    Just a quick introduction. I've got the "Wellaction" flu: I think I retrieved it from a site "dedicated" to wordpress... That's when my AV went off. Supposedly it caught it and took care of it, but all my browsers went haywire after that. Chrome crashed, Firefox will not launch, both Opera and IE constantly redirect to "wellaction" which takes me to a gammut of different sites; porn to google searches - go figure.

    None of my current software is working (catching/removing it) so I've come back to MG again. I've successfully used the site in the past, I think the last time I needed it was five years ago. This time though, I thought I would go a head and sign up, so I can at least say "thanks" for the help and information.

    Off to do some reading and run through the initial processes. Fingers crossed.

    Welcome to Major Geeks.

    Would say Good Luck, but with this crew, you don't need luck.

    Just a quick update, and I'll probably have to eventually start a "help me" thread... I went through all the initial cleaning routines. Everything went fine until I launched rootrepeal... upon executing that, my system went ape-shot with AV Suite. This thing I can not get a handle on yet. I've worked through every freaking tutorial I can find on removing it but to no avail... A clean wipe is looking easier as this moves into it's third day. I need to get back to being able to work...

    I suggest that you start a thread in the malware forum and attach the requested logs. It's the only way we can assist you.

    Followed the Malware Removal Guide, this time is Safe Mode. System appears to be 100% at this point. If things flare up again I'll rerun the scans and post the logs. As always the content on this site is much appreciated.

    It would be to your own advantage to post the logs anyway so the experts can see if anything is hiding from you.
    They are VERY good at what they do and know what to look for.

    Not a bad idea... when I get a free moment tonight I will post them up.
