    Hello, I am a new adult content webmaster and I have been exploring some different sites to get some ideas on how to build my site. I came across a site that I believed downloaded a nasty little bug on my computer. A lot of sites (mostly adult) I try to go to are having the URLs rewritten to all kinds of other sites.

    I followed all of the steps to remove malware but my browsers are still being hijacked. Attached are my logs.

    I couldn't get a CounterSpy log because I guess it won't let you create logs in safe mode. But the CounterSpy scan came up clean anyway.

    Thanks for any help.

    Please delete the file: C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Viewpoint

    Then download FixWareout by LonnyRJones from one of the two below links and save it to your desktop.

    http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

    * Run Fixwareout.
    * Click Next,
    * then Install,
    * make sure Run fixit is checked
    * and click Finish.
    * The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
    * You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
    * Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

    When you run fixwareout, just follow the prompts, you will need to restart when prompted.

    After rebooting (restart) back into normal boot mode, make sure you have all web browsers closed.

    * Go into Control Panel -->Network Connections.
    * Right click on your connection
    * and click Properties.
    * On the Properties page, highlight Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)
    * Click Properties. This will bring up another page.
    * Select Obtain DNS Server Automatically.
    * Click the ok button. The page will close.
    * Press ok on the page in front of you.
    * Restart the computer.
    * Reconnect to the Internet using Internet Explorer.
    * Now come back here and attach the log from fixwareout. It is located at c:\fixwareout\report.txt

    Now Run HijackThis 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:

    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{F89E1B7B-B266-4FE9-BECF-9B135A846A06}: NameServer = 85.255.115.29,85.255.112.140
    O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.115.29 85.255.112.140
    O17 - HKLM\System\CS4\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.115.29 85.255.112.140
    O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.115.29 85.255.112.140

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now attach new logs for:

    * GetRunKey
    * ShowNew
    * HJT

    Be sure to tell us how things are running.

    Everything seems to be back in working order.

    Thank you very much for the help.

    I learned quite a bit. I should be able to handle this a lot better if it happens again. =]

    Your logs look good.
    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

    1. If we used Pocket Killbox during your cleanup, do the below
    * Run Pocket Killbox and select File, Cleanup, Delete All Backups
    2. If we used ComboFix you can delete the ComboFix.exe file and associated C:\combofix.txt log that was created.
    3. If we user SDFix you can delete all the SDFix related files and folders from your Desktop or whereever you installed it.
    4. If we used VundoFix, you can delete the VundoFix.exe file and the C:\VundoFix Backups folder and C:\vundofix.txt log that was created.
    5. If we had your run FixWareOut, you can delete the Fixwareout.exe file and the C:\fixwareout folder.
    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. You can delete the ShowNew.Zip and GetRunkey.Zip files and the files that you extracted from the ZIP files. You can also delete the C:\newfiles.txt and C:\runkeys.txt logs that were created
    8. If you are running Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
    * go back to step 8 of the READ & RUN ME 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:
