Firefox-patch.js Attack Clean-up

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please do not attach MGlogs.rar files that you created. Only attach the MGlogs.zip file that is automatically created by MGtools. If you have problems running MGtools then please explain what problems you had.

Let's begin the cleanup by first uninstalling Spybot Search and Destroy which could be getting in our way.
Then backup your bookmarks >> Export BookMarks

Now uninstall Firefox since it may have been badly infected and it is a good idea to cleanup all of the folders for it. Do not reinstall until requested to do so.


Please download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Run OTM.exe 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
• Make sure that you scroll all the way to the bottom of the code box to get the whole fix!

Code:

:Commands
[purity]
[EmptyTemp]
[start explorer]
[Reboot]

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
• Now click the large http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/MoveIt!.png button.
• If OTM asks to reboot your computer, allow it to do so. The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.
• Close OTM.

Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
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 please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.

• Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
• Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista, Win7, 8 or 10, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
• The tool will open and start scanning your system.
• Note: That JRT may reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting if this happens.
• Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
• On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
• Attach JRT.txt to your next message.

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, Win7, Win8 or Win10, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
• the JRT.TXT log
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome. Your logs look fine. You can try reinstalling Firefox now and Import the saved bookmarks. Then check to make sure that the problems you were previously having with Firefox are gone.

Malwarebytes could have been having issues with Spybot or potentially Microsoft Security Essentials. Since Spybot is now uninstalled, you can try disabling the Real Time Protection in Microsoft Security Essentials and then running a scan with Malwarebytes.
