Hi
Yes I'm still getting redirected last night and today!

[Advertisements]

OK lets run a quick check on the MBR now, and check that there is nothing hidding there. Have you had any further alerts about ramnit

Download aswMBR.exe ( 1.8mb ) to your desktop.

Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it

Click the "Scan" button to start scan


On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply

[Essexboy]

OK MBR is good, are you still getting the redirects? If so are they in firefox or IE and also do they send you to the same site every time

It looks as though Avast stopped the virus from actually infecting your system

Could you run a fresh OTL scan for me please and include all users but no requirement for the initial scan script

[tallula28]

Its in Firefox and no they are different sites. Its not every time though.

When you say inital scan scripts what is that?

[Essexboy]

OK quick change of plan as it is Firefox

Please download GooredFix from one of the locations below and save it to your Desktop
Download Mirror #1
Download Mirror #2

• Ensure all Firefox windows are closed.
• To run the tool, double-click it (XP), or right-click and select Run As Administrator (Vista).
• When prompted to run the scan, click Yes.
• GooredFix will check for infections, and then a log will appear. Please post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called GooredFix.txt).

[Essexboy]

Can you now recheck for redirects please as Gored fix killed a little bad boy

[tallula28]

It seems to be ok

[Essexboy]

You have been very lucky - normally with a Ramnit infection the only sure fire way to kill it is a reformat, but as it never got a grip on your system all is good

Subject to no further problems

I will remove my tools now and give some recommendations, but, I would like you to run for 24 hours or so and come back if you have any problems

Now the best part of the day ----- Your log now appears clean

A good workman always cleans up after himself so..The following will implement some cleanup procedures as well as reset System Restore points:

Run OTL

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

  :Commands
  [resethosts]
  [purity]
  [emptytemp]
  [EMPTYFLASH]
  [CLEARALLRESTOREPOINTS]
  [Reboot]

• Then click the Run Fix button at the top
• Let the program run unhindered, reboot the PC when it is done

Uninstall ComboFix

Remove Combofix now that we're done with it.

• Please press the Windows Key and R on your keyboard. This will bring up the Run... command.
• Now copy/paste this: ComboFix /Uninstall in the runbox and click OK. Note the space between the X and the /Uninstall, it needs to be there.
  

  

• Please follow the prompts to uninstall Combofix.
• This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again.
• You will then recieve a message saying Combofix was uninstalled successfully once it's done uninstalling itself.

Run OTL and hit the cleanup button. It will remove all the programmes we have used plus itself.

We will now confirm that your hidden files are set to that, as some of the tools I use will change that

• 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 Do not show hidden files and folders.
• Click Yes to confirm.
• Click OK.

Your Java is out of date. Older versions have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system. Please follow these steps to remove older version of Java components and upgrade the application.

Upgrading Java:

• Go to this site and click Do I have Java
• It will check your current version and then offer to update to the latest version

SPRING CLEAN

Download and run Puran Disc Defragmenter
For the first run I would recommend a boot defrag and disk check


Now that you are clean, to help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programmes:

Malwarebytes. Update and run weekly to keep your system clean

Download and install FileHippo update checker and run it monthly it will show you which programmes on your system need updating and give a download link

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system and to keep them updated.

To keep your operating system up to date visit

• Microsoft Windows Update

To learn more about how to protect yourself while on the internet read our little guide How did I get infected in the first place ?
Keep safe

[tallula28]

Thank you so much!!!

I have done the first OTL fix , unistalled Combi fix and done the second OTL clean up but I still have f6m7thy, aswMBR and Goored fix on my desktop. Shall I delete these?

And also my IE is not working now

[Essexboy]

What error do you get with IE ?

Yes delete the files from your desktop

[tallula28]

I dont get an error. It's just nothing happens when i click the icon in the task bar.

[Essexboy]

OK the simple solution for this problem is to remove and then re-install IE8, do you know how to do that ?

Go to add/remove programs and select windows updates - locate IE8 and uninstall this will then revert to IE7. Once done re-install IE8
