Heya fellas, I'm TOTALLY stuck!

Got sent an email on facebook from a tutor from my music school saying that he found a video with me in it. I followed the link (didnt really think twice about it) ended up on a page that looked like a video sharing youtube style site. popped up saying "need to install java applet" clicked ok. and before I could think "wait, NO NO NO!!!!" setup.exe was downloaded and run and now I have the google redirection virus.

Downloaded and tried to run Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware, but that needs to connect to the malwarebytes site to update and the virus is blocking certain sites (malwarebytes, safer-networking, bleepingcomputer and various other helpful sites!!!)

Need some help PLEASE! I'm not a noob with computers, I just had a noob moment. I have HijackThis logs and ComboFix logs if needed.

Thanks,
Spao.

Hello spao.fun,


I have HijackThis logs and ComboFix logs if needed.


Please see this forum's FAQ and start a new topic. "BEFORE you POST"(READ this Procedure BEFORE Requesting Assistance) (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288)

Note in new topic that you have run CF so helpers are aware. Do NOT run 'FIXES' (ComboFix etc) without being asked (http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=16806) Then a volunteer analyst will advise you when available.

Best regards. :)

Hi spao.fun,

Actually, no need to start a new topic as you are being helped here (http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=1466685)

From our sticky,

Posters who start topics at multiple sites for their PC problem waste valuable volunteer resources, so please don't. Our analysts assist people at several forums. A member's user name may be different, the problem will not be. A worse scenario would be to run fixes given at one site unbeknown to the person helping the same user elsewhere.Best regards.
