Google redirect, regedit crash explorer, can't run ComboFix

Welcome to Major Geeks!

The first thing you need to do is run MSconfig and put the PC into normal startup mode as requested in step 1 of the READ & RUN ME.

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
Java 2 Runtime Environment, SE v1.4.2_02
Java 2 SDK, SE v1.4.2_02
Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 <-- many years out of date!!!

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:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

And unless you have valid reasons for needing the below, I suggest fixing these too.
O15 - Trusted Zone: http://ctx-limited.manatt.com
O24 - Desktop Component 0: (no name) - N:\Yurichan\wwd_febmarapr_2009.jpg
O24 - Desktop Component 1: (no name) - N:\Yurichan\wwd_febmarapr_2009_1.jpg
O24 - Desktop Component 2: (no name) - N:\Yurichan\pc_janfebmar_2009.jpg

NOTE: HJT may popup an error about the AppInit_DLLs line. Ignore it and click OK to continue.
After clicking Fix, exit HJT.


Now download The Avenger by Swandog46, and save it to your Desktop.

• Extract avenger.exe from the Zip file and save it to your desktop
• Run avenger.exe by double-clicking on it.
• Do not change any check box options!!
• Copy everything in the Quote box below, and paste it into the Input script here: part of the window:

• Now click the Execute button.
• Click Yes to the prompt to confirm you want to execute.
• Click Yes to the Reboot now? question that will appear when Avenger finishes running.
• Your PC should reboot, if not, reboot it yourself.
• A log file from Avenger will be produced at C:\avenger.txt and it will popup for you to view when you login after reboot.

After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment

If you need the Sun Java Development kit you can get it here: http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index.jsp

Also delete all files and subfolders in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
C:\Documents and Settings\hamster\Local Settings\temp

Now run Ccleaner to clean out only temp files and nothing else!

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:\avenger.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You did not uninstall Spybot - Search & Destroy 1.3 as requested.

I suggest you start by uninstalling the below.

Kazaa Media Desktop 2.0.2
Mozilla Firefox (1.0)

Your logs are clean.

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.
3. 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" /u
     • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
     • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
   • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
4. If we had you run Avenger, you can delete all files related to Avenger now.
5. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
6. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
7. 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.
8. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
9. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
10. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 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.
11. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
