Resolved [Closed] How to remove search engine redirect virus

Status
Not open for further replies.
Hey guys, I have this nasty search engine redirect virus on my computer that I can't seem to get rid of. whenever I go to Google search results and click on a link, it redirects me to another site. It seems I can only get to the places I want if I manually type in the link. Also, I have IE on my computer, which I don't use (I use firefox), but IE pops up at random times with the same ilk of web pages as the google redirect, leading me to think the two are connected somehow. I have been using utorrent lately, so I'm assuming that's how this whole mess got started... Any help you guys could give me would be greatly appreciated.
 
Welcome to TechSpot! I'll help with the malware, but I need some information first:

Please follow the steps in the Preliminary Virus and Malware Removal thread HERE.

NOTE: If you already have any of the scanning programs on the computer, please remove them and download the versions in these links.

When you have finished, leave the logs for review in your next reply .
NOTE: Logs must be pasted in the replies. Attached logs will not be reviewed.
=========================================
My Guidelines: please read and follow:

  • Read my instructions carefully. If you don't understand or have a problem, ask me.
  • If you have questions, or if a program doesn't work, stop and tell me about it. Don't try to get around it yourself.
  • Follow the order of the tasks I give you. Order is crucial in cleaning process.
  • File sharing programs should be uninstalled or disabled during the cleaning process..

I note there were several programs installed on 7/26/2011. Please don't put anything else on the system while I'm helping you unless I direct you to do so.

I have been using utorrent lately, so I'm assuming that's how this whole mess got started...

How to remove search engine redirect virus

hello bobbye. I've managed to fix the problem on my own. I know you said not to take any action without your approval, but my dad said he had the same virus, and a malwarebytes scan on safe mode did the trick. I tried it and it worked! thank you for helping me, and sorry for wasting your time...
 
Thank you for the update. It is unlikely that Malwarebytes alone removed all of the malware entries. It is also common for one articular problem to be resolved, but leaving malware still on the system. There are programs to be uninstalled and entries to be removed. Might want to pass that on to your dad also.

When you find the recurrence, please start a new thread.
