Google redirects and Windows 7 won't allow update of Mal-Ware programs??

For Malware Bytes
If you have a problem automatically installing the update due to no internet connection or other reason, you can manually download and install the update from here: Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Database


For SUPERantispyware
If you encounter any problems while downloading the updates, manually download and unzip them from here.


Why did you not run Combofix (if you have 64 bit windows then do not run combofix) or MGTools? These needs to be run after aquiring updates for MBAM/SAS, and scanning with both if successful.

Attach all of the requested logs when ready.

 

OK, can you at least get C:\MGTools.exe to run? If so then please attach the C:\Mglogs.zip that it creates into your next reply. Without that I am not able to help you so let's see if that works at least.

avoid running combofix.

 

You probably never downloaded it because you didn't complete every step of the R&R. go to this MGTools and download MGtools.exe.

Download it to your C Drive, double click to run, and once complete, attach the C:\Mglogs.zip into your next reply.

Using MGTools

 

and did you disable UAC before running MGTools.exe?

Please refer to our procedures and ensure you read everything, I realise some steps aren't working for now so just check everything out so that you know how to follow steps correctly.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

 

OK, I see that you have posted the log now, I have not looked at it yet, I finished work late and still haven't eaten, so give me some time and I will make a response as soon as I can.

 

1. Please disable utorrent from start up whilst I am working with you to remove malware.

2. Disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

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

After clicking Fix exit HJT.


3. Download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Right-click OTM.exe And select " Run as administrator " to run it.
• Paste the following code under the http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2455/4173556815_a721a91733_o.png area. Do not include the word Code.

Code:

:Files
C:\Windows Restore\Builder.exe

:Commands
[emptytemp]
[Reboot]

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
• Push the large http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2782/4174320048_f01c448b32_o.png button.
• OTM may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
• Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar), and paste it in your next reply.

NOTE: If you are unable to copy/paste from this window (as will be the case if the machine was rebooted), open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and copy/paste the contents of that document back here in your next post.

4. Also delete all files in the below bold folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).

5. Go to TDSSKiller and Download TDSSKiller.zip to your Desktop

• Extract its contents to your Desktop so that you have TDSSKiller.exe directly on your Desktop and not in any subfolder of the Desktop.
• Click Start > Run and copy/paste the following bold command into Run box and hit Enter.

"%userprofile%\Desktop\TDSSKiller.exe" -v

• Follow the instructions to type in "delete" when it asks you what to do when if finds something.
• When done, a log file should be created on your C: drive named something like TDSSKiller.2.1.1_27.12.2009_14.17.04_log.txt which is based on the program version # and date and time run. Please attach this log to your next reply.

6. Now something was missing from your last mglogs.zip so let's see if we can get a complete one this time:

7. Run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this and also attach the log from OTM.

8. Tell me how the machine is behaving now.

 

Please right click this file and run as administrator, then attach that log:

C:\MGtools\GetRunKey.bat

 

The correct version to run for x64 is GRK64.bat so try right clicking on that, and Run As Administrator

 

Just in case GRK64.bat does not run, try GRK.bat.

 

Still getting redirects?

 

I don't think there's any need unless the computer is behaving oddly.

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 of 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:
