Virus Bursters?

Welcome to Major Geeks!


Please follow the instructions in the READ & RUN ME FIRST link given futher down and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

• If you have problems where no tools seem to run, please try following the steps given in the below and then continue on no matter what you find. You only need to try the TDSSserv steps if having problems getting scans in the Read & Run Me First.
  
  • TDSSserv Non-Plug & Play Driver Disable
• 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.

READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide


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 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:
   
   
   • Starting your computer in Safe mode
2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and 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.

 

Please take note of what the scans removed....esp. look in the Combo log.

Your logs are clean but we can do some additional cleanup:

Run this: Disable/Remove Windows Messenger to remove Windows Messenger. Do not confuse Windows Messenger with MSN Messenger because they are not the same. Windows Messenger is a frequent cause of popups.

Now download ATF Cleaner by Atribune. This program does not require an installation. The executable actually runs the program.

NOTE: This program is for Windows XP and Windows 2000 only. ATF Cleaner will remove all files from the items that are checked so if you have some cookies you'd like to save. Please move them to a different directory first.

* Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
* Under Main choose: Select All
* Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox browser

* Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
* Click the Empty Selected button.
o NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

If you use Opera browser

* Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
* Click the Empty Selected button.
o NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main ATF Cleaner menu to close the program.

When that is finished, run CCleaner --> both the cleaner and the issues ( making sure you do the backup when prompted).

Let me know how things are running.

 

What browser are you using? Does this happen in safe mode? Does it happen if you use a different browser?

 

Both browsers give you the redirects when using Google? Are you searching from a Google toolbar or are you actually typing in google in the address bar inorder to do a search?

 

Please follow the instructions HERE and then run Spybot and attach that log.

 

Just follow our instructions HERE.

 

Spybot found nothing.

I want you to do this:
Remove all toolbars and add-ons in IE. (Install IE7 if you have not already.)
Uninstall FireFox.

Run CCleaner ( both the cleaner and the issues - make the backup when prompted).

Reboot.
Install FireFox

Do you still have the issues?

 

Give me a screen shot of the problem if you would. Perhaps we need to add those urls to your host file.
