    Hi davey3jobs,

    Sorry you cannot just post on someone's Topic (especially this one :D )

    You need to create your own >> New Topic, just for you ;)

    We can only Pray

    kritius and Bobbye are the best Malware helpers here
    But since kritius and I argue all the time :D Then I am praying a lot, that he will look through the posts and find something I've missed


    I'm out of ideas, I even thought Erunt may be returning the Malware or something (who knows)
    Hopefully kritius :rolleyes:
    (please?)

    Are the redirects in Firefox, IE or both?
  8. EMS0525 Newcomer, in training Posts: 39

    Yes they are.
  9. kritius TechSpot Guru Posts: 2,087

    Yes they are in Firefox or yes they are in both.

    Delete the copy of ComboFix that you have and then download a fresh one.

    Sorry, yes the search results are hijacked in both browsers.
  11. kritius TechSpot Guru Posts: 2,087

    Right. Do the ComboFix step then.

    Also,

    Download the GMER Rootkit Scanner. Unzip it to your Desktop.

    Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while the scan is being performed. Do not use your computer for anything else during the scan.

    Double-click gmer.exe. The program will begin to run.

    **Caution**
    These types of scans can produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any
    "<--- ROOKIT" entries unless advised!

    If possible rootkit activity is found, you will be asked if you would like to perform a full scan.
    • Click NO
    • In the right panel, you will see a bunch of boxes that have been checked ... leave everything checked and ensure the Show all box is un-checked.
    • Now click the Scan button.
      Once the scan is complete, you may receive another notice about rootkit activity.
    • Click OK.
    • GMER will produce a log. Click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "GMER.txt"
    • Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop.
    Post the contents of GMER.txt in your next reply.

    Start>run> Combofix /uninstall right?

    The icon is still there
  13. kritius TechSpot Guru Posts: 2,087

    Sorry no. Just delete the icon and redownload. Don't use the uninstall switch until I say so.
  14. EMS0525 Newcomer, in training Posts: 39

    here is the log
  15. EMS0525 Newcomer, in training Posts: 39

    I accidently performed the Combofix /uninstall before you had told me not to. Thats how i was informed how to do it from the last person i spoke to. I wanted to let you know in case it is pertinent
  16. kritius TechSpot Guru Posts: 2,087

    ok.

    Redownload ComboFix and post the log that it produces.

    Please download SystemLook from one of the links below and save it to your Desktop.
    Download Mirror #1
    Download Mirror #2

    • Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
    • Copy the content of the following codebox into the main textfield:
      Code:
      :filefind
      *brgjjtge.sys
    • Click the Look button to start the scan.
    • When finished, a notepad window will open with the results of the scan. Please post this log in your next reply.
    Note: The log can also be found on your Desktop entitled SystemLook.txt
