Yahoo redirect problem!!

Please run both MGTools.exe and ComboFix.exe. Then attach those logs.

 

Is this computer on a domain ( sanchezog.com )? If so, do not check the 017 line boxes in the HJT fix.

Please disable all anti-virus and anti-spyware programs while we do the following (re-enable when you are finished):

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:

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now use windows explorer to find and delete:
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\SAHERGIDUV
c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\2b6fbf8

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 logs:

* C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You didn't have HJT fix anything!

Reset Host File

• Open Notepad.
• Copy and Paste everything from the Code Box below into Notepad: (Do not include the word Code:)
  Code:

  @Echo off
  pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
  attrib -h -s -r hosts
  echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
  attrib +r +h +s hosts
  popd
  del %0

• Go to File >> Save As
• Save File name as FixHosts.bat
• Change Save as Type to All Files and save the file to your Desktop.

Now double click on the desktop FixHosts.bat to run the batch file. It will self-delete when completed.

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 logs:

* C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

Let's do it the old fashioned way:

Click Start > Run and type in cmd

• Click OK.
• This will open a command prompt.
• Type or copy and paste the following line in the command window:
  ipconfig /flushdns
• Hit Enter
• Exit the command window

Now:
Download HostsXpert and then follow the below steps.

• Unzip HostsXpert.zip
• It will create a folder named HostsXpert in whatever folder you extract it to.
• Run HostsXpert.exe by double clicking on it.
• Click the Make Writeable? button. (if you only see a Make Read-Only selection, it is already writeable so skip this button).
• Click Restore Microsoft's Hosts File and then click OK.
• Click the X to exit the program

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 logs:

* C:\MGlogs.zip

EDIT; You are doing this on an account with Admin. privileges?? Yes??

 

Then have you tried to manually remove all the items in your hosts file that were listed in the HJT fix I gave you?

 

I mean you need to go to:
windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts and open it with notepad and delete all but the first two files which should be:

Code:

127.0.0.1       localhost
::1             localhost

Possibly only the first will be there....but delete all the rest in the list and when done, click File/Save.

 

You aren't hitting Save As are you?

 

I am not sure what you are doing, but make sure it is this:

When editing the HOSTS file remember to File > Save (only)

• Do not File > Save As
• Do not "associate" the HOSTS file with Notepad, this occurs when you select the option to "Always Open" the HOSTS file in Notepad. This will convert the HOSTS (no 3-letter extension) file to a "text file"

 

Please read this Host's Editor
Scroll down to Safely Rename the HOSTS file and follow those instructions. Tell me how that goes.

 

You may have missed my second post to you regarding using the Hosts editor site.

 

Did you press a key to continue? Can you now manually edit the file?

 

You have disabled all your AV and AS as well as firewall programs?

 

One more thing to try:
http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

 

And I suggest you try giving SpyBot a chance:

Open notepad and copy and paste this into it:

Code:

      # Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
      #
      # This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
      #
      # This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
      # entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
      # be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
      # The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
      # space.
      #
      # Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
      # lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
      #
      # For example:
      #
      # 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
      # 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

         127.0.0.1 localhost

Save as c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts


Tell me if that goes ok.

 

Give me a screen shot of the contents of the hosts.new file.

 

Perfect....right click it and rename it....just take out the .new extension. Then just hit save.

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. Any other miscellaneous tools we may have had you install or download can be uninstalled and deleted.
4. If we had you download any registry patches like fixme.reg or fixWLK.reg (or any others), you can delete these files now.
5. 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.
6. Go to add/remove programs and uninstall HijackThis.
7. 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.
8. If you are running 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:
