Solved Google redirect and no folder options

OK, you have two important Windows system files infected, explorer.exe and winlogon.exe
We'll have to replace those two files with healthy one.
You don't have ant replacements on your computer, so I'll provide those files.

I uploaded both files (zipped) HERE

Download both files, unzip them and paste both files into your C:\ folder

Then, I want to see, if you placed them correctly, so...

Please download SystemLook from one of the links below and save it to your Desktop.
Download Mirror #1
Download Mirror #2
64-bit users go HERE
  • Double-click SystemLook.exe to run it.
  • Vista users:: Right click on SystemLook.exe, click Run As Administrator
  • Copy the content of the following box into the main textfield:
    Code: 
    :filefind
explorer.exe
winlogon.exe
  • 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
 
im lookin online how to replace those exe files its not letting me delet them and everythin online is talking about useing the cds recovery console
 
Do NOTHING, than what I told you.
I didn't ask you to replace anything.
Please, read my previous reply CAREFULLY and act accordingly.
This is very dangerous step.
Follow my instructions to the dot!

It didn't work as planned.

Download both files again from my link and place both of them (unzipped) again in C:\ folder.

Let me know, when ready.
 
looks like it loads up fine then everything disapears and just my background shows and mcafees warning about the trojan pops up that it
 
i only have my background and mouse indicator nothing else on screen all restarts and checkdisk were on its own
 
There is a chance, that stupid McAfee removed explorer.exe

Press CTRL+ALT+DEL to bring up Task Manager.
Click "New task", type in:
explorer.exe
Click OK.
Is your desktop back?
 
No worries. We'll fix it.

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

Please download OTLPE (filesize 120,9 MB)

  • When downloaded double click on OTLPENet.exe and make sure there is a blank CD in your CD drive. This will automatically create a bootable CD.
  • Reboot your system 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.
  • Depending on your type of internet connection, you should be able to get online as well so you can access this topic more easily.
  • 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.
  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in:

    /md5start
    explorer.exe
    winlogon.exe
    /md5stop

  • Press Run Scan to start the scan.
  • When finished, the file will be saved in drive C:\OTL.txt
  • Copy this file to your USB drive if you do not have internet connection on this system
  • Please post the contents of the OTL.txt file in your reply.
 
We'll fix it, but it'll take a while, especially since my bed time is coming and I have to go to work tomorrow.
Just be patient and do not try anything by yourself.
That Bamital trojan, you have is a nasty piece.
