Annoying Problem with Random Site popups in IExplorer

ie: 540.scmg.net/randomsites/banner.aspx. New windows keep opening in my internet explorer with 540.scmg.net/randomsites/banner.aspx or
filost/stop.htm or oldgames.se. I have read and done all that you suggested in the "READ THIS FIRST" posting. I have download and run all of the software and done the online Trojan & a2 & bitdefender scans. I have deleted the adware or malware that showed up on those scans. Even conducted them in safe mode as well. Still I have this same 540.scmg.net/randomsites/banner.aspx coming up in a new window in IE. I have also downloaded HijackThis and have a log attached for you that was run after I did everything else in the "READ THIS FIRST" posting. I have also attached my computer specs in the report.txt file. Is there a way to get rid of this nasty problem?

Thanks in advance, Meg.

 

Download this trial version of Ewido Security Suite

• Install ewido security suite
• Launch ewido, there should be an icon on your desktop double-click it.
• The program will have a window come up. One of the buttons on the left is to Update. Click the Update button.and then Start the Update. The update will start and a progress bar will show the updates being installed.
• After it completes the update, click the Scanner button

Now exit Ewido. Now print the below instructions or save them locally because I want you do have no browsers opened and also have no connection to the internet (unplug your cable) while doing the below.

Okay, reboot into safe mode and follow the steps below. (If you have any problems at all trying to get into safe mode to complete these steps, just run them in normal boot mode and make sure you tell me when you come back.)

Open up Ewido and do the following:

• Click on Scanner
• Then click Settings
• Under What to Scan? Select Scan every file
• Then click OK
• Click on Complete System Scan and the scan will start.
• Let the program scan the machine

While the scan is in progress you will be prompted to clean files that are infected. Leave the defaults selections (to Remove and backup) and click OK. To save yourself some time, you can select Perform action with all infections and then click OK. With the option to scan every file, a lot of cookies will be removed.

Once the scan has completed, there will be a button located on the bottom of the screen named Save report

• Click Save report
• Save the report to your desktop or anyplace you will be able to find it to upload here.

Reboot into normal mode and reconnect to the internet.

Come back here and post the Ewido Scan Report along with a fresh HJT log.

 

I have done as you asked. The scan worked in Safe Mode. I still have the same Random site coming up in IE. Thanks for your help, & prompt response.

Please look in Add or Remove Programs for the following and Uninstall them if found:

SpyBlocs

Ewido

Microsoft AntiSpyware

- Download, install and update Spy Sweeper Run it once while you are in normal boot mode.

- The boot in safe mode from and run SpySweeper one more time.

Now reboot in normal mode.

Save and attach the logs from both runs.

 

Here are the logs. I have removed the programs you asked me to.

 

Now a fresh HJT log from normal mode.

 

Here it is! Hey the window is not coming up anymore in IE. I think the problem is gone! I hope!

Thanks, Meg
