    You are way out of date with your version of SUPERAntiSpyware.
    • Please uninstall your current version (this is necessary).
    • Then download this SUPERAntiSpyware
    • Install this new version. It may tell you that you need to reboot to complete the installation. You must reboot at this time.
    • After the reboot, run SUPERAntiSpyware and immediately click the Check for Updates button to get more updates for the database.
    • Now run a new full scan of your system. And attach this new log.
    Also you did not download the current version of MGtools. So please download and use it to create a new log and attach it.



    Questions:
    1. Are you using a router?
    2. Do you have other PCs connected on your network?
    3. Are they having similar problems? Make sure you check! Because the infection you have will infect your router which will impact ALL PCs. Your router will need to be reset to factory defaults and then reprovisioned back to how you have your network setup.

    Thank you in advance for your help. I uninstalled and downloaded the new Super Anti-spyware and mgtools and attached the logs.
    Answers to your questions.
    1. Yes we do use a router but we are on vacation at this time. My son whose computer is hooked up to the wireless router now tells me his computer has been acting weird. I will reset the router and check the other computers when I get home next week. Thanks again.

    You're welcome.
    Yes you need to get this done quickly before the PCs themselves get reinfected again and then this would just be a circle of events where you would have to clean the PCs again and then reset the router to factory defaults again.

    Once you get the router reset, come back and tell us how things are working. The current logs you attached are clean but browsers will still be redirected until the router is fixed.

    These logs are clean. Just some minor adware was removed and some misinterpreted backups from games was deleted by SAS.

    If you are not having anymore problems on either PC, you should complete the below on both PCs.




    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" /uninstall
        • Notes: The space between the combofix" and the /uninstall, it must be there.
        • This will uninstall ComboFix and also reset hidden files and folders settings back to Windows defaults.
    3. Go back to step 6 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
    4. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
    5. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
    6. 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.
    7. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
    8. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click on this file to run this cleanup program that will remove files and folders
      related to MGtools and some other items from our cleaning procedures.
    9. If you are running Win 7, Vista, Windows XP or Windows ME, do the below:
      • Refer to the cleaning procedures pointed to by step 7 of 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.
    10. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
