    I noticed my laptop's internet google searches acting weird last night. I would get re-directed to another page, which would be a spam site.

    I found out that i have a rootkit after doing a "google redirect virus"... . I ran

    MBAM (detected the rootkit) quarantined 5 files
    COMBOFIX (detected and told me i had a rootkit)
    TDSSKiller which detected 1 rootkit, i opted for the cure option)
    NORTON POWER ERASER (didn't notice anything)
    AVG (found them after MBAM)


    what do i do next? The internet is no longer redirecting me after i quarantined the files it found. And TDSSKiller found one which i was able to cure. So I'm kinda lost right now....

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    If you did read the first post, i just finished another MBAM scan and here are the results. Should I run something else to make sure this is gone. (The previous results were from last night)

    I am not finding any malware in your logs. What malware issues are you still having, if any?

    My internet kept redirecting me everywhere last night through google searches. Some of my programs were running a little slow today, but i also was performed the MBAM scan 2 times today a that was 3hours a scan... so that could have been the issue with them slowing down..
    I did a little research on some programs and ran what i mentioned above. I just want to make sure everything is gone that does not need to be here. Is there anything that i should run that could detect somethings i may have missed?

    Thank you again Tim for your response. I greatly appreciate it :)

    Just let me know it the redirects return. In the meantime;

    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 real time protection. They do not use any significant amount of resources ( except a little disk space ) until you run a scan.We recommend them for doing backup scans when you suspect a malware infection.
    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. Go back to step 6 of the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. 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.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. 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.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 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.

    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
