Redirection Malware Infection

Windows Searchqu Toolbar <<< Uninstall this.


If you do not use Windows Messenger Run this Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.


Your Malware Bytes log shows you "took no action" on those threats. Did you indeed do so AFTER attaching the log for me?

You have saved some links to a place where they should not be such as:

• C:\Windows\SysNative\288932
• C:\Windows\SysNative\365314

Did you put them there yourself? :confused


Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista, Windows7 or Win8) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.

Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now!

Re run Malware Bytes and attach the log.

Now I want you to uninstall Google Chrome using Revo Uninstaller. Then reinstall and tell me how things are running.

 

Glad to hear all is running well. Ready for final steps?

 

Yes, surf around a while and post back tomorrow.

 

Well here are final steps when you're ready.

If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
2. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others) and running MGclean.bat did not remove them, you can delete these files now.
3. Renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it in step 4 of the READ & RUN ME.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
5. If running Vista, Win 7 or Win 8, 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. Now goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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.
   
7. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
   
   
8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
   • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

Everything seems good to go. You can ask about Windows defender in the sofrware forum.

 

Best of luck!
