Help!

ETA: Sorry... can't go back and edit the title now. Moderator feel free to edit it to one more appropriate.

Since November I have been having trouble with a google redirect virus. I do a google search, click on a link provided and it redirects me to a page of advertisements. I can't seem to ever get where I want to unless I type the entire URL directly in the address bar. Chrome and Safari remain unaffected.

I have run Norton, AVG, McAfee, SpyBot, MalWareBytes, HitmanPro and others. Hitman Pro has located it and always tells me it will delete on reboot but has never been successful. The file is C:\windows\system32\cmos2.dll . The file was created 11-15-2010 which is right when I started having trouble.

I did notice this morning that there is now a cmos2.zip that was created 1-31-2011.

Thanks for your help!

Hello. Let's just try these 2 scanns and see

Please perform a scan with Eset Online Antiivirus Scanner.
This scan requires Internet Explorer,Opera or Firefox to work. Vista/Windows 7 users need to run Internet Explorer as Administrator.
To do this, right-click on the IE icon in the Start Menu or Quick Launch Bar on the Taskbar and select Run As Administrator from the context menu.

• Click the green button.
• Read the End User License Agreement and check the box:
• Check .
• Click the button.
• Accept any security warnings from your browser.
• Check
• Check Remove found threats and Scan potentially unwanted applications. (If given the option, choose "Quarantine" instead of delete.)
• Click the Start button.
• ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer.
• If offered the option to get information or buy software at any point, just close the window.
• The scan will take a while so be patient and do NOT use the computer while the scan is running. Keep all other programs and windows closed.
• When the scan completes, push
• Push , and save the file to your desktop as ESETScan.txt.
• Push the button, then Finish.
• Copy and paste the contents of ESETScan.txt in your next reply.

Note: A log.txt file will also be created and automatically saved in the C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\ folder.
If you did not save the ESETScan log, click > Run..., then type or copy and paste everything in the code box below into the Open dialogue box:

C:\Program Files\ESET\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt

• Click Ok and the scan results will open in Notepad.
• Copy and paste the contents of log.txt in your next reply.

-- Some online scanners will detect existing anti-virus software and refuse to cooperate. You may have to disable the real-time protection components of your existing anti-virus and try running the scan again. If you do this, remember to turn them back on after you are finished.

NOTE: In some instances if no malware is found there will be no log produced.


Rerun MBAM (MalwareBytes) like this:

Open MBAM in normal/regular mode and click Update tab, select Check for Updates,when done
click Scanner tab,select Quick scan and scan (normal mode).
After scan click Remove Selected, Post new scan log and Reboot into normal mode.

Okay,
ESET scan results:
C:\Documents and Settings\Owner\My Documents\Downloads\registrybooster.exe Win32/RegistryBooster application deleted - quarantined

Updated MBAM and scanned, no threats found.

Thanks for your help.

ETA: I ran HitmanPro again and it's still showing that same file.

Hello, we will run one more scan.
Please download the TDSS Rootkit Removing Tool (TDSSKiller.exe) and save it to your Desktop. <-Important!!!
Be sure to download TDSSKiller.exe (v2.4.0.0) 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.

If still redirecting then I would say the Router became infected so do this...
Next you must reset the router to its default configuration. This can be done by inserting something tiny like a paper clip end or pencil tip into a small hole labeled "reset" located on the back of the router. Press and hold down the small button inside until the lights on the front of the router blink off and then on again (usually about 10 seconds). If you don?t know the router's default password, you can look it up HERE.
Note: After resetting your router, it is important to set a non-default password, and if possible, username, on the router. This will assist in eliminating the possibility of the router being hijacked again.


Let me know how it is now...


I see you had/have a Registry Cleaner and want you to read our opinion.
Bleeping Computer DOES NOT recommend the use of registry cleaners/optimizers for several reasons:

• Registry cleaners are extremely powerful applications that can damage the registry by using aggressive cleaning routines and cause your computer to become unbootable.
  
  The Windows registry is a central repository (database) for storing configuration data, user settings and machine-dependent settings, and options for the operating system. It contains information and settings for all hardware, software, users, and preferences. Whenever a user makes changes to settings, file associations, system policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in this repository. The registry is a crucial component because it is where Windows "remembers" all this information, how it works together, how Windows boots the system and what files it uses when it does. The registry is also a vulnerable subsystem, in that relatively small changes done incorrectly can render the system inoperable. For a more detailed explanation, read Understanding The Registry.
  
• Not all registry cleaners are created equal. There are a number of them available but they do not all work entirely the same way. Each vendor uses different criteria as to what constitutes a "bad entry". One cleaner may find entries on your system that will not cause problems when removed, another may not find the same entries, and still another may want to remove entries required for a program to work.
  
• Not all registry cleaners create a backup of the registry before making changes. If the changes prevent the system from booting up, then there is no backup available to restore it in order to regain functionality. A backup of the registry is essential BEFORE making any changes to the registry.
  
• Improperly removing registry entries can hamper malware disinfection and make the removal process more difficult if your computer becomes infected. For example, removing malware related registry entries before the infection is properly identified can contribute to system instability and even make the malware undetectable to removal tools.
  
• The usefulness of cleaning the registry is highly overrated and can be dangerous. In most cases, using a cleaner to remove obsolete, invalid, and erroneous entries does not affect system performance but it can result in "unpredictable results".

Unless you have a particular problem that requires a registry edit to correct it, I would suggest you leave the registry alone. Using registry cleaning tools unnecessarily or incorrectly could lead to disastrous effects on your operating system such as preventing it from ever starting again. For routine use, the benefits to your computer are negligible while the potential risks are great.

It found nothing.

Interesting info on the registry cleaner. You certainly know more than I do (because I don't know a thing about it!). I downloaded several things last week after searching about the google redirection on several sites and hoping to find a solution. I had actually already uninstalled that one I thought. I'll remember that for the future and admit my ignorance!

Interestingly enough, explorer seems to be searching correctly, but has done this once before where it works well for a few hours and then goes back to messing up again. I'll see what it does and get back to you here.

If our router is infected, would it affect my laptop as well? Explorer is running just fine on that computer if that is helpful.

Thanks

OK, there was no TDSS infection. Most folks do not know this and are mislead by many online fix recommendations to use a Cleaner. Some sites to me are as bad as the Rogue sites . They tell you to use a cleaner and then tell you that you have Reg errors that need to be fixed and the buy our Reg tool. they need a beating too LOL.


Are you still redirecting? If the other is fine it's probably not the router but your DNS servers.

EDIT: Wait on that

I have run Norton, AVG, McAfee,

Which of these is your AV and which are Active (live /running now)?
Do you still have the 2 files
C:\windows\system32\cmos2.dll & cmos2.zip? Are they on your desktop?

I had AVG actively running and SpyBot when this all happened. In an effort to clear it up I have run McAfee (free download so I tried it). At this point I have Norton ONLY for antivirus installed and running. HitmanPro is the only program that finds it and attempts to delete it.

In C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32 I have the cmos2.dll (created Nov 15, 2010) and cmos2.zip (just created Jan 30, 2011).

EDITED to add: HitmanPro does not acknowledge the zip file, only cmos2.dll.

Explorer has not redirected in the 10 or so google searches we've done, but this has happened once before where it stopped after cleaning everything and then started again, so I'm not very hopeful since those files are still there and labeled as Malware by HitmanPro. And I'm very curious where that zipped file came from!

Thanks for trying to help!

Hi Melissa I think we need a deeper look as we need to know what these actually are.. We just can't remove a CMOS file.

Please go here....
Preparation Guide ,do steps 6 - 9.

Create a DDS log and post it in the new topic explained in step 9,which is here Virus, Trojan, Spyware, and Malware Removal Logs and not in this topic,thanks.
If Gmer won't run,skip it and move on.
Let me know if that went well.

I did all that yesterday right after I posted intitially. GMER did run. I'll go create that post over there. If I'm following this all correctly, all we've done since then is remove the Registry Cleaner.

Thanks!

Hello,

Now that you have posted a log here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic379100.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.
