Solved Google search being redirected

[KennyMcCormick]

Hi guys, Lately My google search is being hijacked and being redirected to random sites. It happens a lot now that's making me worried and frustrated. I know that there is a spyware somewhere but I all of my anti-spyware programs arent detecting any of it. I have avg, spywaredoctor, blacklight. reimage and malwarebytes.. none of which detect anything -_- I attaced the HJL file. Please help me! I also attached a screenshot where I see the that same icon (circled in red) every single time I get redirected.

Please download ComboFix from Here or Here to your Desktop.

**Note: In the event you already have Combofix, this is a new version that I need you to download. It is important that it is saved directly to your desktop**

1. Please, never rename Combofix unless instructed.
2. Close any open browsers.
3. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
   • Very Important! Temporarily disable your anti-virus, script blocking and any anti-malware real-time protection before performing a scan. They can interfere with ComboFix or remove some of its embedded files which may cause "unpredictable results".
   • Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive. If yours is not listed and you don't know how to disable it, please ask.
   NOTE1. If Combofix asks you to install Recovery Console, please allow it.
   NOTE 2. If Combofix asks you to update the program, always do so.
   • Close any open browsers.
   • WARNING: Combofix will disconnect your machine from the Internet as soon as it starts
   • Please do not attempt to re-connect your machine back to the Internet until Combofix has completely finished.
   • If there is no internet connection after running Combofix, then restart your computer to restore back your connection.
4. Please open Notepad
   • Click Start , then Run
   • Type notepad .exe in the Run Box.
5. Now copy/paste the entire content of the codebox below into the Notepad window:
   
   

   TDL::
   C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\disk.sys

6. Save the above as CFScript.txt
7. Then drag the CFScript.txt into ComboFix.exe as depicted in the animation below. This will start ComboFix again.
   
   
   
   
   
8. After reboot, (in case it asks to reboot), please post the following logs into your next reply:
   • Combofix.txt

**Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall**

Make sure, you re-enable your security programs, when you're done with Combofix.

DO NOT make any other changes to your computer (like installing programs, using other cleaning tools, etc.), until it's officially declared clean!!!

Wont Boot

Hey Broni, I couldnt boot my pc last night cuz I kept getting stuck on this Hardware Monitor Screen -_- is it one of the side effects of the malware/virus? I couldnt boot it even if I tried restarting it multiple times. I posted a screenshot of it

 

[Broni]

Let's see, if we can look at your computer booting from an external source.

You will need USB flash drive to move information from bad computer to a working computer.

You need to download two programs.

First

ISO Burner this will allow you to burn REATOGO-X-PE ISO to a cd and make it bootable. Just install the programm, from there on it's fairly automatic (Instructions)

Second

• Download OTLPE.iso and burn to a CD using ISO Burner. NOTE: This file is 270.3 MB in size so it may take some time to download.
• When downloaded double click and this will then open ISOBurner to burn the file to CD
• Reboot your system (Non working computer) using the boot CD you just created.
  
  • Note. If you do not know how to set your computer to boot from CD follow the steps HERE
• Your system should now display a REATOGO-X-PE desktop.
• Double-click on the OTLPE icon.
• When asked Do you wish to load the remote registry, select Yes
• When asked Do you wish to load remote user profile(s) for scanning, select Yes
• Ensure the box Automatically Load All Remaining Users is checked and press OK
• OTL should now start. Change the following settings
  • Change Drivers to All
  • Change Registry to All
  • Under Custom Scan box paste this in:
    
    netsvcs
    %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
    /md5start
    eventlog.dll
    scecli.dll
    netlogon.dll
    cngaudit.dll
    sceclt.dll
    ntelogon.dll
    logevent.dll

    %systemroot%\Tasks\*.job /lockedfiles
    %systemroot%\system32\drivers\*.sys /lockedfiles
    %systemroot%\System32\config\*.sav
    
• Press Run Scan to start the scan.
