Open by itself

I've a nightmare but I'm sure my psycologist can't help me on this.

When I open a website, a new website will direct me to adults page in a new window. This darn thing(whatever it is) becomes more annoying for the past 2 days. Usually, it'll occur when the first browsing after I boot in my PC but now this nightmare becomes more persistant. It'll occur most of the time when I open a new webpage.

I'd scanned with my Microsoft Antispyware but they seems can't find any.

Just slap me for being a computer moron.
Oh one more thing. This problem does not slow down my PC but it's surely annoying.

ps: My hair had become thin after I tear down my hair everytime this things happen. It occured again when I open this forum page. Please help me and save my hair

 

Welcome to MajorGeeks.com, please follow the steps below:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ & RUN ME FIRST Before Asking for Support

• Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifAfter doing ALL of the above and you still have a problem, make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps in the below thread to properly use HijackThis and attach the log:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Downloading, Installing, and Running HijackThis

 

Oh! Sorry, my bad

Right on.

 

Will be awaiting logs and results!

 

This is Private E-2 why reporting.

Been there, done that, more hair loss.

That annoying thing's still occur.
I'd done the things suggested in the thread. But SpyBot Search & Destroy hanged 4 times(IOW, the scan did not finished). And when scanning via online virus scan - Bitdefender and Panda Activescan, I've to boot to normal mode as I can't connect to internet in Safe Mode with Networking option.

Ad-Ware SE had managed to remove some ad-wares.
The not-so-clever Microsoft Antispyware do nothing other than use up my PC memories.
The Bitdefender had managed to remove some.
The clever Panda had detect some.

Below is the attachements after smoking 2 packs of ciggarette non-stop while waiting (Bitdefender alone is 1 and half hours scanning) the tools doing their jobs.

Err...birdflu.txt is from Bitdefender and SARS.txt is from Mr. Panda.

 

Please see the below thread on how to install and run Spy Sweeper and Ewido Anti-Malware. After you ran both programs, attach the logs to your next post along with a fresh HJT log from normal mode.

• Running Spy Sweeper...
  
  
• Running Ewido Security Suite ...

 

Do I need to run it in safe mode too?

 

A billion thanx to you. You're the man!. You made my day. I wish I could kiss you but I'm not a gay.

Looks like the Spysweeper or Ewidoo have done a great job. That monster didn't came to pay me a visit anymore when I fisrt open a website after the boot in.

Anyway, after all those steps, my PC now has a several numbers of Anti-Spywares/Anti-adware/Antivirus/etc. Will those things will effect my PC performance? And Bitdefender and Mr. Panda had installed their ActiveX plug-in, will they do any harm in the long run?

BTW, here's my report, General bjgarrick.

Roger and out!
Have a great weekend. And thanx again.

 

oops, sorry for my fingers...double post

 

Just to add.

Not like any other forums, this forum didn't use any reputation ratings for the helper. What can I say is, you guys are so noble. It's great to know you guys. I really mean it.

Keep up the great works! You guys rock! :thumbsup:

ps: Now I can have a sound sleep tonight as the nightmare had gone. And my hair are safe now

 

Please look in Add or Remove Programs for the following and Uninstall them if found:

Ewido

Spy Sweeper

Next, run CCleaner to clean up cookies and temp files.

Run full scans with Ad-Aware SE & Spybot S&D and have both programs fix what they find.
Note: Remember to get all updates before doing the scans.

Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start > Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:

• Temporary Files
• Temporary Internet Files
• Recycle Bin

And Click OK.

Finally, I would like you to flush your System Restore points. Please follow the instructions in the below:

• Disable and Re-enable System Restore
  
  
• Turn OFF System Restore to flush any bad Restore Points.
  
  
• Then, follow the instructions at the bottom of the linked page to Re-enable the Restore Utility which will create a fresh restore point.

After you complete the above, reboot and then scan with HijackThis and attach the new log.
Let me know of any problems you may have encountered with the above instructions and also let me know how things are running now.

 

Done.
Things are running smoothly with no moster able to create its own lair.

I don't know why SpyBot really doesn't like me. It hanged again after 10% of scanning.

Anyway, here the log files.
Thanx again for the hustle and bustle.

 

For Spybot, download the below and install. This is the manual update, sometimes the servers get too busy and act like this.

Spybot Search and Destroy Detection Update 1\20\06

 

Are you familiar with the below entries?

 

Strange.
I try to play safe(via Safe Mode), but it really stubborn. It hanged again.
But when in normal mode, it ran smoothly as a fish in a water. It did fixed something.

So, below is the refresh HJT log file and the stubborn spy reports. One full report, and the other is its jobs report.

Hard to say.
I don't know the IP adress in the regestry(is it an IP address?) and never check any. Should I remove it?

 

If you don't know those enties, yes I would remove them.

Your HJT log looks good, are you having any further problems?

 

Thanx a bunch bjgarrick! :wave:
So far, my PC is at its 'tip top' condition. No flu, no fever or whatever. Thanx again.

So, if I want to remove it (I think I will), should I remove it via regedit or by other medium?.

 

If you remove the enties I asked about, just use HJT to fix them.

 

I'd fixed the entries by using HJT. Should I need to delete the backup or it's nor recommended.

Thanx again.

Thanx again, man.

 

If things are running well, you don't need them.
