Google redirect problem

[gailk67]

I followed the 8 step process and would appreciate further assistance. My logs are attached. I have been experience redirects when doing browser searches.

Hi gailk67,

You have a couple nasty files on your computer according to HijackThis. Please start up HijackThis again and click Do a System Scan Only. Then check mark the files listing below.

• 
  [*]O1 - Hosts: 91.212.127.227 winsecure2009.microsoft.com
  [*]O1 - Hosts: 91.212.127.227 winsecure2009.com
  [*]O1 - Hosts: 91.212.127.227 www.winsecure2009.com
  

Next, click on Fix Checked. Then wait for a more experienced member to guide you from there on what you should do next.

Fixed and awaiting further instructions

Thanks. I did as you said and fixed those three files. I will wait for more information.

In the SUPERAntiSpyware log you had 1 Adware and 1 Rootkit.Agent, did you also delete both of those from your scan?

 

[gailk67]

Yes. I went into Manage Quarantine items and selected remove on both of them.

Alright, now we just wait for a more experienced member to guide you where to next. I'm not sure if they want you to run ComboFix or another program, so just sit tight patiently.

 

[gailk67]

Will do. Is this mostly a nuisance problem or is it more dangerous than that?

 

[AnonymousSurfer]

No, I was accidentally leading people the wrong way when dealing with helping them, so just need to have a more experienced member make sure I am leading you on the right path (which I believe I am) and that the nasty files were removed successfully, which is why I said they may have you run another program just to make sure.

 

[gailk67]

Ok thanks. I appreciate your help.

 

[AnonymousSurfer]

I couldn't tell if that was sarcasm but I think you were telling the truth.

 

[gailk67]

No sarcasm. I do appreciate your help in getting me this far.

Oh no problem. Yeah, before I wasn't guiding them very much and leaving em off a couple steps, but I think I did almost all to all of the necessary steps today.
