    Hi all, basically I'm using firefox and whenever I search something in Google and click on the link usually it redirects. At the moment it is redirecting to a site that doesn't exist but before it used to redirect to some sites with videos and stuff.
    So yeah I'm running a SAS scan at the moment but I was wondering if I can also run the MAM scan at the same time?
    Also i'll post logs here once everything scanned so please don't close thread:-D

    Thanks

    damn sorry for bumping again but it seems I do still have the problem:cry
    I'll post logs soon because combofix isn't available at the moment.

    Yes your bumping put you back in the queue :( and had you attached logs in the first place we could have gotten started already on a potential fix.

    You really need to ensure that you do take time out to properly read through the below READ ME which I will link to for reference, and after completing as much of that as you can, noting down any errors as you go, continuing on, you can attach all of the requested logs and we can get to work on assisting you :)

    it's available now.

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Please read ALL of this message including the notes before doing anything.

    Pleases follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
    • **** If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going. ****
    • Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.

    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    Helpful Notes:

    1. If you run into problems trying to run the READ & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode, you can run the steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
    2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools and the manual updates for SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes ( links are given in the READ & RUN ME) onto another PC and then burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.
    3. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    Any additional post is a bump which will add more delay. Once you attach the logs, your thread will be in the work queue and as stated our system works the oldest threads FIRST.
