Redirect Virus and Click.Giftload Hijacker.

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Boot into the Windows Recovery Console that you installed using ComboFix. Once you are at the command prompt, enter the below command to fix the Master Boot Record.

fixmbr


Then reboot and see how things are working.

 

Okay then you will need your Windows XP boot CD to boot to the Recovery Console so that you can run fixmbr. Do you have your CD?

 

Normally this are factory recovery partitions not Windows Recovery Console partitions. A factory recovery, puts you back to the same state your PC was in when it came out of the box which is not what 99.9% of people wish to do unless there is no other option.

You can wait for your disk and then do the below

Or optionally you may want to try creating and using Hiren's CD to fix the MBR. See what was posted in message # 12 of the below thread and see if you can get this CD to run. If you still need special drivers to access your drive, you will need to post in the Software Forum on how to do this.

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 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 oof 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:
