Solved Search redirection virus/rootkit

OTL attached.

I know I need to clean up free space, but I really have nowhere to move the files at the moment. Gotta buy a new hard drive.

Thanks for the reminder, though.

You have to. Even DVD, USB sticks will do for now.

You didn't run my fix

The files I have would be hard to burn to DVDs, and HDD space is cheaper.

I did run your fix though... It's in the custom scans/fixes box.

Edit: What might happen if I don't fix it soon?

 

[Broni]

No, you didn't.
If you did:

You will get a log that shows the results of the fix. Please post it.

...and nothing was removed.
Please, retry.

Edit: What might happen if I don't fix it soon?

Free space?

or some next day your computer may not boot anymore.

 

[Piecake]

Oh, I apologize. I hit "Quick Scan" and not "Run Fix". Doh! >.<

Will post back with results.

 

[Broni]

I told you....hehehehe

Kapersky looks like it's going to take a long time to run. I was going to try and stay awake for it, but I'll just let it run while I sleep.

-crosses fingers-

Here's the SecurityCheck log while I'm here.

 

[Piecake]

The scan is currently at about 7 hours and it's only 50% done. Is it possible we can use another scanner? I have a lot of very large media files on this computer, and uploading them to an internet scanner is very, very slow.

Edit: 9 hours, 15 minutes and still only 50%. It's taking a very long time to scan my raw video files.

Edit 2: I had to cancel the scan at 14 hours. It was only 51%, and still trying to work through all of my video files.

You didn't follow my instructions (post #50) about removing old Java versions.
Please, do it now.

Instead of Kaspersky...

Please run a free online scan with the ESET Online Scanner

• Disable your antivirus program
• Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use
• IMPORTANT! UN-check Remove found threats
• Click Start
• Accept any security warnings from your browser.
• Check Scan archives
• Click Start
• ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
• When the scan completes, push List of found threats
• Push Export to text file , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.

 

[Piecake]

I did run JavaRa, but just in case, I ran it again now.

Running ESET scan.

Edit: When I download the Eset Online Scanner, it says "Proxy not configured" when i hit start...?

 

[Broni]

Please run a BitDefender Online Scan

• Disable your antivirus program.
• Click Start Scanner button.
• Click Start scan button
• Allow browser plug-in to be installed when prompted.
• Click I Agree to agree to the EULA.
• Please refrain from using the computer until the scan is finished.
• When the scan is finished, click on View log.
• Notepad will open with scan results.
• Save the report to your desktop and post its content in your next reply.

OTL removed, system restore set, WOT installed.

Everything is running perfect, and I've also begun cleaning up space. (Already up to 45GB free)

Thank you very much for your help. You deserve a medal for sticking with me through this.

Good luck and stay safe
