View Full Version : Yet Another Browser Hijack



Blasius
2010-06-11, 05:20
I am experiencing the browser hijack problem others are posting about here; quoting one of them:

<quote>------------------------------------------------------------------
"The symptom is that my browser(IE 8 & Firefox) keeps getting hijacked, especially when i click on a google search result. When i click on a google search result i get redirected to some random ad websites. And sometimes a new tab(in firefox) or a new window (in IE8) just opens up n it's own (haven't observed any trigger)."
</quote>-----------------------------------------------------------------

This problem started for me after an AntiSpyware Soft infection, which I cleaned up using mbam. I've also run sbsd, spyware doctor, done a system restore, and removed the c:\windows\system32\wbdaum.drv file (didn't work - it reappeared).

I would be very grateful if you can help. Posting below the DDS log, attaching the second part of it. Also posting the HijackThis uninstall_list.txt that I saw was requested.

Following the instructions in post #12 by vict0r in the thread "keep getting redirected", thread ID 576448 seems to have solved my problem. TDSSKiller produced the following message:

...

So it looks like I had the same problem as arsenal6, the original poster in that thread, and the same fix worked. I also followed the remaining instructions in that thread (such as running the Eset online scanner), not finding any problems.

The browsers are not redirecting me to random webpages anymore.
