Inactive Can't access search pages like Google and Yahoo seach

Hi,

Recently i had an issue with accessing interner search pages like google and yahoo search. Other pages work fine.

I have looked for a Host fine and it looks fine with no suspicious entry.

I have tried spybot and malware but they didn't find anything.

I have tried to flush dns but same results.

Note: My laptop is on network, if i connect to wireless router in my office then everything works fine.

This morning i uninstalled and reinstalled my network adapter and bingo everything started working but after restarting my laptop i am back to the same problem.

I have also checked the firewall and it is not blocking anything.

Can i post the highjack log here? If yes then can i remove the lines in the log file where it is showing my company's name?
 
Welcome to TechSpot! I'll be glad to help you but we don't use HijackThis to screen for malware, so I don't need it now.

Please follow these steps: Preliminary Virus and Malware Removal.

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.
===================================
Please note: if you change anything on a log entry and it happens to be an infected file, the scanners may not read or remove the file. While I respect your right to privacy, you have posted on an internet forum that is open, as in not a secure site.

If there are some personal entries of concern, I can delete them for you when we finish.
=====================================
My Guidelines: please read and follow:
  • Be patient. Malware cleaning takes time. I am also working with other members while I am helping you.
  • Read my instructions carefully. If you don't understand or have a problem, ask me. Follow the order of the tasks I give you. Order is crucial in cleaning process.
  • 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.
  • File sharing programs should be uninstalled or disabled during the cleaning process..
  • Observe these:
    [o] Don't follow directions given to someone else
    [o] Don't use any other cleaning programs or scans while I'm helping you.
    [o] Don't use a Registry cleaner or make any changes in the Registry.
    [o] Don't download and install new programs- except those I give you.

Log file enteries

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have got all the log files and wondering if i can remove or amend mine and my company's name from the log file?

Thanks
 
Please note: if a file or folder has malware on/in it and the entry has been changed, the scanner may not find or remove it. I can delete the name when we finish if you like.

Keep in mind that you have chosen to post on an internet computer forum, which is not a secured site. It's not likely that anyone else but me will look at the log entries, but if there is enough personal information you don't want displayed, there is always the Geek Squad and the $$$ that it will cost.
 
Antivirus

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I am using eTrust Antivirus and do i need to uninstall it before i run the other softwares for log files?
 
Not for these scans. But when I have you run Combofix, I will give you instructions to uninstall eTrust and a choice of a temporary AV. Both AVG and the CA programs don't have any way to disable completely for some scans.

C:\Documents and Settings\u.rehm\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\01Q7G52F\SoftonicDownloader_for_microsoft-visual-web-developer-2005-express-edition[1].exe a variant of Win32/SoftonicDownloader.D application
 
My apology- it appears I didn't have my head on straight!

After running the AppRemover, please proceed with Combofix:
Please note: If you have previously run Combofix and it's still on the system, please uninstall it. Then download the current version and do the scan: Uninstall directions, if needed
  • Click START> then RUN
  • Now type Combofix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the U, it needs to be there.
--------------------------------------
Before you run the Combofix scan, please disable any security software you have running.

Download Combofix from HERE or HEREhttp://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe and save to the desktop
  • Double click combofix.exe
    cf-icon.jpg
    & follow the prompts.
  • If prompted for Recovery Console, please allow.
  • Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:
    • The Recovery Console was successfully installed.[/b]
    • Note: If Combofix was downloaded to a flash drive, the Recovery Console will not install- just bypass and go on.[/b]
    • Note: No query will be made if the Recovery Console is already on the system.
  • .Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs
    (If you need help with this, please see HERE)
  • .Close any open browsers.
  • .Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware
  • .If Combofix asks you to update the program, allow
  • When the scan completes , a report will be generated-it will open a text window. Please paste the C:\ComboFix.txt in next reply..
Re-enable your Antivirus software.
Note 1:Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
Note 2:If you receive an error "Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion", restart the computer.
Note 3:CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.
=======================================
Regarding the Eset entry for Softtonic Downloader:
Downloads hosted at Softonic can be preceded by a customized installer called "Softonic Downloader" which shows "commercial offers, such as the Softonic Toolbar."Downloads not hosted by Softonic are not accompanied by the Softonic Downloader.

CNet has something similar. My thought is that you shouldn't have to include that little extra process in order to download a program! Always try to download from the manufacturer's site-if it's a clean site itself.
--------------------------------------------
Please download OTMovit by Old Timer and save to your desktop.
  • Double-click OTMoveIt3.exe to run it. (Vista users, please right click on OTMoveit3.exe and select "Run as an Administrator")
