    I am new here- well, at least registered new. I am by no means stupid, but I am not as up to par with computers as I should be either. I followed every step in the Read Me First, but to no avail. I tried my very best to follow every direction as written, but I’m sure they may be things that I didn’t do correctly. . My biggest issue is the Google Redirect- it’s really making my searching terrible. I also have Norton antivrus and it will not update. I will be uninstalling this and getting a different software once I figure out this issue and which would be best.

    I then followed the Vista Cleaning Procedure
    I was not able to run Combo FIX - It just sat on the first page saying it was going to start the scan. I left it over night and nothing changed- there sat the initial blue page with a blinking cursor. Because of this, there is no log for Combo Fix.

    Please bare with me as I am not so saavy with the technical terms but will try hard to follow the directions given.

    I tried to delete this thread, but not sure how--- so bumping till get this taken care of-
    I did all of the steps in the system restore but my husband didn't realize and added some back on --- he is banned until I get the virus out.
    In the meantime, I am going through the steps once again.

    Okay, I finally ran everything and followed each detail the best I could- Combo fix still would not run past the initial screen stating it was going to do the scan. Here are the updated logs--

    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    Your logs are basically clean. Did you shutdown ALL of Symantec before trying to run ComboFix? We need to get ComboFix to run as it may be the only thing that locates your problem. Try shutting down or uninstalling Symantec if it is necessary and then running ComboFix. Also you could try running ComboFix in safe mode too but you still need to shutdown protection in safe boot mode.

    Did you accept the TrendMicro HijackThis license agreement when you ran MGtools? You needed to click the Accept button twice as stated. The log did not show in your MGlogs.zip file. And it does not show as being installed.


    Do you know what the below fairly new file and folder are from?
    Code:
    "C:\WINDOWS\System32\"
    olecli~1.dll  Nov 20 2009          12  "OLECLIT32.DLL"
    RSFX          Nov 15 2009              "RsFx"

    I strongly advise you to cleanup your Desktop. Remove eveything but links to run programs. Do not download and save programs here and defintely do not use it for long term storage. You need to keep ComboFix.exe here for now as we need it, but we will be removing it when we are finished with your cleanup. A cluttered Desktop is malware's playground and it can also cause performance degradation especially when you start saving large files here like you are doing.


    Also delete all files and subfolders in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
    C:\WINDOWS\Temp
    C:\Users\Sew\AppData\Local\Temp

    Got rid of most of the stuff on my desktop. I only recently started saving things there because of this virus- it just made things temporarily easier.
    I did have my Symantec closed when I tried ComboFix. I just uninstalled it and will try again.

    I reinstalled MGTools. I'm not sure why I didn't hit the accept- but here it is.

    And I don't know what the file and folder you mentioned are, but I have had this virus prior to those dates- I can delete whatever needs though.

    Deleted all files mentioned that I could-
    Thank you for you help, this is driving me crazy.

    We just have a little more to do.


    Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator). This is really HijackThis (select Do a system scan only) and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

    R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {EEE6C35D-6118-11DC-9C72-001320C79847} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: NCO 2.0 IE BHO - {602ADB0E-4AFF-4217-8AA1-95DAC4DFA408} - (no file)
    O2 - BHO: Act.UI.InternetExplorer.Plugins.AttachFile.CAttachFile - {D5233FCD-D258-4903-89B8-FB1568E7413D} - mscoree.dll (file missing)
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {7FEBEFE3-6B19-4349-98D2-FFB09D4B49CA} - (no file)
    O9 - Extra button: Attach Web page to ACT! contact - {6F431AC3-364A-478b-BBDB-89C7CE1B18F6} - mscoree.dll (file missing)
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Attach Web page to ACT! contact... - {6F431AC3-364A-478b-BBDB-89C7CE1B18F6} - mscoree.dll (file missing)
    O9 - Extra button: (no name) - Cmdmapping - (no file) (HKCU)

    After clicking Fix, exit HJT.


    Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

    Then attach the below log:
    • C:\MGlogs.zip
    Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

    With which browser? Is it in both Internet Explorer and with FireFox? Does it happen in safe boot mode too? Where are you being redirected to?

    What is the below used for?
    O2 - BHO: GigagetIEHelper - {111CAA23-6F4F-42AC-8555-B48C1D87BBAB} - C:\Windows\system32\gigagetbho_v10.dll
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Gigaget] "C:\Program Files\Giganology\Gigaget\GigagetShell.exe" /s


    Note that McAfee states that it could be a problem: http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/topshareware.com/downloads/11006951/

    See if you can get ComboFix to run in normal boot mode. Shutdown ALL Protection software before trying. This includes anything from Symantec and also Windows Defender.

    I uninstalled Gigaet and tried searching in ie8 and Chrome and it seems to be just a fireFox thing as of now. I was able to run Combofix in regular mode too.
    Here is the log
