Prunnet + BHOs = My computer is suffering - Help!

Redirects

I was still having redirects after all that! I loaded Comodo Internet Suite and it found 30 things! I quarantined them all. I also ran CCleaner and did the registry scan.

Also, IE loaded when I restarted my computer and Comodo had a popup taht said something like "Comodo is learning : Internet Explorer alters the key XYZ123 (I don't remember what it was)". That may be because I stopped some of my startup programs in spybot. Too bad you cant just uninstall IE! :FF:

I took some screenshots because I wasn't sure how to get text files from these things.
Files Quarantined by Comodo:

CCleaner Registry - Morpheus Toolbar? I never had one. I did use Morpheus for a while, but never used a toolbar.:

Here is an example of redirects, I opened the search results into new tabs and you can see what I got instead! Other common ones are Yahoo HotJobs, CowSurvey, Various AntiVirus Sites, Various Search Sites, etc...

Actually, this is pretty typical, if I load 5 search results into tabs, 4 will be bogus and one will be something I actually clicked on.

Don't know if this helps, but here is an updated HJT:

Another Question - Nuclear Option?

[Note: I also have another reply above this one]

Would this work:

1. Purchase a new SATA HD (1TB is cheap these days!!)
2. Take out my current drives (IDE's)
3. Load Windows
4. Then re-insert my current drives as secondary (slave) drives and copy desired files onto the new C drive.
5. Format the old drives.

Would the new C drive just get infected straight away?
Or does the infection need to be on C in order to work?

Or am I getting ahead of myself.

Hi drrchrds

I restarted my computer and Comodo had a popup taht said something like "Comodo is learning

Please read this

Files Quarantined by Comodo:
a lot of files in the System Restore and they are no active........

I do not know why you have this
C:\Program Files\Sibelius Software 3 \Keygen.exe

all of them "Heur.Packed" are legitimate program. I do not know why Comodo has moved them to quarantine

CCleaner removes only empty registry values
Registry Cleaners, not recommended

Open Notepad.
Copy the text from the box to an empty file.
Save it as export.bat to your desktop.
Choose save as all types

regedit /e C:\look.txt "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\microsoft\windows nt\currentversion\drivers32"

Close Notepad.

Locate Export.bat on your Desktop and double-click on it It will create a file called look.txt in C:\
Copy the entire text and past it to your reply here in this topic.

Thanks peku006

FYI: This is the redirect script. I found 2 copies called overlay.xul in the firefox folder, both created within 1 minute of the time I got Vundo. I encrypted this file with axcrypt so that I could undo it if I had to and I replaced it with a blank version with the same name, result: no more redirects:

Hi drrchrds

Logs look good. How's the computer running now? Any problems?

Hi drrchrds

The scans are fine and it looks like your machine is clean :yahoo:

Now lets uninstall ComboFix:

• Click START then RUN
• Now type Combofix /u in the runbox and click OK

Now that you are clean, please follow these simple steps in order to keep your computer clean and secure:

Disable and Enable System Restore-WINDOWS XP
This is a good time to clear your existing system restore points and establish a new clean restore point:

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.
• Reboot.

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.

This will remove all restore points except the new one you just created.

Here are some free programs I recommend that could help you improve your computer's security.

Spybot Search and Destroy 1.6
Download it from here. Just choose a mirror and off you go.
Find here the tutorial on how to use Spybot properly here

Install FireTrust SiteHound

Install MVPS Hosts File from here
The MVPS Hosts file replaces your current HOSTS file with one containing well know ad sites etc. Basically, this prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting them to 127.0.0.1 which is your local computer.
Find Tutorial here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

Update your Antivirus programs and other security products regularly to avoid new threats that could infect your system.
You can use one of these sites to check if any updates are needed for your pc.
