Welcome to Major Geeks!

Please attach the requested logs from the below scans:

• RogueKiller
• Hitman Pro
• Malwarebytes
• TDSSKiller

Also run the below.

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.
• Note that JRT will reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting.
• 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.

 

Compress it into a ZIP file and attach the ZIP. Not sure why the log would be so large.

 

Redownload the Junkware Removal Tool from the same link previously given. Follow the same instructions to run it and attach the new log.

Afterwards, reboot your PC and then run another new scan with Hitman Pro and attach this new log too which should hopefully be smaller.

 

Okay go to Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the below:
Searchqu Toolbar

If you have trouble uninstalling it, try using the below to remove it.

Revo Uninstaller

Shutdown all protection software before running the below.

Please download OTM by Old Timer and save it to your Desktop.

• Right-click OTM.exe and select Run as administrator to run it.
• Copy the lines from the below codebox to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C
  (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy): Do not include the word Code: which is just a title line of
  the code box

[Reboot]

• 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 C:\_OTM\MovedFiles log
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Self taught. Years of using PCs.

Just to be safe, let's run another scan with Hitman and see it anything shows up in a new log.

 

Okay getting smaller and smaller with that log but still there because you had multiple user accounts infected.

Shutdown Firefox and your protection software and see if you can manually delete the below folders:
C:\Users\Angela\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\9f1cb36u.default\extensions\{99079a25-328f-4bd4-be04-00955acaa0a7}

C:\Users\Angela\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\9f1cb36u.default\searchqutoolbar


Then do the below.


Copy the bold text below to notepad. Save it as fixme.reg to your desktop. Be sure the "Save as" type is set to "all files" Once you have saved it double click it and allow it to merge with the registry.

Make sure that you tell me if you receive a success message about adding the above
to the registry. If you do not get a success message, it definitely did not work.


Now let's run another scan with Hitman and see it anything still shows up in a new log.

 

Not necessary since we remove all the bad stuff except two items that don't want to go away and they are for the Rich user account. But you should remove user accounts that are not used.

Run Hitman and see if you can get it to remove the below that it is finding.
HKU\S-1-5-21-2020196862-1690506499-254722715-1000\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Approved Extensions\{9D717F81-9148-4F12-8568-69135F087DB0} (SearchQU)

Anything that the below final instructions do not cleanup, you can remove yourself.




If you are not having any other malware problems, it is time to do our final steps:

1. We recommend you keep Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for scanning/removal of malware. You can uninstall RogueKiller and HitManPro.
3. Go back to step 4 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 or Win 7, 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 6 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:

You're welcome. Surf safely!
