Hello, my name's Hiram. I wouldn't consider myself very tech savvy, but I have a general knowledge of my computer and I've tried everything from Malware Bytes to Avast to AVG to try and get rid of this virus or trojan horse or whatever it is that keeps redirecting my internet brower to ad sites and plaguing my brower with corner pop-up ads. Nothing's worked for months. I've even tried following the advice provided for others online to no avail. If anyone could help with this problem, I'd greatly appreciate it.

The only thing I know about this malware is that it has something to do with these hosts I found in my registry:

176.9.75.3 www.google-analytics.com.
176.9.75.3 ad-emea.doubleclick.net.
176.9.75.3 www.statcounter.com.
108.163.215.51 www.google-analytics.com.
108.163.215.51 ad-emea.doubleclick.net.
108.163.215.51 www.statcounter.com.

Thanks in advance!

Please review the 5-Step removal instructions and post the logs back here for my review.

Also, include this scan:

Download AdwCleaner by Xplode onto your Desktop.

Not sure if this is normal or not after running the program, but I'm still experiencing the same issues with the browser.
 
Great. :D

Please download OTL to your Desktop. (If you already have it downloaded, then just follow the instructions below).
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  • Copy the code below in the quotebox, and then under the Custom Scans/Fixes box paste it in:

  • Click the Run Scan button. The scan will not take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) and paste (Edit->Paste) the contents of these files, one at a time.

Note: in the event that OTL fails to run, please use alternate download links to try again:

Thanks for your reply. I downloaded the OTL program and ran it, but I'm not sure I did it right. It took about 25 minutes to scan and the log is enormous. So enormous that I tried posting it on here and it won't fit into one post. In fact, it would take more than 15 separate posts to upload all of it. I also tried attaching the log to this post as a file and as fate would have it, it's way too large. The browser problem continues, although it seemed to be resolved for a few minutes. I'm still getting pop-ups and being redirected. I really appreciate all your help, by the way.
 
Please run OTL

  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
  • Note: The fix for OTL automatically hides your Desktop and Start menu so the fix can be completed. Do not be alerted, as this is normal.
  • Please do not exit the program. It might take a while to fix, but allow it to run. If it asks to reboot the computer, allow it to reboot. If the program freezes, and the computer fails to reboot - let me know.
    Lastly, post the contents of the log. (Located at C:\_OTL\Moved Files)
 
Alright, I ran the fix using the text you gave me. Here is the log:

As for the computer, it's still redirecting the browser and I'm still seeing corner ads. I hope it's okay that I'm testing the browser afterwards.

And here's the link to the log for the run on TDSSKiller:

http://www.mediafire.com/view/?yu4sq1d1jkl4b17
 
Please run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, copy and paste in the following:

    :OTL
    O1 - Hosts: 176.9.75.3 www.google-analytics.com.
    O1 - Hosts: 176.9.75.3 ad-emea.doubleclick.net.
    O1 - Hosts: 176.9.75.3 www.statcounter.com.
    O1 - Hosts: 108.163.215.51 www.google-analytics.com.
    O1 - Hosts: 108.163.215.51 ad-emea.doubleclick.net.
    O1 - Hosts: 108.163.215.51 www.statcounter.com.

    :commands
    [emptytemp]
    [reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
  • Note: The fix for OTL automatically hides your Desktop and Start menu so the fix can be completed. Do not be alerted, as this is normal.
  • Please do not exit the program. It might take a while to fix, but allow it to run. If it asks to reboot the computer, allow it to reboot. If the program freezes, and the computer fails to reboot - let me know.
    Lastly, post the contents of the log. (Located at C:\_OTL\Moved Files)


Download the HostsXpert
  • Unzip HostsXpert 4.3 - Hosts File Manager to a convenient folder such as C:\HostsXpert
  • Click HostsXpert.exe to Run HostsXpert 4.3 - Hosts File Manager
    from its new home
  • Click "Make Hosts Writable?" in the upper right corner (If available).
  • Click Restore Microsoft's Hosts file and then click OK.
  • Click the X to exit the program.
  • Note: If you were using a custom Hosts file you will need to replace any of those entries yourself.
 
Okay, I ran the OTL again with the custom fix you gave me and the program did freeze up at one point, then it attempted to restart my computer, but it froze at the same spot it did last time. It was just a black screen instead of powering off. I had to cut the power to the computer just to be able to restart it. Here's the log for that run:

I also downloaded and extracted the HostsXpert program to C:\HostsXpert and ran it the way you told me to. The "Make hosts writable" button was highlighted red and I clicked it, but it did nothing. I also tried to "Restore Microsoft's hosts file" but it gave me the following error: "ERROR: CANNOT CREATE FILE C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS". Thanks again for all your help with this ridiculous problem.
 
ComboFix scan

Please download ComboFix
combofix.gif
by sUBs
From BleepingComputer.com

Please save the file to your Desktop.

Important information about ComboFix


After the download:
  • Close any open browsers.
  • 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". Please visit here if you don't know how.
  • 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.
Running ComboFix:
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  • When ComboFix finishes, it will produce a report for you.
  • Please post the report, which will launch or be found at "C:\Combo-Fix.txt" in your next reply.
Troubleshooting ComboFix

Safe Mode:

If you still cannot get ComboFix to run, try booting into Safe Mode, and run it there.

(To boot into Safe Mode, tap F8 after BIOS, and just before the Windows
logo appears. A list of options will appear, select "Safe Mode.")

Re-downloading:

If this doesn't work either, try the same method (above method), but try to download it again, except name
ComboFix.exe to iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, or winlogon.exe.

Malware is known for blocking all "user" processes, except for its whitelist of system important processes such as iexplore.exe, explorer.exe, winlogon.exe.

NOTE: If you encounter a message "illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion" and no programs will run - please just reboot and that will resolve that error.
 
I ran downloaded ComboFix and ran it how you told me to. It automatically rebooted the computer. Everything seemed to go according to plan, but the problem continues to plague my browser. I even tried re-downloading ComboFix under a different names ("iexplore" and "winlogon") as you suggested and both runs were successful (though the computer wasn't rebooted like it was the first time), but none of them fixed the problem. I tried running ComboFix in safe mode but I couldn't figure out how to kill Avast and AVG as neither one showed up on the task bar or in the task manager (I tried other methods, but nothing worked), so I decided not to run ComboFix in safe mode since there was a risk of damage. Here's the log:

Download and run AVG removal tool: http://www.avg.com/filedir/util/avg_arv_sup_____.dir/avgremoverx64.exe

I was not aware you had run ComboFix repeatedly before you sought help here. Since ComboFix can be a dangerous tool without supervision of expert, it shouldn't be used any other time.

ComboFix Script

  • Close any open browsers.
  • Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
  • Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:
    ClearJavaCache::

    Folder::
    c:\windows\SysWow64\citywitch_3102805 dir

    Rootkit::
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ETC\HOSTS
  • Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe
    CFScriptB-4.gif
  • Referring to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe
  • When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt
  • Please post the contents of the log in your next reply.
 
Oh man... I think that worked! I haven't seen any corner ads or been redirected since that last fix.

And P.S. yeah, sorry about the many ComboFix runs... I should've asked for help sooner, I was just going by what I was reading had worked for others online. Here's the log for the last run:

THANK YOU SO MUCH. I think I love you. Thanks for hanging in there with me as long as you did.
 
Thanks for that! :D

Did you remove AVG? It's only good to run one antivirus program.

OTL Fix

Please run OTL
  • Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, copy and paste in the following:

    :files
    ipconfig /flushdns /c
    C:\Windows\Downloaded Installations\{BB1F9BC3-F3C9-499B-BDEA-C2A672A4F8D9}\WN111v2.msi

    :commands
    [emptytemp]
    [reboot]
  • Then click the Run Fix button at the top.
  • Note: The fix for OTL automatically hides your Desktop and Start menu so the fix can be completed. Do not be alerted, as this is normal.
  • Please do not exit the program. It might take a while to fix, but allow it to run. If it asks to reboot the computer, allow it to reboot. If the program freezes, and the computer fails to reboot - let me know.
    Lastly, post the contents of the log. (Located at C:\_OTL\Moved Files)


If it all appears to be good, so we will finish up to make sure your computer is protected from malware in the future.

Clean up System Restore

Now, to get you off to a clean start, we will be creating a new Restore Point, then clearing the old ones to make sure you do not get reinfected, in case you need to "restore back."

To manually create a new Restore Point
  • Go to Control Panel and select System and Maintenance
  • Select System
  • On the left select Advance System Settings and accept the warning if you get one
  • Select System Protection Tab
  • Select Create at the bottom
  • Type in a name I.e. Clean
  • Select Create
Now we can purge the infected ones
  • Go back to the System and Maintenance page
  • Select Performance Information and Tools
  • On the left select Open Disk Cleanup
  • Select Files from all users and accept the warning if you get one
  • In the drop down box select your main drive I.e. C
  • For a few moments the system will make some calculations:
    diskcleanup1.png
  • Select the More Options tab
    moreoptions.png
  • In the System Restore and Shadow Backups select Clean up
    moreoptions2.png
  • Select Delete on the pop up
  • Select OK
  • Select Delete
Run OTC to remove our tools

To remove all of the tools we used and the files and folders they created, please do the following:
Please download OTC.exe by OldTimer:
  • Save it to your Desktop.
  • Double click OTC.exe.
  • Click the CleanUp! button.
  • If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
  • The tool will delete itself once it finishes.
Note:If any tool, file or folder (belonging to the program we have used) hasn't been deleted, please delete it manually.

Purge old temporary files

NOTE: If you already have this installed, you don't have to reinstall it.

Please download CCleaner Slim and save it to your Desktop - Alternate download link

When the file has been saved, go to your Desktop and double-click on ccsetupxxx_slim.exe
Follow the prompts to install the program.

  • Double-click the CCleaner shortcut on the desktop to start the program.
  • A prompt will ask you if you want CCleaner to do a check to see what cookies it needs to keep. Allow that operation.
  • On the Cleaner tab, click on Run Cleaner on the bottom-right to run the program.
  • Important: Make sure that ALL browser windows are closed before selecting Run Cleaner, or it will ask if you want the program to close them for you (when you do this, all unsaved data may be lost in the browser).

    Caution: Only use the Registry feature if you are very familiar with the registry.
    Always back up your registry before making any changes. Exit CCleaner after it has completed it's process.

    Security Check

    Please download Security Check by screen317 from SpywareInfoforum.org or Changelog.fr.
    • Save it to your Desktop.
    • Double click SecurityCheck.exe and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box.
    • A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.
 
Awesome. Thanks, man. I was going to post the log for the OTL run but I ran the OTC right after and now I can't find it (I don't know if it got rid of it or not, I tried the address you gave me and the explorer didn't recognize it). And I did have CCleaner on my system, but it needed an update. I updated that and ran the cleaner. Thanks again! Here is the log for the Security Check:
