Hello there,
It seems like my dad has run into a pretty nasty piece of software here, and I can't seem to figure it out. I went through some of basic of cleaning up the drive with no luck.
The adware/virus redirects google searches to random ad sites. It also prevents some software from functioning at all.
First thing I did was attempt to run Windows System Restore. It seems the "Next" button is disabled. You can click it, but the process won't proceed any further. Then I ran a boot-time anti virus scan using Avast. That got rid of a few viruses. Then I did a full thorough scan in safe mode, which caught a few more. Note that I cannot receive any updates for Avast on this machine. I tried to run SpyBot S&D, but the software never loads. After a reinstall of Spybot, it still wouldn't load (nor can it update. The update process gets redirected to 127.0.0.1 and fails, of course).
I run AdAware, although it cannot update itself. It only caught a few cookies here and there. I also ran MalWare Bytes AntiMaleware software, but the .exe file never runs.
I run the GMER software, but the .exe file never executes. The DDS file works, however. Overall, it looks extremely bad. I don't know what happened prior to the infection (not my computer), but I hope you guys can help me. Thanks in advance, and here is the log.
DDS (Version 1.0) - NTFSx86
