    Heya fellas, I'm TOTALLY stuck!

    Got sent an email on facebook from a tutor from my music school saying that he found a video with me in it... I followed the link (didnt really think twice about it) ended up on a page that looked like a video sharing youtube style site. popped up saying "need to install java applet" clicked ok... and before I could think "wait, NO NO NO!!!!" setup.exe was downloaded and run and now I have the google redirection virus....

    Downloaded and tried to run Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware, but that needs to connect to the malwarebytes site to update and the virus is blocking certain sites (malwarebytes, safer-networking, bleepingcomputer and various other helpful sites!!!)

    Need some help PLEASE! I'm not a noob with computers, I just had a noob moment... I have HijackThis logs and ComboFix logs if needed.

    Thanks,
    Spao.

    Manual update files that you can transfer over if needed. You will need to transfer the installer and update files over, install the software and then run the update files.

    Ensure you pay close attention to instructions and the order in which steps muct be run. We request that you run MBAM and SAS prior to running combofix or MGTools and we do not request a hijackthis log because it is already built into MGTools.exe.

    Attach all the requested logs once done, including the log from when you ran Combofix the first time. (I do want you to run it again, in the correct order, AFTER MBAM and SAS) So continue on and as soon as you attach logs I can make a start on building a fix for you. :)
