Hi, after offering to try and sort out the sister in law's computer, I'm asking for your help! It seems to have a few issues, notably:

Spawning lots of IE windows with adverts in (even when using firefox)#
Redirecting search engine results pages to different pages

I've run AVG spyware jobby and super antispyware which has already resolved a couple of issues, but I don't seem to be able to make any progress on the IE bug.

Any help greatly appreciated, hijack this log is here:

Hello JonR , welcome to GeeksToGo! :)

My name is Tal, and I will be assisting you in the process of removing malware from your computer. I am going through your logs now, and I'll be back soon with instructions on how to proceed.

As I'm still in training, my replies to you have to be approved before posting, so please excuse delays between replies.

Hello JonR ,

Before we proceed to clean your computer from malware, let's go over some points that will help both me and you, and prevent causing damage to your computer:
  • Please don't be afraid to ask questions! :) No question is considered dumb here. It's better to be safe than sorry!
  • Please follow the steps exactly in the same order posted. If you can't perform a certain step, or you're unsure on what to do, please stop and let me know.
  • NEVER fix anything in HijackThis or other programs on your own! This can be very dangerous and cause harm to your system. If you witness a certain entry or program you're unsure about, please don't hesitate to ask! :)

Step1 : Scanning with SmitFraudFix


Please download SmitfraudFix (by S!Ri) to your Desktop.

Double-click SmitfraudFix.exe
Select option #1 - Search by typing 1 and press "Enter"; a text file will appear, which lists infected files (if present).
Please copy/paste the content of that report into your next reply.

**If the tool fails to launch from the Desktop, please move SmitfraudFix.exe directly to the root of the system drive (usually C:), and launch from there.


Note : process.exe is detected by some antivirus programs (AntiVir, Dr.Web, Kaspersky) as a "RiskTool"; it is not a virus, but a program used to stop system processes. Antivirus programs cannot distinguish between "good" and "malicious" use of such programs, therefore they may alert the user.
http://www.beyondlog...processutil.htm

Step2 : Scanning with DSS

Please download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) and save it to your Desktop.
  • Close all other windows before proceeding.
  • Double-click on dss.exe and follow the prompts.
  • When it has finished, dss will open two Notepads main.txt and extra.txt -- please copy (CTRL+A and then CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your next reply. Note: It's likely that the two logs won't fit into one post. If so, please post extra.txt in a separate post.

Please include the DSS logs and the SmitFraudFix log in your next reply :)

Regards,

Tal
