redirect problem

We still need the C:\MGLogs.zip --> from running the C:\MGTools.exe.

 

Did you set this:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5555

If not, please follow these instructions:
Change Proxy Settings.

Now:

* Please download TDSSKiller to your Desktop
* Extract its contents to your Desktop so that you have TDSSKiller.exe directly on your Desktop and not in any subfolder of the Desktop.
* Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bold command into Run box and hit Enter.

"%userprofile%\Desktop\TDSSKiller.exe" -v

* Follow the instructions to type in "delete" when it asks you what to do when if finds something.
* When done, a log file should be created on your C: drive named something like TDSSKiller.2.1.1_27.12.2009_14.17.04_log.txt which is based on the program version # and date and time run. Please attach this log to your next reply.

 

That scan didnt find anything. Are you still being re-directed?

 

Please run this: GMER - running with a random name and attach the log from GMER.

Then run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

* C:\MGlogs.zip

 

I need to see a new MGLogs.zip. Are the redirects happening in all browsers?

 

You still have this proxy server set:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5555
Did you follow the instructions for both IE and FF in disabling this?

Are you running any disc emulation software? Did you follow these instructions:

Step 6: Disable Any Disk Emulation Software (like Daemon Tools..etc)

• If you skip this step, we may be just telling you to start the cleaning process over again! DON'T SKIP THIS STEP.
• This is become a critical step before continuing the cleaning process. Disk emulation software is making it difficult to separate real rootkit like malware from valid software.

• See the instructions provided in the following link to disable emulation software and keep it disabled while we are still working on your PC.
  • http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic293569.html

If you are running emulation software, it would explain why the logs still indicate an MBR infection.

 

If you have run defogger, please attach a new MGLogs.zip.

 

You logs are no longer showing the MBR infection. No doubt caused by running defogger. I am not seeing anything that could account for the re-directs. Let's see if a little cleaning will help.
Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) 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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now run CCLeaner and then run ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

Are the redirects still happening, and if so, in which browser?

 

Please log into the other user account and run both SAS and MBAM and then also run the MGTools.exe on that account as well. Attach the logs.

 

There is nothing in your logs to indicate a malware problem. If you are still being re-directed, is it in every user account? Or is is only in yours?

 

You may need to uninstall both IE and FF to remove this problem. ( If you need assistance doing that, post in the software forums ). After doing a complete uninstall, then be sure by running CCLeaner and then download the latest versions of both IE and FF> come back and tell me if that worked.

 

If not already done, I suggest resetting router settings back to factory defaults and then reprogramming for required network setup. Many recent infections are getting into routers.

 

Good to know. 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.
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:
