I started seeing problems with Google search results. When I clicked on a search result it would open some random page, not what I was trying to open, and usually through something called abcsearch.com.

I've searched around and it sounds like I have a hijacker of some sort. I've run SpyBot S&D, AVG Anti-Spyware, CCleaner, AboutBuster, and fixwareout. No luck so far.

I followed the instructions in the sticky post and have run Kasperksy online virus scan and Hijack this. The lags are pasted below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Hello wapawapa and welcome to the Forums :)

One or more of the identified infections is a backdoor trojan :sick:

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and Download and Execute files

I would counsel you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. 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.

Though the infection has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud? (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10451)
When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10063)

I can help you in the cleaning if you don't want to reformat but there is a possibility that we can't get you 100% clean.

Please let us know what you have decided to do in your next post:bigthumb

Ouch. Much worse that I thought. Thanks for the quick reply though. It's been disconnected from the net. I'll backup anything I want to keep on a CD and reformat/reinstall the OS.

I'm assuming that if I run the Kaspersky scan on any files I backup that it'll find any problems?


Thanks,
Wapa

Hi :)

I'll respect your decision to do a clean install.

pictures, text, music should be safe to backup. Watch out for any program files as those may be infected.

Please make sure that you know what to do before beginning the operation.

Here are a few links that propably help.

Reformatting Windows XP by wng_z3r0 (http://spyware-free.us/tutorials/reformat/mainnopics.html)
When should I re-format? How should I reinstall? (http://www.dslreports.com/faq/10063)
Windows XP Clean install (http://windowsxp.mvps.org/XPClean.htm)

Then there are a couple of things you should do immediately after installing Windows and before surfing the net... Install an antivirus and firewall (you should download and have those on a CD or USB drive, all ready to be installed).

These are good (free) firewalls:
- Kerio (http://www.sunbelt-software.com/Kerio.cfm)
- Sygate (http://http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3356)
- Outpost (http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=1056)

These are good (free) antiviruses:
- Antivir (http://www.free-av.com)
- Avast (http://www.avast.com)
- AVG (http://free.grisoft.com)

Get all Windows updates installed!
Please ask me if you have any questions :)

Then here are a few things that you can do in order to make your fresh computer more secure:
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 Ewido (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.

So how did I get infected in the first place?
