    Laptop got messed up. Office Depot supposedly cleaned it. What is c:\windows\system32\xpsp3res.dll/dnserror.htm#? And why when I click on a link, advanced media redirect takes me somewhere completely unrelated? Avast blocks malicious urls all day long. Something is wrong and I am no computer expert. Please help!

    Welcome to MajorGeeks!
    Have you checked the Time and Date on your computer and be sure that it is correct?

    Are you receiving an error when trying to log into or connect to secured Web sites in Internet Explorer? If so, try this:

    http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=k...13444&x=9&y=15

    Do you have a router? Have you followed the instructions for your hardware and reset it to factory default settings. Normally there is a recessed push button type switch that needs to be held down for some number of seconds to do this. After resetting to factory defaults on your router, you will need to reconfigure the router for your network if you have made any changes to the default network setup.

    If you still have problems - please follow the instructions in the below link:

    READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

    and then attach the requested logs to your next reply when you finish these instructions.
    • **** 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. MGtools will frequently run even when all other tools will not.
    • After completing the READ & RUN ME and attaching your logs, make sure that you tell us what problems still remain ( if any still do )!
    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 the 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 and Malwarebytes ( 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. If you cannot seem to login to an infected user account, try using a different user account (if you have one) in either normal or safe boot mode and running only SUPERAntiSpyware and Malwarebytes while logged into this other user account. Then reboot and see if you can log into the problem user account. If you can then run SUPERAntiSpyware, Malwarebytes, ComboFix and MGtools on the infected account as requested in the instructions.
    4. To avoid additional delay in getting a response, it is strongly advised that after completing the READ & RUN ME you also read this sticky:
    * 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.

    ComboFix is frozen and I can't close it. It's been over an hour so I don't think it's doing anything. How long does the MGtools take to scan?

    Here's SAS, MBAM, and GetUnKey, the last 2 froze up for some reason or another.

    Please attach the entire MGLogs.zip file - not individual .txt files contained in it.
