    Apparently I may have downloaded something that I shouldn't have which was pretending to be a Flash Player upgrade. I plan to check my computer for it here soon and I'll be sure to post the log files, but first I want to ask about it just to be on the safe side.

    Blasted thin was called 'Search Here' and is still in my browser. I tried looking up info on it and read one article that said it's a trojan that'll destroy my computer. Is that true? Also worrysome is the fact this pop up appears once in a while.

    I'm not clicking to check anything with that thing, of course.

    Does anybody have any information they can share about this thing? I would appreciate it.

    Right, I had already done that after looking up some stuff on it.

    Here are the logs from that search. Also, I had found out what was causing the problems and I had uninstalled them, but I ran the malware-fighting programs anyway just to be on the safe side. Hope these help.

    That's good because you still have more to cleanup.

    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, 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:

    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.ask.com/?l=dis&o=15557
    R3 - URLSearchHook: uTorrentBar Toolbar - {bf7380fa-e3b4-4db2-af3e-9d8783a45bfc} - C:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrentBar\prxtbuTor.dll
    F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=userinit.exe,^,
    O2 - BHO: DefaultTabBHO - {7F6AFBF1-E065-4627-A2FD-810366367D01} - C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\DefaultTab\DefaultTab\DefaultTabBHO.dll
    O2 - BHO: uTorrentBar - {bf7380fa-e3b4-4db2-af3e-9d8783a45bfc} - C:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrentBar\prxtbuTor.dll
    O3 - Toolbar: uTorrentBar Toolbar - {bf7380fa-e3b4-4db2-af3e-9d8783a45bfc} - C:\Program Files (x86)\uTorrentBar\prxtbuTor.dll

    O23 - Service: DefaultTabUpdate - Unknown owner - C:\Users\Owner\AppData\Roaming\DefaultTab\DefaultTab\DTUpdate.exe

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

    Now uninstall the below software:
    DefaultTab
    Java(TM) 6 Update 39
    Viewpoint Media Player

    Now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment

    Please download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.
    • Run it by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7, or Win8, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).
    • Copy the lines from the below codebox to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C
      (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy): Do not include the word Code: which is just a title line of
      the code box

    saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
    this log file to your next message.


    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

    Then attach the below logs:
    • the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log

    Did as told, and it doesn't look like I've had any problems running the computer, so stuff may have worked out so far. Here's the log files, I hope I did them correctly.

    I've noticed that a few previously hidden files are appearing on my desktop and root directory, though. Is that normal after using OTM? If so, can it be fixed from the control panel?

    Has nothing to do with OTM. It has to do with running the READ & RUN ME and running MGtools. We do not want malware to be able to hide from view so we enable viewing of system files that are normally hidden. Since you are no longer having problems, the below final instructions will put things back to defaults.


    If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:
    1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware.
    2. Go back to step 4 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    3. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
    4. If running Vista or Win 7, 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.
    5. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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.
    6. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    7. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 6 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.
    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
