Hi,

Delete c:\documents and settings\All Users\Application Data\97480230 folder. It's ok to reinstall AVG now

[Wildman0420]

Alright. Deleting folder and reinstalling AVG.

[Blade81]

Good. Let me know how it goes.

[Wildman0420]

Well looks pretty good! All the annoying redirects seem to have stopped. The only one I'm getting now is the dang 11charter thing that my ISP forces my DNS to go to. I've been told that openDNS is a good program to solve that problem, so if you think I'm clean and clear I'll install that. I must say thank you. You've come through again and proven your mastery over malicious software. You rock Blade!!!

[Wildman0420]

Oh I'd love to make a donation to you guys. Always working so hard to help people you've never met. You're the true heroes of the internet. You have a link for making a donation?

[Blade81]

Hi,

Oh I'd love to make a donation to you guys. Always working so hard to help people you've never met. You're the true heroes of the internet. You have a link for making a donation?

Yes, if you wish to donate you can do so here


Please find a list of the final steps in our cleaning process below.


THESE STEPS ARE VERY IMPORTANT

Let's reset system restore
Reset and Re-enable your System Restore to remove infected files that have been backed up by Windows. The files in System Restore are protected to prevent any programs changing those files. This is the only way to clean these files: You will lose all previous restore points which are likely to be infected. Please note you need Administrator Access to do clean the restore points.

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.
NOTE: only do this ONCE,NOT on a regular basis



Now lets uninstall ComboFix:

• Click START then RUN
• Now copy-paste Combofix /uninstall in the runbox and click OK

Please download OTC and save it to desktop.

• Double-click OTC.exe.
• Click the CleanUp! button.
• Select Yes when the
  Begin cleanup Process?
  prompt appears.
• If you are prompted to Reboot during the cleanup, select Yes.
• The tool will delete itself once it finishes, if not delete it by yourself.

Note: If you receive a warning from your firewall or other security programs regarding OTC attempting to contact the internet, please allow it to do so.


UPDATING WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER

IMPORTANT: You Need to Update Windows and Internet Explorer to protect your computer from the malware that is around on the Internet. Please go to the windows update site to get the critical updates.

If you are running Microsoft Office, or any portion thereof, go to the Microsoft's Office Update site and make sure you have at least all the critical updates installed (Free) Microsoft Office Update.


Make your Internet Explorer more secure

This can be done by following these simple instructions:
From within Internet Explorer click on the Tools menu and then click on Options.
Click once on the Security tab
Click once on the Internet icon so it becomes highlighted.
Click once on the Custom Level button.
Change the Download signed ActiveX controls to Prompt
Change the Download unsigned ActiveX controls to Disable
Change the Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe to Disable
Change the Installation of desktop items to Prompt
Change the Launching programs and files in an IFRAME to Prompt
Change the Navigate sub-frames across different domains to Prompt
When all these settings have been made, click on the OK button.
If it prompts you as to whether or not you want to save the settings, press the Yes button.
Next press the Apply button and then the OK to exit the Internet Properties page.



The following are recommended third party programs that are designed to keep your computer clean. A link as well as a brief description is included with each item.

• hosts file:
  
  • Every version of windows has a hosts file as part of them.
  • In a very basic sense, they are used to locate webpages.
  • We can customize a hosts file so that it blocks certain webpages.
  • However, it can slow down certain computers.
  • This is why using a hosts file is optional!!
  
  Download it here. Make sure you read the instructions on how to install the hosts file. There is a good tutorial here
  If you decide to download the hosts file, the slowdown problems can usually be avoided by following these steps:
  
  2. Click the start button (at the lower left hand corner of your screen)
  3. Click run
  4. In the dialog box, type services.msc
  5. hit enter, then locate dns client
  6. Highlight it, then double-click it.
  7. On the dropdown box, change the setting from automatic to manual.
  8. Click ok
• Run Secunia vulnerability check here and fix its findings.

Just a final reminder for you. I am trying to stress these two points.
UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE!!! Make sure you do this about every 1-2 weeks.
Make sure all of your security programs are up to date.
Visit Microsoft's Windows Update Site Frequently - It is important that you visit http://www.windowsupdate.com regularly. This will ensure your computer has always the latest security updates available installed on your computer. If there are new updates to install, install them immediately, reboot your computer, and revisit the site until there are no more critical updates.



Once again, please post and tell me how things are going with your system... problems etc.

Have a great day,
Blade

[Wildman0420]

Hey blade, sorry it took me so long to reply. Been a hectic week for the family. Again I have to say tank you so much for the help you've given us. The computer seems to be fine and all symptoms are no longer present. We will defenitly be donating to you, as soon as I can. (money's tight, car troubles, but I won't forget.) Also having worked with you before and seeing the good things you guys do here, I feel inspired to learn how to help people myself. Is there one of the online schools you'd recommend? I have alot of time this summer and feel like I could learn and be able to assist others.

One more time Blade, you are the best. If you didn't live so damn far away I'd for sure buy you a beer or something. When I donate to you, you'll have to buy yourself a beer from me. :-D

Here's a list (in alphabetical order) of sites that have malware removal school:
Bleeping Computer
Geeks to Go
Malware Removal
SpywareHammer
Spyware Info
Tech Support Forum
What the Tech

Training usually takes 6 months or more.
