• 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 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 may reset your home page to a google default so you will need to restore your home page setting if this happens.
• 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.

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
• the JRT.TXTlog
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

I assume you mean in Chrome. Just reset your home page to what you want.

If that does not resolve the issues with Chrome you will have to uninstall Chrome and then reinstall.

 

You're welcome.

Yes.




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.
3. Go back to step 4 oof the READ ME and renable your Disk Emulation software with Defogger if you had disabled it.
4. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis. If you don't see it or it will not uninstall, don't worry about it. Just move on to the next step.
5. 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.
6. Goto the C:\MGtools folder and find the MGclean.bat file. Double click ( if running Vista, Win7, or Win 8 Right Click and Run As Administrator ) 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.
7. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
8. 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.
9. After doing the above, you should work thru the below link:
   • How to Protect yourself from malware!

 

YOur last logs did not show this. They showed the below settings

Have you tried a simple Reset of Internet Explorer settings? Click Tools, Internet Options and select the Advanced tab. See the Reset button. Make sure all protection is off before trying to change your settings. Protection could even be blocking your simple home page change.

If that does not seem to work, try the below:

1 - Open IE Explore
2 – Click “Tools->Internet Options”, Open “Internet Options” panel
3 – Click “General” tab
4 – Delete V9 homepage link and set a new homepage link
5 – Click “Settings” button in the “Search” area, open “Manage Add-ons” panel
6 – Remove V9, then close “Manage Add-ons” panel
7 – Click “Apply” or “OK” on “Internet Opens” panel to save the changes

 

So in IE, v9 is only showing as the home page???

And you cannot change it? Is it grayed out?

Is all protection ( including UA ) disabled when you try to change it? Protection programs can block changes like this.

 

Okay then let's try the below when you get back.



Please download OTL by OldTimer.

• Save it to your desktop.
• Double-click OTL.exe to run. (if running Vista, Win7, or Win8 use right-click and select Run as Administrator)
• Check the "Scan All Users" checkbox.
• Check the "Standard Output".
• Change the setting of "Drivers" and "Services" to "All"
• Copy the text in the code box below and paste it into the http://img14.imageshack.us/img14/66/otlcustomfix.png text-field.
  
  Code:

• Now click the http://img171.imageshack.us/img171/2405/runscanotl.png button.
• One report will be created:

Also put a copy of the below file into a ZIP file and attach it here.

Now shut down your protection software (antivirus, antispyware...etc) to avoid possible conflicts.

Then attach the below logs:

• the log from OTL
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

I assume that you are running IE from a link file. The link may be where they have inserted the V( stuff. Delete the below link file:

C:\Users\Maciej\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Internet Explorer.lnk

Now exit and restart Internet Explore. If you still have the problem, tell me exactly how you are starting up IE.

 

The poorly thought out changes to Windows 8 can be quite annoying. Makes it very difficult to run things that were so easy in the past.​

Press the Windows Logo Key and hold it while also pressing the 'r' key. This is the hotkey to bring up the Run box. In the Run box, type iexplore.exe and click OK. ​

Did IE run okay? Any signs of V9?
