Another victim of Google re-direct [Archive]

2009-11-26, 04:54

My laptop has become infected with what appears to be malware that has affected many other users on this site. This malware re-directs my Google searches to sites such as shopica.com and searchclick.com, but when I run a Symantec virus scan and Malwarebytes nothing is detected. Reinstalling Firefox and Internet Explorer has also not solved the problem. I know there are numerous posts about this issue but I have found that each solution is different and that I should not follow other posted fixes. Anyway, here is my HJT log.

Please Help!

Hi,

Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix tool:

http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

The Windows Recovery Console will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:

Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix, link (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html)
Remember to re-enable them afterwards.

Click Yes to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.

When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.

Please include the following reports for further review, and so we may continue cleansing the system:

C:\ComboFix.txt

A word of warning: Neither I nor sUBs are responsible for any damage you may have caused your machine by running ComboFix. This tool is not a toy and not for everyday use.

Hey, thanks for looking at my thread!

I know that you don't respond to anything in the pm but I thought that I should let you know that in lieu of finals week at my college approaching, I broke down and bought a spyware removal program (PC Tools Spyware Doctor) that has seemed to clear up my redirect problem. (I was desperate!)

However, I would still like you to look at things to make sure that nothing is amiss...I don't trust the IT people at my school since they had no clue what was wrong with my computer in the first place.

Yes, I can take a look. Just need you to provide me a few logs :)

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.
