Google telling me my "computer or network may be sending automated queries"

Your computer was very badly infected. Just to be on the safe side, please run Malwarebytes one more time and attach another new log. Then continue on with the below.


Please put your PC into normal startup mode with MSconfig as requested in the READ & RUN ME.

Also see step 6 and Disable Disk Emulation since you have Daemon Tools installed. This must be done before continuing.


Download HostsXpert and then follow the below steps.

• Unzip HostsXpert.zip
• It will create a folder named HostsXpert in whatever folder you extract it to.
• Run HostsXpert.exe by double clicking on it.
• Click the Make Writeable? button. (if you only see a Make Read-Only selection, it is already writeable so skip this button).
• Click Restore Microsoft's Hosts File and then click OK.
• Click the X to exit the program

Uninstall the below software as requested in the READ & RUN ME:
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 10
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 6
J2SE Runtime Environment 5.0 Update 9
Java(TM) 6 Update 11
Viewpoint Media Player


Now 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:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [LMSXXD] LMSXXD.exe
O23 - Service: Viewpoint Manager Service - Viewpoint Corporation - C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Common\ViewpointService.exe

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now we need to use ComboFix to remove a bunch of malware files.

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it has expired or need to be updated to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

After reboot, now install the current version of Sun Java from: Sun Java Runtime Environment


Now please run the below procedure and attach the GMER log:

GMER - running with a random name


Now run Ccleaner. Only use the Run Cleaner button. Do not run anything else on any other forms.

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

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• the log from GMER
• C:\MGlogs.zip

 

Did you Click the Make Writeable? button as requested?

Locate the below file in Windows Explorer:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Then right click on it and select Properties. Uncheck the Read-only and Hidden attributes if they are checked and then click Apply. Tell me what happens.

Now see if you can right click the file and select Rename. Rename it to hosts.old

Were you able to rename it?

 

Do you know what the below folder and file on your Desktop are?

Code:

"C:\Documents and Settings\Longphi\desktop\"
1             Apr 17 2010              "1"
106sx5o9.exe  Apr 17 2010      293376  "106sx5o9.exe"

Do you know what the below file is? It was previously loading at startup. Do you use any kind of Xerox copiers, scanners or printers?

Code:

c:\windows\system32\LMSXXD.exe

Now we need to use ComboFix

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Also make sure you have shut down all protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) or they may get in the way of allowing ComboFix to run properly.
• If ComboFix tells you it has expired or need to be updated to a new version, make sure you allow it to update.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

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

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You don't need to save them anywhere. They are already save here in your thread. And saving them in any place but the default locations will make our automatic cleanup processes fail.

Okay then look in the below folder:

C:\QooBox\Quarantine\C\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\

Do you see a file named: LMSXXD.exe.vir

This unsigned file may be related to your printer and you will need to get a copy back to your Windows\system32 folder named correctly as LMSXXD.exe.

Uninstall Avira, reboot, and then reinstall. Make sure that you have the current version to reinstall. See: AntiVir Personal Edition
