Hello,
I am having a problem similar to many other posts I have read, however following the help in those posts has not resolved my concern. I am having the apparent hijack problem where links produced by a Google search will intermittently redirect to me to some sort of advertising page instead of where the link is supposed to take me. The pages are usually somewhat affiliated with my search, ie. say I search for mortgage brokers and the first link is GMAC Mortgage, I click it, instead I am taken to some advertisement page for cut rate brokers. This happens for any type of search, but is at random and intermittent. In the lower browser address bar, it always says "Opening page http:/85.255.119.186/click.php" followed by random numbers and letters, just before opening the page it redirects me to. I am running windows XP SP2, IE6. McAfee antivirus, Zone Alarm, and Spywareblaster are always active. I have run Spybot and it found no problems. Ad-Aware runs part way and then stops and hangs with no error message. AVG Anti-Spyware runs part way then crashes with a message saying there was a problem with the program and it had to stop. I tried removing and reinstalling both applications with the same results. All scans were run in both regular boot-up and safe mode, with same results. I ran the on-line scanner from Kaspersky, and it stopped about 1/4 of the way through with the message Internet Exlorer has encountered a problem and has to close.

I ran Panda on-line scan and it only found the following:

Incident Status Location

Spyware:Cookie/Cd Freaks Not disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\Jason T. Kindlimann\Cookies\jason t. kindlimann@cdfreaks[2].txt

Spyware:Cookie/Server.iad.Liveperson Not disinfected C:\Documents and Settings\Jason T. Kindlimann\Cookies\jason t. kindlimann@server.iad.liveperson[1].txt





I ran Combofix and HJT, but did not see anything unusual, but then I am not a pro, either. Here are the reports...

Combofix:

Hi roc383 and welcome to the Forums :)

You're using an outdated version of HijackThis (v1.98.0), the latest version is 1.99.1. Please remove the old version.

Download HijackThis to your desktop from here (http://downloads.malwareremoval.com/HijackThis.exe)

Create a new folder for HijackThis and move HijackThis.exe into it.

Post a fesh HijackThis log to here :bigthumb:

Mr_JAk3,

Thank you for your response. First, I want to update you and let you know that since my original post I read some more forums regarding this similar concern and caught on to the trend of running comboxif, fixwareout, and ATF cleaner. While waiting for a response I ran all three utilities as recommended in other posts. This was just over 24 hours ago, and since I have not had a problem with Google searches. Additionally, I have been able to successfully complete an Ad-aware scan without it crashing, as it was prior to the cleaning. I do not know if that is coincidence or if the two were related. I can not say for sure that the problem is fixed, so I would still appreciate you taking a look at the requested new HJT log, posted below. I hope my attempts at correcting this did not complicate matters any. Here is the log:

Also, do you have any info on the severity of this virus related to http:/85.255.119.186? I have seen, in other forums, that there were concerns with not only re-directs, but with it sending password and other personal information back to the source. Is this true? I am wondering if I need to change all of my passwords and other security info at any web page I visit from this PC? Thank you for your time.

Hi again :)

We'll changing the passwords would be a good idea because I can't say what infections you had there. You can't be too careful ;)

HijackThis log looks good but I recommend we run a one more scanner:

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky WebScanner (http://www.kaspersky.com/virusscanner)

Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
The program will launch and then begin downloading the latest definition files:
Once the files have been downloaded click on NEXT

Now click on Scan Settings
In the scan settings make that the following are selected:
Scan using the following Anti-Virus database:
Extended (if available otherwise Standard)

Scan Options:
Scan Archives
Scan Mail Bases

Click OK
Now under select a target to scan:Select My Computer

This will program will start and scan your system.
The scan will take a while so be patient and let it run.
Once the scan is complete it will display if your system has been infected.
Now click on the Save as Text button:
Save the file to your desktop.
Copy and paste that information in your next post.

Hi again, it is looking clean now :)

Now that you seem to be clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:
Clear your system restore (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/helpandsupport/learnmore/tips/mcgill1.mspx)
This will clear the system restore folders from possible malware that was left behind during the cleaning process.

Use ATF Cleaner (http://www.atribune.org/ccount/click.php?id=1)
Download and install ATF Cleaner. Clean your temporary files & folders with it regularly.

Use Ad-Aware (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/?showtutorial=48)
Download and install Ad-Aware. Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.

Use AVG Anti-Spyware (http://www.ewido.net/en/)
Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.

Use Spybot S&D (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/?showtutorial=43)
Download and install Spybot S&D. Update it and scan your computer regularly with it.

Install SpywareBlaster (http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html)
SpywareBlaster will prevent spyware from being installed.

Install MVPS Hosts file (http://mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm)
This prevents your computer from connecting to harmful sites.

Use Firefox browser (http://www.mozilla.org)
Firefox is faster, safer and better browser than Internet Explorer.

Keep your systen up-to-date (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com)
Visit Windows Update regularly.

Keep your antivirus and firewall up-to-date
Scan your computer regularly with your antivirus.

Read this article by TonyKlein (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=279)
So how did I get infected in the first place?

Stand Up and Be Counted ! (http://www.malwarecomplaints.info/index.php)
The site offers people who have been (or are) victims of malware the opportunity to document their story and, in that way, launch a complaint against the malware and the makers of the malware.


Stay clean and be safe ;)
