    I have been fighting with this one for 3 days now. Searched and tried all the following.

    Symptons:

    1. Antivirus programs disabled.
    2. System restore disabled.
    3. redirects from all search engines.

    I did a manual system restore from recovery console to the last date I was not infected. Now I was able to install AVG, and norton and Malwarebytes. Ran all but still the redirects. Replaced apati.sys, from another computer, and a few other files that I have read maybe infected from other forums.

    I have used the following programs to no avail

    1. Avg 9.0
    2. Norton anti virus 2010
    3. Malwarebytes
    4. combofix
    5. MGtools


    I am attaching logs.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Solved by using TDSSKiller:

    First try doing this:
    * Please download TDSSKiller 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.

    Thanks again experts for helping me and everyone else out.

    Hello, dsharbani

    Thanks for posting an update!

    * Please re-read our instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST:Malware Removal Guide - Steps 2 & 4. You need to have only one anti-virus program installed and MSconfig must be set for Normal Startup mode.

    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" /u
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /u, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    5. 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.
    6. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    7. 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.
    8. If you are running Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures in step 3 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.
    9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
