Hello, I have been recently infected with a virus which redirects you to a foreign site from any of the search engines (i.e. Yahoo, Google). I have read many of your forums and tried several fixes, but so far I have not been successful. One of the common themes was to run HijackThis, therefore I am posting my results with the confidence you can find where to go from here.

Hello locodaddy and welcome to GeeksToGo :)
I'm hammerman and I'm going to help you fix your problem.

Before we begin, here are some guidelines which will help us both in fixing your problem.
  • Malware removal is not instantaneous and will take a number of steps to complete. Please continue to carry out the steps requested until I let you know that your computer appears clean.
  • Please do no attach logs or post them in Quote/Code boxes unless requested.
  • I suggest you print or save any instructions I give you for easy reference. We may be using Safe mode and you will not always be able to access this thread. You can copy and paste these instructions into Notepad and then save the text file to your Desktop. If you need any help with this or further clarification, please let me know.
  • When posting logs, please ensure Word Wrap is turned off in Notepad. Open Notepad, select Format on the menu bar and make sure that Word Wrap is unchecked.
  • 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.
  • If in doubt about anything, please ask.
Please follow these steps.

-- Step 1 --

  • Download OTL to your desktop.
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  • When the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output.
  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in

    netsvcs
    msconfig
    safebootminimal
    safebootnetwork
    activex

    CREATERESTOREPOINT

  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan won't take long.
  • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
  • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post it with your next reply. You may need two posts to fit them all in.
-- Step 2 --

Download the GMER Rootkit Scanner. Unzip it to your Desktop.

Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while the scan is being performed. Do not use your computer for anything else during the scan.

Double-click gmer.exe. The program will begin to run.

**Caution**
These types of scans can produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any "<--- ROOKIT" entries unless advised!

If possible rootkit activity is found, you will be asked if you would like to perform a full scan.
  • Click NO
  • In the right panel, you will see a bunch of boxes that have been checked. UNCHECK the following boxes
    • Sections
    • IAT/EAT
    • Drives/Partition other than System drive (typically C:\)
    • Show all (important)
  • Now click the Scan button.
    Once the scan is complete, you may receive another notice about rootkit activity.
  • Click OK.
  • GMER will produce a log. Click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "GMER.txt"
  • Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop.
Post the contents of GMER.txt in your next reply.
