Search Engine Redirected

[duke425]

When I search for something using Google or another search engine (this has also occured using Yahoo! and MSN) and click a results link, I am redirected to a page different than my results, such as a questionable search page covered in ads, or a site vaugely related to my search results.

Spyware Doctor, AdAware, Spybot, & Malwarebytes does not fix problem.

Looking for help.

We want all our members to perform the steps outlined in the link I'll give you below, before posting for assistance. There's a sticky at the top of this forum, and a

Having problems with spyware and pop-ups? First Steps

link at the top of each page.


You have a variant of a backdoor Rbot virus showing in your log. Even though the Virus has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, there is no way to be sure what information has been stolen from your system. If you do any banking or have recently paid for goods or services online you will need to change all passwords where applicable and it would be wise to contact your bank or credit card company to inform them of your situation. This also applies to passwords for any confidential sites you use such as Paypal, Ebay, Email etc... The infection you have has the ability to download and execute files, log keystrokes, Redirect connections, Sniff sent packets for information & Steal personal information so it is a very serious threat.

Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

I am new at this, so I really appreciate your help and instructions.

[tetonbob]

Hello -

I see parts of Norton AntiVirus still hanging around on the machine. Norton does not always uninstall cleanly.

Please use the instructions on this page to completely uninstall your Norton Products.

Next....

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.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Download ComboFix from one of these locations:
   
   Link 1
   Link 2
   Link 3
   
   * IMPORTANT !!! Place combofix.exe on your Desktop
   
2. Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with ComboFix.
   
3. Double click on combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
   
4. As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed.
   
   Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.
   
   
   
   
   
   The Windows recovery console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery mode that allows us to help you in the case that your computer has a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
   
   With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal.
   
   Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement.
   
   ComboFix will now automatically install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console onto your computer, which will show up as a new option when booting up your computer. Do not select the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console option when you start your computer unless requested to by a helper.
   
   Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see a message that says:
   
   The Recovery Console was successfully installed.
   
   
   
   Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.
   
5. Your desktop may go blank. This is normal. It will return when ComboFix is done. ComboFix may reboot your machine. This is normal.
   
6. When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply
   
   Note:
   Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.
   
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   
7. Ensure your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications are re-enabled. A reboot should have done this.
   
   
   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi -

No need to run ComboFix again just yet....go ahead and run the Norton Removal Tool. Also do this:

Please go to: VirusTotal

• On the page you'll find a "Browse" button.
  
• Next to the browse button you'll see a box to enter text.
• Please copy/paste the following:
  
  c:\windows\system32\drivers\_004240_.tmp.dll
  
  
• Then click the "Send File " button just below.
• This will scan the file. Please be patient.
• If you get a message saying File has already been analyzed: click Reanalyze file now
• Once scanned, copy and paste the results in your next reply.

Are your searches being redirected still?

[duke425]

I ran the Norton removal tool and then checked my browser it seems to be working correctly. Thanks for all your help. Here is the results of the VirusTotal Scan:

ATTENTION: VirusTotal is a free service offered by Hispasec Sistemas. There are no guarantees about the availability and continuity of this service. Although the detection rate afforded by the use of multiple antivirus engines is far superior to that offered by just one product, these results DO NOT guarantee the harmlessness of a file. Currently, there is not any solution that offers a 100% effectiveness rate for detecting viruses and malware.

[tetonbob]

I'd like a closer look at that file, please.

• Close the site and continue with the steps below.

Please perform this online scan to help look for remnants.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Establish an internet connection & perform an online scan with Firefox or Internet Explorer at Kaspersky Online Scanner

**Note**

To optimize scanning time and produce a more sensible report for review:

• Close any open programs
• Turn off the real time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan.

Click Accept, when prompted to download and install the program files and database of malware definitions.

• Click Run at the Security prompt.
• The program will then begin downloading and installing and will also update the database.
• Please be patient as this can take several minutes.
• Once the update is complete, click on Settings. Uncheck Mail databases.
• Next, click on My Computer under the green Scan bar to the left to start the scan.
• Once the scan is complete, it will display if your system has been infected. It does not provide an option to clean/disinfect. We only require a report from it.
• Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
• Click View scan report at the bottom.
• Click the Save Report As... button.
• Click the Save as Text button to save the file to your desktop so that you may post it in your next reply.

I ran the bleepingcomputer.com and sent the file and than I ran the Kaspersky scan. I tried several browsers and they seem to be working properly. Heres is the scan results:

Well done!

Your logs appear clean.You should be good to go. We still have a few items to address.

Go to -> Run -> copy/paste in the following single line command & click OK

combofix /u

This will uninstall ComboFix. It will also implement some cleanup procedures and reset System Restore points.

Now that your system is clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you follow these steps and look into the following free programs:

• Microsoft Windows Update - http://www.windowsupdate.com
  Visit regularly. This will ensure your computer always has the latest security updates. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
  
  
• SpywareBlaster to help prevent spyware from installing in the first place.
  • Install & update SpywareBlaster with the latest definitions.
    After you have updated, click the button - enable protection for all unprotected items
• McAfee Site Advisor--free version. The folks there check out websites and based on their findings, rate it as Safe, Unknown, Caution, or Bad.
  
• Winpatrol
  
  Winpatrol is heuristic protection program, meaning it looks for patterns in codes that work like malware. It also takes a snapshot of your system's critical resources and alerts you to any changes that may occur without you knowing. You can read more about Winpatrol's features here.
  
  You can get a free copy of Winpatrol or use the Plus version for more features.
  
  You can read Winpatrol's FAQ if you run into problems.
  
  
• MVPS HOST FILE
  The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one that will restrict known ad sites form serving you unsolicited advertisements. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is the IP of your local computer.
  • Download Host.zip to your desktop.
  • From your Desktop right-click (hosts.zip) and select:
    Extract All from the menu.
    
  • Click Next, click Next, select the option:
    "Show Extracted files", click Finish
    
  • This will open the newly created hosts folder on your Desktop.
    
  • Double-click on the included mvps.bat file, this will rename the existing HOSTS file to HOSTS.MVP, then it will copy the included updated HOSTS file to the correct location on your machine.
    
  • Once updated you should see another prompt that the task was completed.
• ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE
  It is very important that you have anti-virus software running on your machine. This alone can save you a lot of trouble with malware in the future. It is imperative that you update your antivirus software at least once a week (even more if you wish). If you do not update your antivirus software then it will not be able to catch new malware that may have come out.
  
  Do not install more than one AntiVirus program because they will conflict with each other.
  
  
• Scan here http://secunia.com/software_inspector/ for out of date & vulnerable common applications on your computer
