So today I'm pretty sure I was hijacked. Everytime I click on a link from a search engine like google or yahoo, I'm redirected to some random sites. Not a single link will work from ANY search engine. So I started doing some searching on how to get this fixed and all the forums seem to start out with some common programs, ie. HijackThis, Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, Spybot S&D. However none of those will work to help me get started on clearing this infection. With HJT when I start up the .exe and do the scan, the program terminates as soon as the scan is finished. It will not let me save a log, and I can no longer start the program back up. ON TOP OF THAT, I cannot delete that .exe. It's very frustrating. I have even burned a CD with HijackThis on it (and no, I don't have any flash drives to try that) to see if I can run it from there, but to no avail. Same things apply to MBAM and Spybot S&D. As soon as the programs run and do their thing, they terminate automatically and the programs are no longer runnable. So unfortunately I cannot supply any of the computers information to the forum. Your time and help will be VERY much appreciated.
Hi there,
Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here (http://www.techsupportforum.com/sectools/sUBs/dds) or here (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/dds.scr) or here (http://www.forospyware.com/sUBs/dds).
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
DDS.txt
Attach.txt
Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.
Download GMER (http://www.gmer.net) here by clicking download exe -button and then saving it your desktop:
Double-click .exe that you downloaded
Click rootkit-tab and then scan.
Don't check

box while scanning in progress!
