Hello, I unfortunately have gotten "Win 7 Security 2011" which is not allowing me to use the Internet or even open Google. I have tried using the computer in Safe Mode, but I am still not able to open MozillaFirefox to even download OTL or something like that to do a scan.

******
Okay, since posting this, I have done a system restore and am now able to use Mozilla. I did an OTL log, and I have attached it to this post. I'm not sure if the problem is still there after the system restore.
Any help you can provide or suggestions are most appreciated! Thanks.

(The laptop that has the "Win 7 Security 2011" problem is an ACER one series Model NAV50)

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello melmartin and welcome to G2G!

My nick is maliprog and I'll will be your technical support on this issue. Before we start please read my notes carefully:

NOTE:

• Malware removal is NOT instantaneous, most infections require several courses of action to completely eradicate.
• Absence of symptoms does not always mean the computer is clean
• Kindly follow my instructions in the order posted. Order is crucial in cleaning process.
• Please DO NOT run any scans or fix on your own without my direction.
• Please read all of my response through at least once before attempting to follow the procedures described.
• If there's anything you don't understand or isn't totally clear, please come back to me for clarification.
• Please do not attach any log files to your replies unless I specifically ask you. Instead please copy and paste so as to include the log in your reply.
• You must reply within 3 days or your topic will be closed

Step 1

Please close all running programs and Run OTL

• Under the Custom Scans/Fixes box at the bottom, paste in the following
  
  

  :OTL
  IE - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings: "ProxyEnable" = 1
  IE - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings: "ProxyOverride" = *.local
  IE - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings: "ProxyServer" = http=127.0.0.1:52020
  FF - prefs.js..network.proxy.http: "127.0.0.1"
  FF - prefs.js..network.proxy.http_port: 52020

  :Files
  ipconfig /flushdns /c
  C:\Users\user\AppData\Local\230t17d8r0p00q1761g3mnq4h8r4n7k5w62

  :Commands
  [purity]
  [emptytemp]
  [emptyflash]
  [resethosts]
  [Reboot]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top
• Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done
• Post the fix log it produces in your next reply.

Step 2

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware

Double Click mbam-setup.exe to install the application.

• Make sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
• If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
• Once the program has loaded, select "Perform Quick Scan", then click Scan.
• The scan may take some time to finish, so please be patient.
• When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
• Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
• When disinfection is completed, a log will open in Notepad and you may be prompted to Restart.(See Extra Note)
• The log is automatically saved by MBAM and can be viewed by clicking the Logs tab in MBAM.
• Copy&Paste the entire report in your next reply.

Extra Note:
If MBAM encounters a file that is difficult to remove, you will be presented with 1 of 2 prompts, click OK to either and let MBAM proceed with the disinfection process, if asked to restart the computer, please do so immediately.

Step 3

Please don't forget to include these items in your reply:

• OTL fix log
• Malwarebytes log

It would be helpful if you could post each log in separate post

Dear Maliprog,

Thanks so much for your help! I did the OTL fix and I rebooted. When the OTL notepad came up tho, it kept said "not responding" for a really really long time. So, eventually I closed it. Sorry, I don't know what to post here since I don't have the OTL thing.

I wasn't sure if I should move ahead to step 2 of your instructions or if i should redo the OTL thing? Just thot I'd ask before making a misstep. Thank u so much for your help!
