Internet Explorer spontaneously launching, plus Google redirects in Firefox

My instructions below are going to be deleting things related to the below which you have installed
AAdvantage eShoppingSM Toolbar
vshare.tv Bar Toolbar
vShare.tv plugin 1.3

Did you knowingly install these? Do you trust all of them? We don't. Do not continue with the below if you wish to keep them!! We will have to create different instructions to ignore these.

Uninstall the below:
AAdvantage eShoppingSM Toolbar
vshare.tv Bar Toolbar
vShare.tv plugin 1.3

Rerun RogueKiller and run a scan. After it finishes the scan, select the Registry tab and then select any of the below that still exist and then click the Delete button.

Then immediately reboot your PC.

After reboot, run a new scan with RogueKiller and save a log as in original instructions and attach the new log.


Now run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, 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 ( some may not exist anymore ) but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

• Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar
  ) and choose Paste.
• Now click the large http://forums.majorgeeks.com/chaslang/images/MoveIt!.png button.
• If OTM asks to reboot your computer, allow it to do so. The report should appear in Notepad after the reboot.
• Close OTM.

Now navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder ( assuming your Windows drive is C). This is where your log will be
saved in the form of Date and Time mmddyyyy_hhmmss.log. Just look for the most recent .log file. Attach
this log file to your next message.


Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win7, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).



Then attach the below logs:

• the new RogueKiller log
• the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome.
