    I completed the read me/run me malware guide and it did remove most of the problems I had. Theres just one that does not want to come out. Its the C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\pjacra.sys. The issue started March 12 2010when I was doing a google search(Not porn, a lounge/restaurant). Now everytime I look up anything in google I get a redirect. Logs are from today. Please help me.

    Is this computer part of a domain:
    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: Domain = ad.choiceonecom.com?
    If not, leave the 017 lines in the HJT fix. If it is, take them out of the fix.

    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    * Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
    If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
    * Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
    * If ComboFix tells you it needs to update to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
    * Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below code box into it (make sure you scroll all the way down in the code box to get all lines selected ):
    Code:
    KILLALL::
    
    
    RenV::
    c:\program files\Adobe\Reader 9.0\Reader\reader_sl .exe
    c:\program files\AVG\AVG9\avgtray .exe

    * Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
    * At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
    * You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
    If it asks you to overide the prvevious file with the same name, click YES.
    * Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
    [​IMG]
    * Follow the prompts.
    * When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
    * I will ask for this log below

    Note:

    Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

    Then attach the below logs:

    * C:\ComboFix.txt
    * C:\MGlogs.zip

    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    To answer your question yes this laptop is part of a network. Its my work laptop and my IT helpdesk is not the quickest. Thats why I turned to you guys. I completed your instructions and things are looking ALOT better!!. Super AntiSpyware and Malwarebytes do not detect any infections and google searching is back to normal. I think you guys did it again!!! Attatched are my logs. Am I clean and good to go??

    Tell your IT dept. they owe me a few days wages. :)

    Your logs are clean, however I want you to keep an eye on your temp folders.

    Use windows explorer to find and delete:
    C:\WINDOWS\temp\1dc7a46b-2f0d-4439-9d77-8e4a41452d89
    C:\WINDOWS\temp\2ba51888-8d70-4754-83bf-e45cea4c34c6

    C:\Documents and Settings\smestre\Local Settings\temp\3.tmp
    C:\Documents and Settings\smestre\Local Settings\temp\AR_5.tmp
    C:\Documents and Settings\smestre\Local Settings\temp\AR_5.html

    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. Unless you purchase them, they provide no protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.
    2. If we had you use ComboFix, uninstall ComboFix (This uninstall will only work as written if you installed ComboFix on your Desktop like we requested.)
      • Click START then RUN and enter the below into the run box and then click OK. Note the quotes are required
      • "%userprofile%\Desktop\combofix" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    5. If running Vista, it is time to make sure you have reenabled UAC by double clicking on the C:\MGtools\enableUAC.reg file and allowing it to be added to the registry.
    6. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    7. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    8. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 of the READ ME for your Window version and see the instructions to Disable System Restore which will flush your Restore Points.
      • Then reboot and Enable System Restore to create a new clean Restore Point.
    9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
