Search engine redirecting to random pages

[panchogianza]

Hi, Thanks for the help in advance!

When I am on on the search engines, most casually on google, by clicking on one of the results, I get redirected to a random site that has nothing to do with the link I wanted. Usually the redirected sites are advertisements of some kind. Also, this past days I haven't been able to update my antivirus, Avira. Im not sure why (neither if its relevant) it just stays on "scan for uptades."

I run Windows xp. I am not in possession of any boot cd.

I have tried to find any malware, scanning with Avira, and using panda scan online, but have not found anything.

Here is the DDS report,

I need to see a gmer log in order to help you.

Download GMER Rootkit Scanner from here and Save it to your Desktop.

• Double-click gmer.exe to run it. If asked to allow gmer.sys driver to load, please consent.
• If it gives you a warning about rootkit activity and asks if you want to run scan...click on NO.
  
  
  
  Click the image to enlarge it
  
  
  
• In the right panel, you will see several boxes that have been checked. Uncheck the following ...
  • Sections
  • IAT/EAT
  • Drives/Partition other than Systemdrive (typically C:\)
  • Show All (don't miss this one)
• Then click the Scan button & wait for it to finish.
• Once done click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "Gmer.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, and attach it to your next reply.

**Caution**
Rootkit scans often produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries

Hello again, panchogianza. Please tell us how your system is behaving.

Please copy this page to Notepad and Save it to your Desktop in order to assist you when carrying out the following instructions.

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.

It is IMPORTANT that you don't miss a step & perform everything in the correct order/sequence.

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

Go Start > Run and copy/paste the following single-line command into the Run box and click OK:

sc delete qwlcyljo

A DOS window will open and close again, this is normal.

Repeat for each of these commands:

sc delete ASKService

sc delete ASKUpgrade

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

Your Java is out of date.

Java(TM) 6 Update 12 can be updated from the Java Control Panel. Go Start > Control Panel(Classic View) > Java (looks like a coffee cup) > Update Tab > Update Now. An update should begin; follow the prompts.

Make sure you untick the box next to whatever free program they prompt you to install, unless you want it.

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

Please download ATF-Cleaner by Atribune and Save it to your Desktop.

• Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
• Under Main choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.

If you use Firefox browser

• Click Firefox at the top and choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.
• NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

If you use Opera browser

• Click Opera at the top and choose: Select All
• Click the Empty Selected button.
• NOTE: If you would like to keep your saved passwords, please click No at the prompt.

Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.
For Technical Support, double-click the e-mail address located at the bottom of each menu.

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

Please run this online scan to help look for remnants. Ensure your external and/or USB drives are inserted during the scan.

Establish an internet connection & perform an online scan at Kaspersky Online Scanner

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

• Click Run at any 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 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.

**Note**

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

• Close any open programs.
• Turn off the real-time scanner of all antivirus or antispyware programs while performing the online scan.

Note for Internet Explorer 7 users: If at any time you have trouble viewing the accept button of the license, click on the Zoom tool located at the bottom right of the IE window and set the zoom to 75%. Once the license is accepted, reset to 100%.

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

Please post the following in your next reply:

Kaspersky report
report on system behavior

[panchogianza]

Hello Chemist.

I followed your instructions.
Had no problem on deleting the files, and I runned successfully ATF-Cleaner.

However, when I tried to uptade Java, by clicking on the icon in the control panel, a window appeared saying that the registry key did not longer existed. Therefore, I downloaded from the Java official webpage Java Runtime Environment Version 6 Update 17. Now the icon works fine.

Also, the Kapersky online scanner is not currently available since they are uptading it. As soon as it is available, I will run it and send you the report.

As of now, I have tried several search, mainly in google, and had still been redirected to random pages instead of the one i clicked on. Avira was successfully uptaded.

Will post again as soon as possible with the report of Kapersky and another report of my system.

Thanks a lot for your help, its really appreciated!

[chemist]

Hello again, panchogianza. I just tried Kaspersky and it worked. If it still won't work, try this one:

Please run this online scan to help look for remnants. Ensure your external and/or USB drives are inserted during the scan.

Go here to run an online scannner from ESET and Save the file to your Desktop.

• If you are not using Internet Explorer, double-click esetsmartinstaller_enu.exe to install it, then click 'Run'.
• Turn off the real-time scanner of any existing antivirus program while performing the online scan.
• Tick the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
• Click Start
• When asked, allow the ActiveX control to install.
• Click Start
• Make sure that the option Remove found threats is unticked and the Scan Archives option is ticked.
• Click on Advanced Settings and ensure these options are ticked:
  • Scan for potentially unwanted applications
  • Scan for potentially unsafe applications
  • Enable Anti-Stealth Technology
• Next to 'Current scan targets: Operating memory, Local drives, click the Change.. button.
• Tick all the boxes that correspond to your external/inserted drives.
• Click Scan
• Wait for the scan to finish.
• Use Notepad to open the logfile located at C:\Program Files\Eset\Eset Online Scanner\log.txt
• Do NOT be alarmed by what you see in the report. Many of the finds have likely been quarantined.
• Copy/paste that log as a reply to this topic and also let me know how things are now.

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

If you have trouble with your computer blocking the ActiveX, go here and temporarily turn the feature off:

http://www.windowsreference.com/inte...the-publisher/

Remember to turn it back on after the scan!

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

[panchogianza]

Hello Chemist. Sorry for the waiting.

I have followed your instructions.

When I opened the fix.bat file, Avira has prompted a window saying it has detected an unwanted infection and asking me what action to take, i click on put on quarantine, then ok. After that the window from the file fix.bat showed deletion successful.

Then, I have installed Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, and successfully performed a quick scan. The report is posted here.

I have tried several searchings and so far have not been redirected. Good news! Thanks a lot! One more question, do you have any advise on how to prevent an infection like this one from happening again?

Thanks again for your help!

Hello again, panchogianza. I will give you some links for prevention when we are done.

Files Infected:
C:\Programmi\File comuni\Dhcp\DhcpQuarantine.dll (Trojan.FakeAlert.H) -> Delete on reboot.

Have you rebooted yet? If not, please do so. If you are not experiencing any more problems, let me know and I will give you some final instructions.

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

[panchogianza]

Hello Chemist.

Yes I have rebooted the system. When the scan was completed, I clicked on show results, and removed the selected files. Then it said that in order to delete one of the files it was needed to reboot the system, so it did.

So far, no more problems are being experienced. The system seems to be working fine.

Thanks again!

[chemist]

Congratulations. Well done! Your logs appear clean. You should be good to go.

Please disable Avira before uninstalling ComboFix and then re-enable it after doing so.

Go to Start >> Run and Copy/Paste the following single-line command into the Run box and click OK:

combofix /uninstall

This will uninstall ComboFix and delete ComboFix's quarantine folder. It will also implement some cleanup procedures, remove old System Restore Points which contain previous infections, and create a fresh, clean System Restore Point.

Please re-enable your antivirus program and any other antispyware programs disabled earlier if you haven't already.

You can safely delete any tools downloaded or any logs, files, and any shortcuts on your desktop that were created during this fix.

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

MICROSOFT UPDATES
It is very important that you get all of the critical updates for your Operating System and Internet Explorer. Keeping your OS and browser up to date will help make you less susceptible to attacks by Trojans and viruses. Please go to Microsoft and download all the critical updates to help prevent possible re-infection.

SPYWARE PREVENTION
This is a good time to set up protection against further attacks. In light of your recent problem, I'm sure you'd like to avoid any future infections. Please read these well written articles:

• How Did I Get Infected In The First Place? by TonyKlein
• How to Prevent Malware by miekiemoes

To help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs if you do not already have them:

• WOT, Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites:
  • Green to go
  • Yellow for caution
  • Red to stop
  WOT has an add-on available for both Firefox and IE.
  
• SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of ActiveX-based malware, blocks cookies, and restricts the actions of "bad" sites. See tutorial here
  
• MVPS HOSTS FILE replaces your current HOSTS file with one that will restrict known ad sites from serving you unsolicited advertisements. It basically prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting the attempted connections to 127.0.0.1, which is the IP of your local computer. See guide here and for Windows Vista here
  • Download Host.zip and Save it to your Desktop.
  • Right-click hosts.zip and select 'Extract all files' or 'Extract files...'.
