Solved No Internet access after running Combofix for Google redirect virus

[Broni]

Uninstall FixRedirectVirus.
Judging from WOT ratings it's just a scam: http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/fixredirectvirus.org

You're running two AV programs, Avast and TrendMicro.
One of them has to go.
Your choice.

Update Adobe Flash Player

TrendMicro antivirus was pre-installed on my computer when I bought it. The free trial has since run out and I uninstalled it a while ago. It's not in my program list anymore. Is there something else I should do to uninstall it?

 

[Broni]

That's fine.
Most likely some registry leftover.
We'll leave it alone.
Proceed with other steps.

Hi Broni,

Any response to my latest FSS log?

Thanks.

 

[Broni]

Sorry about it
It looks like email notification missed me.

Your computer is clean

1. We need to reset system restore to prevent your computer from being accidentally reinfected by using some old restore point(s). We'll create fresh, clean restore point, using following OTL script:

Run OTL

• Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following:

:OTL
:Commands
[purity]
[emptytemp]
[EMPTYFLASH]
[emptyjava]
[CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
[Reboot]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top
• Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
• Post resulting log.

2. Now, we'll remove all tools, we used during our cleaning process

Clean up with OTL:

• Double-click OTL.exe to start the program.
• Close all other programs apart from OTL as this step will require a reboot
• On the OTL main screen, press the CLEANUP button
• Say Yes to the prompt and then allow the program to reboot your computer.

If you still have any tools or logs leftover on your computer you can go ahead and delete those off of your computer now.

3. Make sure, Windows Updates are current.

4. If any Trojan was listed among your infection(s), make sure, you change all of your on-line important passwords (bank account(s), secured web sites, etc.) immediately!

5. Download, and install WOT (Web OF Trust): http://www.mywot.com/. It'll warn you (in most cases) about dangerous web sites.

6. Run Malwarebytes "Quick scan" once in a while to assure safety of your computer.

7. Run Temporary File Cleaner (TFC) weekly.

8. Download and install Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI): https://www.techspot.com/downloads/4898-secunia-personal-software-inspector-psi.html. The Secunia PSI is a FREE security tool designed to detect vulnerable and out-dated programs and plug-ins which expose your PC to attacks. Run it weekly.

9. (optional) If you want to keep all your programs up to date, download and install FileHippo Update Checker.
The Update Checker will scan your computer for installed software, check the versions and then send this information to FileHippo.com to see if there are any newer releases.

10. (Windows XP only) Run defrag at your convenience.

11. When installing\updating ANY program, make sure you always select "Custom " installation, so you can UN-check any possible "drive-by-install" (foistware), like toolbars etc., which may try to install along with the legitimate program. Do NOT click "Next" button without looking at any given page.

12. Read How did I get infected?, With steps so it does not happen again!: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic2520.html

13. Please, let me know, how your computer is doing.

 

[Broni]

The issue seems to be resolved.

 

[irukab]

Hi Broni,

I really really appreciate your help with this computer. I know it's been more than a month, but I am just now doing these last cleanup steps. Sorry about that. The computer has been doing pretty well. It was a bit slow and I lost the ability to connect to my network, but resetting to a restore point got me back online. Using google chrome seems to be much better/faster for browsing.

Anyway, here is the last OTL log you requested. And I will be making a donation.

Thanks again.

Very well then

 

[irukab]

Hi Broni,

Would you be able to help me with an avast! Setup Fatal Error that is wreaking havoc on my computer?

Thank you.

 

[Broni]

Let's see...

First run this tool to remove possible Trend's leftovers: http://esupport.trendmicro.com/Page...sions-of-Trend-Micro-products-in-my-comp.aspx

Then run this tool to remove Avast completely: files.avast.com/files/eng/aswclear.exe

Finally try to install Avast again.

 

[irukab]

I still get about 500 of these setup fatal error pop-ups even though the program is no longer on my computer. I haven't reinstalled Avast yet since I continue to get these pop-ups.

Plus, I have a Malwarebytes pop-up that says "[OpenEvent] Failed to perform desired action. Error Code: 2"

And there is another pop-up that says: "There is a file or folder on your computer called "C:\Program" which could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it to "C:\Program1" would solve this problem. Would you like to rename it now?

Help!

 

[Broni]

Download Autoruns for Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx
No installation required.
Simply unzip Autoruns.zip file, and double click on autoruns.exe file to run the program.
Go File>Save, and save it as AutoRuns.txt file to know location.
You must select Text from drop-down menu as a file type:

Attach the file to your next reply.

 

[irukab]

Here is the file attached.

 

[Broni]

Re-run Autoruns, click on "Logon" tab and UN-check following entries:

+ "ASUSPRP"
+ "Eee Docking"
+ "HP Software Update"
+ "RtHDVCpl"

Restart computer and let me know how it goes.

 

[irukab]

Hi Broni,

I am still having an issue with about 500 of these setup fatal error pop-ups as mentioned in my last couple posts. I wasn't able to address it again with you until now (also, for a while I couldn't reply to the thread for some reason).

Since it's been so long, I repeated the steps you gave me in the last couple posts. Now my computer will only boot in safe mode, so I don't know what is going on. I assume that is a problem.

Even in safe mode I continue to get the pop-up reading: "There is a file or folder on your computer called "C:\Program" which could cause certain applications to not function correctly. Renaming it to "C:\Program1" would solve this problem. Would you like to rename it now?"

Attached is the new AutoRuns file.

Thank you very much for your help.

 

[Broni]

What happens when you try to boot to normal mode?

 

[irukab]

It decides to boot in safe mode anyway. I have to restart with F8 and choose safe mode with networking to get internet activity...

 

[Broni]

Download Windows Repair (all in one) from this site

Install the program then run it.

Go to Step 2 and allow it to run CheckDisk by clicking on Do It button:

Once that is done then go to Step 3 and allow it to run System File Check by clicking on Do It button:

Go to Step 4 and under "System Restore" click on Create button:

Go to Start Repairs tab and click Start button.

Please ensure that ONLY items seen in the image below are ticked as indicated (they're all checked by default):

Click on box next to the Restart System when Finished. Then click on Start.

 

[irukab]

Sorry, for the Windows Repair, which link do I download? There are many options: Installer/Portable Mirror #1, #2, etc. Thanks.

 

[Broni]

Installer will be fine.

 

[irukab]

I ran the program. Once it finished it shut down the computer, but did not restart it. It still boots in safe mode. There doesn't appear to be a change.

What should I do next?

 

[Broni]

For x32 (x86) bit systems download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 32-Bit and save it to a flash drive.
For x64 bit systems download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool 64-Bit and save it to a flash drive.
