Yet another user with redirect problem

Welcome to Major Geeks!

Just an FYI, putting all that stuff in a D:\WinU folder like you did make them all look suspicious. This was not really a good idea.

Run RogueKiller and run a scan. After it finishes the scan, select the Registry tab and then select any of the below that exist and then click the Delete button.

Then immediately reboot your PC.

After reboot, run a new scan with RogueKiller and save a log as in original instructions and attach the new log.

Uninstall the below old versions of software:
Java(TM) 6 Update 26

Run C:\MGtools\analyse.exe by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista or Win 7, 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:

O2 - BHO: BHO Project - {3fdba1ba-ae28-4045-9048-4ed2f3865629} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: Yontoo Layers - {FD72061E-9FDE-484D-A58A-0BAB4151CAD8} - C:\Program Files (x86)\Yontoo\YontooIEClient.dll (file missing)
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [SpybotDeletingB7461] command.com /c del "C:\Program Files (x86)\Free Offers from Freeze.com\control.txt"
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [SpybotDeletingD3012] cmd.exe /c del "C:\Program Files (x86)\Free Offers from Freeze.com\control.txt"

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Now delete the below folders if found:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Yontoo
C:\Program Files (x86)\Free Offers from Freeze.com



We are going to be uninstalling your old version of FireFox and installing the new version. So do the below to save bookmarks:

• Run FireFox and click Bookmarks.
• Then select Organize Bootmarks.
• Then on the next window click File and then select Export. Save the bookmarks.html file to your Desktop for later use in importing.

Now download and save the installer for the current version of FireFox but DO NOT install it yet. Get it here: Mozilla Firefox 15.0.1 Final

You will need exit FireFox now and use Internet Explorer to continue with the below until we reinstall FireFox.

Start by uninstalling FireFox and then reboot. Do not skip the reboot.

After reboot, delete the below folders:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla

Now reinstall FireFox from the file previously downloaded.
Import your bookmarks file. (similar process to exporting).


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 new RogueKiller log
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

You're welcome. You should attach those follow up logs so that I can make sure everything was fixed. And then I can give you final instructions too.

 

You're welcome. Your logs are pretty good now. You just need ot delete the below files:
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Templates\657405y0j711t125n073v2rlu0r2
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Templates\jyr02gu08ec8psxwqlia810361u1ctb360b86eeogx4
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Templates\sqg56hj70vr8cyswsocq611864y4eqp516v88pljkc7

I don't really agree with any of this logic since everything you install becomes part of the registry and the registry is part of Windows. Also there are still many folders and files for the programs being created on drive C anyway.

For example the below:
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
C:\Users\Paul\AppData\Roaming\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
C:\ProgramData\Avira
C:\ProgramData\HitmanPro
C:\ProgramData\JCreator
C:\ProgramData\McAfee
C:\ProgramData\Mozilla
C:\ProgramData\RICOH
C:\ProgramData\Samsung
C:\ProgramData\Spybot - Search & Destroy
C:\ProgramData\Synology
C:\ProgramData\TOSHIBA
C:\ProgramData\VMware
C:\ProgramData\WebDrive
C:\Program Files (x86)\InstallShield Installation Information
C:\Program Files (x86)\Java
C:\Program Files (x86)\MarkAny
C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Security Client
C:\Program Files (x86)\Xinox Software
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\InstallShield
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Java

And all the driver files and other exe files for the programs are also being saved in C:\Windows\system32\drivers and also C:\Windows\SysWOW64


However it does not really matter. My point was really the name of the folder. Those programs are not part of Windows and really should not be in a folder named with "Win" in them. To avoid the suspicions, it better to name the folder on drive D to D:\Program Files which is the common practice when people decide to split up how they are installing things.


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 6 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.
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 7 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:
