    Vimax ads on every web page

    Ok, screwed up. I didnt read the sticky about not posting hijack this logs.:-o

    I am using internet explorer with vista operating system. I keep getting ads for vimax (since yesterday) on every site that I go on.

    This was my smitfraud log.

    SmitFraudFix v2.391

    Edit by chaslang: Incomplete and unwanted inline SmitFraudFix log removed Please read the sticky threads and follow them.

    Any help you can give me is most appreciated.

    Thanks
    Johnny

    Ok, I ran the SuperAntispyware. It seems to have fixed the problem.:):)

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    You're welcome! If you are still having any malware problems, you should attach all 4 requested logs from the READ & RUN ME.

    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.
      • Delete the C:\combofix folder from combofix (if it exists)
    3. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    4. 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.
    5. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    6. You can delete the C:\MGtools folder and the C:\MGtools.exe file. You can also delete the C:\MGlogs.zip
    7. 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.
    8. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
