    Sometimes when I click on a link it sends me to some ad like tuneuppro, or many others. When I close it and click on the link again it always works fine.
    I have carefully gone through every step of the malware removal and have all the logs saved. I will try to attach them to this post. There was no report from TDSSKILER since nothing was found.

    Hi there. :)


    Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

    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) - {5C255C8A-E604-49b4-9D64-90988571CECB} - (no file)
    • O6 - HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
    After clicking Fix exit HJT.




    Re run Hitman Pro, and have it remove the below ONLY:





    http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/9659/rktigzy.gif Fix items using RogueKiller.

    Double-click RogueKiller.exe to run. (Vista/7/8 right-click and select Run as Administrator)
    When it opens, press the Scan button
    Now click the Registry tab and locate these detections:

    • [Suspicious.Path] CRFWIZ.job -- C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Roaming\CRFWIZ.exe
    • [Suspicious.Path] FZIA.job -- C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Roaming\FZIA.exe
    • [Suspicious.Path] XGPB.job -- C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Roaming\XGPB.exe
    • [Suspicious.Path] \\CRFWIZ -- C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Roaming\CRFWIZ.exe
    • [Suspicious.Path] \\FZIA -- C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Roaming\FZIA.exe

    Place a checkmark next to each of these items, leave the others unchecked.
    Now press the Delete button.
    When it is finished, there will be a log on your desktop called: RKreport[2].txt
    Attach RKreport[2].txt to your next message. (How to attach)
    Reboot the machine.




    Download and run OTM.

    Download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

    Code:
    :Files
    C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Roaming\CRFWIZ.exe
    C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Roaming\FZIA.exe
    C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Roaming\XGPB.exe
    C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Roaming\CRFWIZ.exe
    C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Roaming\FZIA.exe
    C:\Users\Rhoda\AppData\Local\nsc6E99.tmp
    C:\Windows\tasks\PC Optimizer Pro64 startups.job
    :Commands
    [emptytemp]
    [Reboot]
    • Return to OTM, right click in the Paste List of Files/Folders to Move window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
    • Push the large http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2782/4174320048_f01c448b32_o.png button.
    • OTM may ask to reboot the machine. Please do so if asked.
    • Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar), and paste it into a text file to ATTACH into your next reply.

    NOTE: If you are unable to copy/paste from this window (as will be the case if the machine was rebooted), open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and attach the contents of that document back here in your next post.




    http://imageshack.us/a/img841/7292/thisisujrt.gif Please download Junkware Removal Tool to your desktop.
    • Shut down your protection software now to avoid potential conflicts.
    • Run the tool by double-clicking it. If you are using Windows Vista or Seven, right-mouse click it and select Run as Administrator.
    • The tool will open and start scanning your system.
    • Please be patient as this can take a while to complete depending on your system's specifications.
    • On completion, a log (JRT.txt) is saved to your desktop and will automatically open.
    • Attach JRT.txt to your next message.



    Please download AdwCleaner by Xplode and save to your Desktop.

    • Double click on AdwCleaner.exe to run the tool.
    • Vista/Windows 7/8 users right-click and select Run As Administrator
    • Click on the Scan button.
    • AdwCleaner will begin...be patient as the scan may take some time to complete.
    • After the scan has finished, click on the Report button...a logfile (AdwCleaner[R#].txt) will open in Notepad for review (where the largest value of # represents the most recent report).
    • The contents of the log file may be confusing. Unless you see a program name that you know should not be removed, don't worry about it. If you see an entry you want to keep, let me know about it.
    • Attach the logfile to your next next reply.
    • A copy of all logfiles are saved in the C:\AdwCleaner folder which was created when running the tool.


    • Now re run Hitman (just a scan) and attach log.
    • Same for RogueKiller.
    • Run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it. (Right click and run as admin if using Vista, Windows7 or Win8) Then attach the new C:\MGlogs.zip file that will be created by running this.
    • Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running!

    Thanks for your reply and directions. I have done all that you suggested that I do and still have redirection of links to things like pckeeper and adcash. When I ran RogueKiller I did not find any of the files you asked me to delete. I attached the first four files you asked me to attach. Since I can only attach five, I guess I have to write another post to attach the last four?

    It appears that I did not get the first four attached properly. Here they are (hopefully)

    Re run ADWcleaner and have it remove what it sees.

    Now explain how things are running. Any change? Which browser(s) do you experience redirection on?

    I ran ADWcleaner and removed what it found. Now I cannot get connected to the internet with that computer. I rebooted the computer, modem, and router, but still could not connect by WIFI or cable. The computer I am on now connects either way, and my i-Pad connects to WIFI no problem. This started as soon as I ran ADWcleaner.

    The redirection problem I was having existed with both Chrome and Mozilla Firefox browsers. Since I can no longer connect to internet with that computer I have no idea of it's status. The computer still works fine otherwise.

    I do not see anything that adwcleaner removed that could have caused internet loss.

    I may have to refer you to the software forum regarding your internet loss, however let's try this:

    Download Windows Repair by Tweaking.com and unzip the contents into a newly created folder on your desktop.
    • Now run Repair_Windows.exe by double clicking on it ( if you are running Vista or Win 7, use right click and select Run As Administrator)
    • Now select the Start Repairs tab.
    • The click the Start button.
    • Create a System Restore point if prompted.
    • On the next screen, click the Unselect All button to first deselect all repairs.
    • Now select the following repair options:
      • Reset Registry Permissions
      • Reset File Permissions
      • Register System Files
      • Repair WMI
      • Repair Windows Firewall
      • Remove Policies Set By Infections
      • Repair Winsock & DNS Cache
      • Repair Proxy Settings
      • Repair Windows Updates
      • Set Windows Services To Default Startup
    • Now on the lower right side check the box to Restart/Shutdown System When Finished
    • Then make sure the Restart System radio button is enabled.
    • Shutdown any other programs that you are running now before continuing.
    • Now click the Start button.
    • Be patient while the tool repairs the selected items.
    • It should reboot automatically when finished.

    Any better?

    Thanks for the help getting my computer to access the internet. After running Window Repair by Tweaking.com with you instructions my computer again recognizes my WIFI.
    The bad news is that I am still getting browser redirection with both Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

    Excellent. Now which browser(s) does the redirection occur in?

    Not seeing anything in any of those logs.


    Uninstall all of the below using Revo Uninstaller.

    • Google Chrome
    • Google Drive
    • Google Talk Plugin
    • Google Update Helper
    • Google+ Auto Backup



    We are going to be uninstalling your old version of FireFox (again with Revo Uninstaller) and installing the new version. So do the below to save bookmarks:

    • Run FireFox and click Bookmarks.
    • Then select Organize Bookmarks.
    • Then on the next window click File and then select Export. Save the bookmarks.html file to your Desktop for later use in importing.
    Now download and save the installer for the current version of FireFox but DO NOT install it yet. Get it here: Mozilla FireFox

    You will need exit FireFox now and use Internet Explorer to continue with the below until we reinstall FireFox.

    Start by uninstalling FireFox and then reboot. Do not skip the reboot.
    After reboot, delete the below folders:
    • C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    • C:\users\UserAccount\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox

    where UserAccount is the actual user account name being used.

    Now reinstall FireFox from the file previously downloaded.
    Import your bookmarks file. (similar process to exporting).


    Also reinstall all of your Google Components that you want.

    Now explain how things are running.
