MarketResearch <--Is this a program that you installed and use ?
No, it isn't.

Tell me exactly what sites your being redirected to.
I'm not certain it's being redirecte. I will clarify. When you click on the tab bar to make a new tab (or ctl-T) it goes to:
http://tab.fastbrowsersearch.com/?v=19&tid={DF804678-0790-4d34-A07A-9FE3C4DEE83B}
It used to go to a page that showed recently visited websites, allowed starting inprivate sessions, and showed recently closed tabs. if possible, i would like that back. in internet options, in the settings for tabs, "open the new tab page" is chosen for "when a new tab is opened, open". fastbrowsersearch was also the browser search. I used to not be able to change it, but something you've done has allowed me to change and remove it from the list of choices. I was also not able to add more search providers, but now can.

I'm not finding Market Research in Programs & Features.

I get this from OTM when I paste that file path into it and click MoveIt!

Error: Unable to interpret <C:\Program Files\MarketResearch > in the current context!

My bad,

Do like this , just ignore the download part

Please download OTM by OldTimer.
  • Save it to your desktop.
  • Please click OTM and then click >> run.
  • Copy the lines inside the codebox below to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose Copy):

Code:
:Processes
explorer.exe

:Services

:Reg


:Files
C:\Program Files\MarketResearch


:Commands
[purity]
[emptytemp]
[start explorer]
[Reboot]
  • Return to OTM, right click in the "Paste Instructions for items to be Moved" window (under the yellow bar) and choose Paste.
  • Click the red Moveit! button.
  • Copy everything in the Results window (under the green bar) to the clipboard by highlighting ALL of them and pressing CTRL + C (or, after highlighting, right-click and choose copy), and paste it in your next reply.
  • Close OTM
Note: If an item cannot be moved immediately you may be asked to reboot the machine to finish the move process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes. In this case, after the reboot, open Notepad (Start->All Programs->Accessories->Notepad), click File->Open, in the File Name box enter *.log and press the Enter key, navigate to the C:\_OTM\MovedFiles folder, and open the newest .log file present, and copy/paste the contents of that document back here in your next post.

Drag Combofix to the trash and download a fresh copy and run it please.


Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1
Link 2


* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop


  • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
  • See this Link for programs that need to be disabled and instruction on how to disable them.
  • Remember to re-enable them when we're done.

  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.

  • As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.

  • Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.


RC1.png


Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:
RC2-1.png

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply along with a New Hijackthis log.

*If there is no internet connection when Combofix has completely finished then restart your computer to restore back the connections.
 
Good Morning,

If you ran Combofix already thats fine, it wont hurt anything but be sure to post the log please.

Open up Internet Explorer and and up on the right top click on the the tab that opens the search and select MANAGE SEARCH PROVIDERS and remove Fast Web Search and any others you don't want.


Let me know if this helps

regarding fast web search

i removed the search provider fast web search and restarted. when i click to create a new tab (or use ctrl-t) it still goes to http://tab.fastbrowsersearch.com/?v=19&tid={DF804678-0790-4d34-A07A-9FE3C4DEE83B}
FYI, if i right click a link and choose open in new tab, it works correctly. the only time i'm seeing an issue is when i click the small tab in the browser tabs to make a new tab or i use ctrl-t to open a new tab.

I searched and found these instructions for setting the "new tab page" back to default. Would you be able to verify if this is correct/safe? I checked my registry and it does have fastbrowser junk at the registry location called out.



Kundan555 has posted an answer to the question “How do I remove “Fast Browser Search”?”:
PLEASE FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE FOR IE8 AND IE7.
=================================================================
Please uninstall fast browser from the program and features in vista and, add and remove program in XP. Then
To fix the new tab issue you need to be comfortable using regedit. Run regedit and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\AboutURLs
under Tabs, clear the fastwebsearch junk and input the following as value data:
res://ieframe.dll/tabswelcome.htm or any entry related with fastbrowser listed over there.
close and restart IE.
 
Try this first.

Open IE and go to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab and click on Reset Internet Explorer Setting ....Reset...it will take a few seconds, close IE and then reopen it and see if it helped.

Before you try that fix you posted, back up your registry with Erunt, this way if there is a problem you can restore it. Just try removing anything related to Fast Browser Search.
Make sure this is present, if not add it
res://ieframe.dll/tabswelcome.htm

Backup Your Registry with ERUNT:
  • Download erunt.zip to your Desktop from here:
    http://aumha.org/downloads/erunt.zip
  • Right-click erunt.zip, select Extract All... and follow the prompts to extract ERUNT to a new folder on your Desktop
  • Inside the new folder, double-click ERUNT.exe to start the program
  • OK all the prompts to back up your registry to the default location.
Note: to restore your registry, go to the backup folder and start ERDNT.exe


By the way, you got this Fast Browser Search from downloading My Tattoo on Facebook
 
fast browser search tab

Resetting IE settings didn't do it. Backed up registry with erunt. Replaced the fastbrowsersearch info with res://ieframe.dll/tabswelcome.htm in registry. Restarted and it goes to the windows "what do you want to do next" page!!

Yes, I remember earlier seeing some references to My Tatoo in one of the fixes.
 
Browse to the page you want to use as your homepage and then go to Tools> Internet Options and Use Current...ok your way out
 
Great,

Now to remove most of the tools that we have used in fixing your machine:
  • Make sure you have an Internet Connection.
  • Download OTC to your desktop and run it
  • A list of tool components used in the cleanup of malware will be downloaded.
  • If your Firewall or Real Time protection attempts to block OTC to reach the Internet, please allow the application to do so.
  • Click Yes to begin the cleanup process and remove these components, including this application.
  • You will be asked to reboot the machine to finish the cleanup process. If you are asked to reboot the machine choose Yes.







Keep in mind if you install some of these programs. Only ONE Anti Virus and only ONE Firewall is recommended, more is overkill and can cause you problems. You can install all the Spyware programs I have listed without any problems. If you install Spyware Blaster and Spyware Guard, they will conflict with the TeaTimer in Spybot , you can still install Spybot Search and Destroy but do not enable the TeaTimer .


Here are some free programs to install, all free and highly regarded by the fine people in the Malware Removal Community
  • Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6
    Check for Updates/ Immunize and run a Full System Scan on a regular basis. If you install Spyware Blaster ( Recommended ) then do not enable the TeaTimer in Spybot Search and Destroy.
  • Spyware Blaster It will prevent most spyware from ever being installed. No scan to run, just update about once a week and enable all protection.
  • Spyware Guard It offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts, again, no scan to run, just install it and let it do its thing.
  • IE-Spyad
    IE-Spyad places over 6000 web sites and domains in the IE Restricted list which will severely impair attempts to infect your system. It basically prevents any downloads (cookies etc) from the sites listed, although you will still be able to connect to the sites.
  • Firefox 3 It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.


Safe Surfn
Ken
