qv06 browser hijack (?)

[Stripey Sam]

Firefox 12 and IE 8 both hijacked to Qv06.com.
IE running OK, Firefox slow at times.
Have run Spybot S&D 2, and latest of both Malwarebytes Anti-malware and CCleaner.

Got hijacker by inadvisedly trying to install a version of Opera Mini for PC "BKP-OperaMini-PC", it seems to have been doctored.

Hi Stripey Sam,

I apologize for the delay. If you still need help, please run the below scans.

=========================

My name is OCD. I would be more than happy to take a look at your log and help you with solving any malware problems you might have. Logs can take a while to research, so please be patient and know that I am working hard to get you a clean and functional system back in your hands. I'd be grateful if you would note the following:


I will be working on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for the issues on this machine.
Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
Copy and Paste logs directly into the reply window. DO NOT attach the logs unless specifically instructed to do so.
IMPORTANT NOTE : Please do not delete, download or install anything unless instructed to do so.

DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix or HijackThis fixes without supervision. Doing so could make your system inoperable and could require a full reinstall of your Operating System and losing all your programs and data.

Important Note for Vista and Windows 7 & 8 users:

These tools MUST be run from the executable.(.exe) every time you run them with Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator")

Please stay with this topic until I let you know that your system appears to be "All Clear"

=========================

1. Security Check

Download Security Check by screen317 from here (http://screen317.spywareinfoforum.org/SecurityCheck.exe) or here (http://screen317.changelog.fr/SecurityCheck.exe).
Save it to your Desktop.
Right click SecurityCheck.exe, select "Run as Administrator" and follow the onscreen instructions inside of the black box. A Notepad document should open automatically called checkup.txt; please post the contents of that document.

=========================

2. aswMBR

Download aswMBR.exe (http://public.avast.com/~gmerek/aswMBR.exe) and save it to your desktop.

Right click and select "Run as Administrator".

When asked if you want to download Avast's virus definitions please select Yes.
Click Scan
Upon completion of the scan, click Save log and save it to your desktop, and post that log in your next reply for review. Note - do NOT attempt any Fix yet.
You will also notice another file created on the desktop named MBR.dat. Right click that file and select Send To>Compressed (zipped) file. Attach that zipped file in your next reply as well.

=========================

3. OTL


Download OTL (http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTL.exe) to your desktop.
Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.


Windows XP : Double click on the icon to run it.
Windows Vista, Windows 7 & 8 : Right click and select "Run as Administrator"


When the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output.
Check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check.
Under Custom Scan paste this in

netsvcs
%SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
/md5start
explorer.exe
winlogon.exe
Userinit.exe
svchost.exe
services.exe
/md5stop
%systemroot%\*. /rp /s
%systemdrive%\$Recycle.Bin|@;true;true;true
%USERPROFILE%\..|smtmp;true;true;true /FP
%temp%\smtmp\*.* /s >
BASESERVICES
DRIVES
CREATERESTOREPOINT


Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.

When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post it with your next reply.
You may need two posts to fit them both in.

=========================

In your next post please provide the following:


checkup.txt
aswMBR.txt
attach MBR.zip
OTL.txt
Extras.txt
What symptoms are you experiencing?

[OCD]

Hi Stripey Sam,

Just checking in to see if you still need help?

[OCD]

This thread has been closed due to inactivity. If it has been three days or more since your last post it will not be re-opened.

If you still require help, please start a new topic and include fresh DDS and aswMBR logs, along with a link to your previous thread.

Please do not add any logs that might have been requested previously, you would be starting fresh.

Applies only to the original poster, anyone else with similar problems please start your own topic.
