Help removing Look2me / Zlob.DNSchanger

[KJCSMP]

I've been getting redirected to varies sites while using the internet and an AVG scan suggested I had the Look2me virus and Spybot found Zlob.DNSchanger.

I've tried removing both using anti-spy/malware and anitvirus programs but had no luck.

Formatting didn't either.

Anyway, here's my HJT log. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi

Do you connect to internet through a router? If you do please reset it to factory defaults and then change password to something stronger than the default one.

[KJCSMP]

Yeah I do use a router.

I've reset it to factory settings and changed the password.

[Blade81]

Good. Do you still get redirected after restoring factory defaults?

[KJCSMP]

No I don't.

Thanks

[Blade81]

Great :)

In that case it's time to make your system more secure.

recommended Firefox addons:
Adblock Plus (http://adblockplus.org/en/installation) and NoScript (https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/722)


Good free antivirus programs are:
Antivir (http://free-av.com/en/download/1/download_avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html)
Avast! (http://www.avast.com/eng/download-avast-home.html) and
AVG Free Antivirus (http://free.grisoft.com/ww.download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition)

For firewall I recommend either Online Armor Free (http://www.tallemu.com/free-firewall-protection-software.html) or Comodo Firewall Pro (http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/download_firewall.html#fw3.0) (If you choose Comodo: Uncheck during installation "Install Comodo SafeSurf..", Make Comodo my default search provider" and "Make Comodo Search my homepage" and install firewall ONLY!).

Also, it's recommeded that you get Internet Explorer 7 no matter if you use it or not alongside all available security updates for Windows.

[KJCSMP]

I've installed the Firefox addons you recommended. I've also reinstalled McAfee. And IE7.

I'm going to look into those firewall apps you suggested too.

Thanks for the help.
