    Hi,
    for the last couple of days a virus has changed websites like google and yahoo results, to show strange pages which don't relate to what i search, it keeps fulling my explorer with ads, and changes ads on pages, last time i checked facebook doesn't advertise sex drugs... i've tryied doing a virus check but everytime i do, something called SONAR closes down... which i am aware is one of the features of NORTON anti-virus software... Aswell as this, i am blocked from using MSN messanger on my computer.

    I installed AVG free virus scanner to see if it was NORTON, no help there, same thing, but this time it shuts down AVG Online Services.

    I researched such problems and came aware that the virus, was called bloodhound..

    I am on friends laptop at the moment, next to me computer. And i can get onto MSN

    Any help is very much appreciated.. You can added my on live messanger, (funmag@hotmail.co.uk)

    Welcome to Major Geeks!


    Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

    • If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.
    • 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.
    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


    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 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, Malwarebytes and Spybot ( 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. To avoid addtional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advise that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky Don't Bump! It Only Hurts You!!!. 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.
