hey guys! newbie here. i was wondering if anyone could help me get rid of whatever it is i have in my laptop.

often, when i click a google search result it redirects me to some other website like casinocaesar.com and it usually takes two tries before i get the actual website i wanna go to. i tried running different types of spyware detectors and i even did a full system virus scan but the ONLY programs that detected something were SpyNoMore and Spyware Doctor. unfortunately, you have to pay for their program so they could get rid of it :(

anw i was hoping sum1 could help me out here. I'm pretty sure I've other stuff on my laptop, but this DNS Hijacker's the most annoying one so far.

This is my HJT log:

Welcome to the forum did you see this information? "BEFORE you POST" -Preliminary Steps
http://forums.spybot.info/showthread.php?t=288

What's happening is the hackers know we use HJT and they hide their junk from it, that's why we need the scans. Usually there is a clue, but not in your HJT log. The programs being pointed to are even legitimate (SpyNoMore just got off the rouge spyware list).

I can tell you this is a problem: O4 - Startup: LimeWire On Startup.lnk = C:\Program Files\LimeWire\LimeWire.exe
http://www3.ca.com/securityadvisor/pest/pest.aspx?id=453088059

If you still need help, this is what I woud like you to do.
Run this scan first: http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/ActiveScan.htm
If it will remove what it finds, do so and save the scan results to post.

You have this one onboard, run it next according to the directions in this link. Please delete or at least quarantine anything it locates, and save the scan report.
http://forums.security-central.us/showthread.php?t=3165

Restart the computer so the changes can go into effect, post the Panda scan results, AVG Scan results and a new HJT log. Add any comments you think will help.

Thanks
 
okay, i did all the preliminary steps already, i tried running AVG anti spyware and Spybot S&D but all they found were tracking cookies. I got rid of them as instructed in the Preliminary Steps thread. The same thing with Panda ActiveScan (although it also fouind my YahooMessenger Archive Decoder a problem). I restarted my computer and checked if i still have the hijacker in here. i tried opening a google search result and still got redirected.

I forgot to mention, the symptoms come and go. Yesterday, at some point, google was working perfectly but, just now, after i've checked, it still keeps redirecting me. ANW, hopefully you guys could help me out here. It's getting pretty annoying.

Thanks for returning your information and the feedback. Sometimes the junk can be hard to find, expecially with no outward sign in the HJT log and nothing really showing in the scans. I see an old marker for
SUPERantispyware but not the program, so I will clean a little. This may be a hidden Wareout infection (rootkit), we will take a look, then you have F_Secure onboard, so we will scan with it to see if shows anything. I am interested in where you are being directed, please mention this in the next post.

Let's proceed like this:

1) How to make files and folders visible:
Click Start > Open My Computer.
Select the Tools menu and click Folder Options.
Select the View Tab. Under the Hidden files and folders heading, select Show hidden files and folders.
Uncheck: Hide file extensions for known file types
Uncheck the Hide protected operating system files (recommended) option.
Click Yes to confirm. Click OK.
You may reverse this for safety when we are finished.

2) Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/content/view/25/2/
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

3) AVG Anti-Spyware: Deactivate the Resident Shield
- Before proceeding, deactivate the "Resident Shield" as this may prevent changes to the registry.
- To do this, click "Change State" to the right of the Resident Shield option in the main window.
- You will clearly see the status change to Inactive if you have done this correctly.

4) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Thanks
 
i tried google again just a few minutes ago and it redirected me to aicse.com. as soon as i get redirected, i clicked back, and tried the link again and it worked fine this time. however, like i said in my previous post, they symptoms come and go plus, it seems like as soon as i get redirected, google works fine again after a few minutes.

anyway, i was just wondering, before i follow through the steps you suggested, should i really delete LimeWire cuz i kinda need it for my downloads. but, if i have to, it'll be alright, just wondering if it's really necessary. thanks for replying btw ;)
 
Since this is your computer, you may run any junk on it you wish. Junk is why you are having the problems you are having now. Did you bother to read this information:

Post the information I requested so I can see if it gives me any information.

aiight, i've done everything already, ATF Cleaner, HJT, F-secure Backlight, and F-secure Scan, and i removed limewire.

f-secure backlight found exactly the same thing that SpyNoMore detected as a DNS hijacker. Im not sure what to do with it though.

Here's my log:

Thanks for returning the information. HJT is clean as is the Blacklight log, I suggest you finish up like this.

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:
http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001111912274039?Open&src=sec_doc_nam

AVG Anti-Spyware is a good program but it does use some resources. Once the trial is over you can update and use the scanner for as long as you wish, but unless you purchase it you should turn it off completely so it does not run unless you start it manually.

Here is some great information from Tony Klein, Texruss, ChrisRLG and Grinler to help you stay clean and safe online:
