View Full Version : Google results hijacked, Can't run Spy-Bot
My daughters computer has been taken over by some malware that has twarted most of my usual techniques to clean it. The first thing noted as in the title is that the google results are hijacked to various sale sites. Spy bot home, ad aware home and Kaspersky.com are all blocked. Ad-aware would not update. I was able to download a newed copy from download.com which ran and found some malware and removed it but no change. It also could not update its files. I think the file definitions were 5/15. I could download Spy-Bot from download.com but could not get it to install, even in safe mode.
I couldn't run the online kaspersky virus checker as the web browser would not go there. I downloaded firefox which installed but will not run.
The Hijack log is below.
Any suggestions or help will be appreciated.
Thank you,
Stuart

Now the computer seems to be working normally. Spybot loads again and google does not seem to be hijacked anymore. Not sure what was fixed, but it seems to be good now.

Hi
I think you missed both BEFORE you POST (READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288) (didn't run Kaspersky online scanner) and Do NOT run 'fixes' before helpers have analyzed HJT/KAV scans (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=16806) (ran ComboFix though it shouldn't be used without supervision) sticky. ;)
Open notepad and copy/paste the text in the quotebox below into it:

http://users.pandora.be/bluepatchy/miekiemoes/images/CFScript.gif
Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe
Then post the resultant log.
Combofix should never take more that 20 minutes including the reboot if malware is detected.
If it does, open Task Manager then Processes tab (press ctrl, alt and del at the same time) and end any processes of findstr, find, sed or swreg, then combofix should continue.
If that happened we want to know, and also what process you had to end.

Run Kaspersky online scanner (instructions in Before You Post (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288) -sticky) and post back its report & a fresh hjt log (without forgetting above meantioned ComboFix resultant log).
Thank you for responding.
Initially I could not get to the Kaspersky website. It as well as other sites including this one were blocked.
After getting control of my computer back with combo fix I was able to load and update spybot and ad-aware. I ran both of those several times as well as Symantec antivirus until I got clean results on all of them.
Here are the logs that you requested.

UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER
IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site (http://windowsupdate.microsoft.com/) to get the critical updates.
If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.
Make your Internet Explorer more secure
This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.

The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.
Comodo BOCLEAN (http://www.comodo.com/boclean/boclean.html) <= Stop identity thieves from getting personal information. Instantly detects well over 1,000,000 unique, variant and repack malware in total. And it's free.
Download SpywareBlaster
Spyware blaster is a program that stops known malicious activex controls from installing on your computer. It works by changing settings in your registry. It makes
kill bits
in the registry, so that certain activex controls can't install.
If you don't know what activex controls are, see here (http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/A/ActiveX_control.html)
You can download SpywareBlaster here here (http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget.php?id=2859&file=11&evp=61b0e8ad41924a03c37615f4682b4cef)
SpywareBlaster tutorial (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial49.html)
Download iespyad
It puts many bad webpages on your restricted zones list. This means that you can still view the
bad
webpages, but the webpages cannot do certain things (such as use javascripts and cookies).
If you need help understanding how it works, there is a tutorial here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial53.html)
Download it here (http://www.spywarewarrior.com/uiuc/res/ie-spyad.exe)
hosts file:
Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them. In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages. We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages. However, it can slow down certain computers. This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
Download it here (http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm). Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial51.html)
If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen) Click run In the dialog box, type services.msc hit enter, then locate dns client Highlight it, then double-click it. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual. Click ok
Use a Firewall - I can not stress how important it is that you use a Firewall on your computer. Without a firewall your computer is susceptible to being hacked and taken over. Simply using a Firewall in its default configuration can lower your risk greatly. For more info, check this (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial60.html) webpage out.
See here (http://www.freebyte.com/antivirus/#firewalls) to choose one
Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Run the spybot and adaware regularly. (Once or twice a week minimum.)
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.
Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.
Have a great day,
Blade :cool:
Thank you I greatly appreciate your help. I have followed the rest of your advice.
Can you tell me what I had in the first place? Does it have a name? I would like to look it up (and then hang the code writer)
Stuart
Hi
There was all kind of malware, Purityscan for example.
Since this issue appears to be resolved ... this Topic has been closed. Glad I could help. :)
Note:If it has been five days or more since your last post, and the helper assisting you posted a response to that post to which you did not reply, your topic will not be reopened. At that point, if you still require help, please start a new topic and include a fresh HijackThis log and a link to your previous thread.
If it has been less than five days since your last response and you need the thread re-opened, please send me or your helper a private message (pm). A valid, working link to the closed topic is required.
