I have a google redirect problem. Ran hitman pro, and found explorer.exe and winlogon infected. Checked both files with virustotal, and found them to be highly infected. How do I cure this problem?

Thanks,

Liz Merrill

Hi there it appears that you have two different infections so we will need to make some inroads on them

FIRST

Please read carefully and follow these steps.

• Download TDSSKiller and save it to your Desktop.
• Extract its contents to your desktop.
• Once extracted, open the TDSSKiller folder and doubleclick on TDSSKiller.exe to run the application, then on Start Scan.
  
  
  
  
  
• If an infected file is detected, the default action will be Cure, click on Continue.
  
  
  
  
  
• If a suspicious file is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue.
  
  
  
  
  
• It may ask you to reboot the computer to complete the process. Click on Reboot Now.
  
  
  
  
  
• If no reboot is require, click on Report. A log file should appear. Please copy and paste the contents of that file here.
• If a reboot is required, the report can also be found in your root directory, (usually C:\ folder) in the form of "TDSSKiller.[Version]_[Date]_[Time]_log.txt". Please copy and paste the contents of that file here.

THEN

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

• Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools
  
  
• Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  
  
• As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  
  
• Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:




Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
