboFix (CF for short) is intended by its creator to be "used under the guidance and supervision of an expert", NOT for personal, unsupervised use. Please read Combofix's Disclaimer. When CF is run without trained assistance, it can no longer be considered a "safe" tool. Using this tool incorrectly could lead to disastrous problems with your operating system such as preventing it from ever starting again.

Regarding your issue, please do the following for me.

Please download the TDSS Rootkit Removing Tool (TDSSKiller.exe) and save it to your Desktop. <-Important!!!
Be sure to download TDSSKiller.exe from Kaspersky's website and not TDSSKiller.zip which appears to be an older version 2.3.2.2 of the tool.

• Double-click on TDSSKiller.exe to run the tool for known TDSS variants.
  Vista/Windows 7 users right-click and select Run As Administrator.
• If TDSSKiller does not run, try renaming it.
• To do this, right-click on TDSSKiller.exe, select Rename and give it a random name with the .com file extension (i.e. 123abc.com). If you do not see the file extension, please refer to How to change the file extension.
• Click the Start Scan button.
• Do not use the computer during the scan
• If the scan completes with nothing found, click Close to exit.
• If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results - Select action for found objects and offer three options.
• Ensure Cure (default) is selected, then click Continue > Reboot now to finish the cleaning process.
• A log file named TDSSKiller_version_date_time_log.txt (i.e. TDSSKiller.2.4.0.0_27.07.2010_09.o7.26_log.txt) will be created and saved to the root directory (usually Local Disk C:).
• Copy and paste the contents of that file in your next reply.

Hello.

Sorry for the delay.

Let me get a rootkit scan from you.

Please download Rootkit Unhooker and save it to your Desktop

• Double-click on RKUnhookerLE to run it
• Click the Report tab, then click Scan
• Check Drivers, Stealth and uncheck the rest
• Click OK
• Wait until it's finished and then go to File > Save Report
• Save the report to your Desktop

Copy the entire contents of the report and paste it in a reply here.

Note - you may get this warning.
"Rootkit Unhooker has detected a parasite inside itself!
It is recommended to remove parasite, okay?"

If you do, please proceed normally.

RKU Log

probs getting this program to install and work. think it's about my 64bit os. your link had error so i tried downloading from file cowboy and it doesn't fly. forums recommend downloading version 3 and upgrading to 8, since version 7 is widely avail for free but doesn't work. any suggestions?

Hello.

Sorry for the issues; the RKU site is having some problems currently.

Please try this instead:

Please download GMER from one of the following locations and save it to your desktop:

• Main Mirror
  This version will download a randomly named file (Recommended)
• Zipped Mirror
  This version will download a zip file you will need to extract first. If you use this mirror, please extract the zip file to your desktop.

• Disconnect from the Internet and close all running programs.
• Temporarily disable any real-time active protection so your security programs will not conflict with gmer's driver.
• Double-click on the randomly named GMER file (i.e. n7gmo46c.exe) and allow the gmer.sys driver to load if asked.
• Note: If you downloaded the zipped version, extract the file to its own folder such as C:\gmer and then double-click on gmer.exe.
  
  
  
• GMER will open to the Rootkit/Malware tab and perform an automatic quick scan when first run. (do not use the computer while the scan is in progress)
• If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO, then use the following settings for a more complete scan.
  
• In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Uncheck the following ...
  • IAT/EAT
  • Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
  • Show All (don't miss this one)
• Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.
• Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "Gmer.log" or it will save as a .log file which cannot be uploaded to your post.
• Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop, and copy/paste its contents in your next reply.
• Exit GMER and re-enable all active protection when done.

-- If you encounter any problems, try unchecking the Devices box in addition to the others previously requested. Also, try running GMER in Safe Mode.
**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

GMER Log

k

ran gmer scan 3 times - 2 in safe mode. reports it found nothing but i don't get a logreport to copy. i looked on other tabs (services, registry) after scan and it appears from data the scans were performed, just doesn't leave an end result other than a window "gmer hasn't found any system modification" wiht an ok button. what now?

Hello.

It appears that the issues on your system will require a more in-depth examination than can be performed in this forum. Please read the information in this guide, and follow all the steps beginning with step 6. After you have followed the steps in that guide, I would like you to start a new thread HERE and include a link to this thread.

It would be helpful if you post a note here once you have completed the steps in the guide and have started your topic in malware removal. Good luck and be patient. The MRT is very busy, so it could be several days (3-5 days is the average wait right now) before you receive a reply. But rest assured, help is on the way!

~Blade

i totally appreciate hearing there's another thing to try. meant to ask why a simple system restore wouldn't set all right. would it? i'm patient because i have another pc to work with or i'd be too annoyed to take the time to do this. so much appreciate it.

completed all activities outlined in prep guide for malware removal. new thread started per request with log files attached in new topic post. thanks.

Hello,

Now that you have posted a log here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic379005.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.
