ie google search redirect, firefox vimax ads (these were stopped with adblock)
Hi,
I was at a site at approx 9:30 last night that asked me to download the newest version of flashplayer (v10). I still have the culprit file in the trash (can send if you wish), I'm now running in safe mode. When I installed the program, windows defender and avg immediately said I had a virus and moved to quarantine. Everything froze, had to restart. Spybot doesn't open. Avg and windows system scans see nothing. I see a strange process in task manager: 190589026.tmp. First I can't download hijackthis/ malwarebites' antimalware/ superantispyware (web page is blocked). Then when I get around that by going to a cached webpage I can download the programs, but the install doesn't work. When I installed HJT, I crashed. Thanks in advance, any add'l info needed I can provide ASAP.

Re: ie google search redirect, firefox vimax ads (these were stopped with adblock)
hi.
Welcome to TSF once again. You may wish to subscribe to this thread to get immediate notification of replies as soon as they are posted. To do this click Thread Tools, then click Subscribe to this Thread. Make sure it is set to Instant Notification, then click Subscribe ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note that these fixes are not instantaneous. Most infections require more than one round to properly eradicate. Please stay with me until given the 'all clear' even if symptoms seemingly abate. Kindly follow my instructions and please do no fixing on your own or running of scanners unless requested by a helper. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I am sorry to inform you that one or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan. This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and download and execute files. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation. How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- We will begin with ComboFix.exe. Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running the tool: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/comb...o-use-combofix * You must rename it before saving it. Rename it from Combofix.exe to Combo-fix.exe . Save it to your desktop. * Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix. You can find instructions HERE. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review Mark

Re: ie google search redirect, firefox vimax ads (these were stopped with adblock)
hi.
When you double-click Combofix, did it get an error? What else happen? Could you be more descriptive? Can you try it again?Yup. AVG is disabled. Mark

Re: ie google search redirect, firefox vimax ads (these were stopped with adblock)
(all done in safe mode)
OK, ran ComboFix, used the link in the notification to download and install another version just to be safe, then ran again. Got the following message at command prompt: "cannot access the specified device/path/file, may not have the appropriate permission" (and I haven't been able to sign on as administrator). But kept going w/ combofix, saw the display that "backs up Windows Registry." After that I got a notification: detected rootkit: must reboot. You may need to record this for later use: C:\Windows\System32\drivers\MSIVXiqdpyddinbehckvbpdiwolovyqcfopur.sys. Then it reboots, to regular mode (not safe) but nothing happens (nothing has changed). Think I'm doing something (many things) wrong; sorry. Should I not be in safe mode? |

Re: ie google search redirect, firefox vimax ads (these were stopped with adblock)
hi.
Please re-run Combofix in normal mode. Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. You can find instructions HERE. Double click on Combo-Fix.exe & follow the prompts. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply. Mark

C:\ComboFix.txt (not quite)
sorry for the slow reply, had a phone call, I'm checking this post immediately now. When I restart in normal mode, any ComboFix materials are invisible!

Re: ie google search redirect, firefox vimax ads (these were stopped with adblock)
Also, the Combo-Fix install is visible on the desktop, but upon clicking to install, got the message:
"Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item." |

We will try this one again. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Before beginning the fix, read this post completely. If there's anything that you do not understand, kindly ask your questions before proceeding. Ensure that there aren't any opened browsers when you are carrying out the procedures below. Save the following instructions in Notepad as this webpage would not be available when you're carrying out the fix. It is IMPORTANT that you don't miss a step & perform everything in the correct order/sequence. --------------------------------------------------------------------------

C:\ComboFix.txt - I must be screwing something up
tried again,
- Did combofix in safe mode, got several messages in command prompt ("Access Denied. Admin permissions are needed to use the selected options, use an admin command prompt to complete these tasks"), then program scanned for infected files. Then I got same message (and same .sys to remember) as last time (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\MSIVXiqpyddinbehckvbpdiwolodvyqcfopcr.sys). Then it restarted and I pressed F8 to get into safe mode. Desktop popped up, nothing happened. Ran combofix again and same as before with same .sys file listed (repeat of last 2 times). - the only sign of combofix I can find when I restart in safe mode is the desktop icon (can't see anything when I restart in normal mode), so hopefully the logs are automatically created or I will be prompted to create them? Otherwise I fear I downloaded combofix incorrectly? |

Re: ie google search redirect, firefox vimax ads (these were stopped with adblock)
hi.
Let check what is left on the infection. Double-click GMER.exe you downloaded before. When the program opens and click on the Rootkit tab. Make sure all the boxes on the right of the screen are checked, EXCEPT for 'Show All'. Click on Scan. Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "ark.txt" or it will save as a .log file which cannot be uploaded to your post. Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop. Attach that ARK.txt in your next reply. **Caution** Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries Mark

Re: ie google search redirect, firefox vimax ads (these were stopped with adblock)
hi.
The rootkit installed is quite persistent. Please bear with me as we clean it. IMPORTANT Before beginning the fix, read this post completely. If there's anything that you do not understand, kindly ask your questions before proceeding. Ensure that there aren't any opened browsers when you are carrying out the procedures below. Save the following instructions in Notepad as this webpage would not be available when you're carrying out the fix. It is IMPORTANT that you don't miss a step & perform everything in the correct order/sequence. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In safe mode with networking
Hope it will work this time around. Mark

off for the evening. I'll be back around 9-10 am. Anything I can do to help get this done ASAP, just say the word.
thanks for the help so far! |

followed the instructions to the letter. Basically, same procedure (and problem) happened as before.
downloaded using binsill and installed from the link in safe mode, then started ComboFix. After same admin request and 2 loud beeps, it did the registry backup. last popup: "combofix detected presence of rootkit activity & needs reboot, note name of each file." The old .sys is posted as before. I click 'ok.' Then reboots, I hit F8 for safe mode, and get desktop again like nothing happened, no .txt file. I have no spyware/ etc. icons in my tray. I have safely remove hardware, internet connection, and sound icons only. I even turned off firewall in windows defender to be sure. Does it matter that even in safe mode, I can't access spybot? Or AVG (except for the command line scan)? Just like Malwarebytes or suparantispyware, clicking on the icon under these programs gives me nothing.

I know its frustrating but we are dealing with a nasty infection. Not an easy task to do.I'm afraid we have to do it again. Follow thoroughly the instruction in disabling Windows defender. We need to disable that. This is very important. Quote:
