I have a redirecting bug issue

Unread postby lax3amk47 » February 21st, 2011, 11:12 pm

Whenever I search something on any search engine and then click on a search result my browser is redirecting me to some sort of spam website. Most of the time the site is promedia.com or something like that. I would really appreciate any help.

thank you in advance,
andrew

Hello lax3amk47 :),

Welcome to Malware Removal. I am Jack&Jill, and I will be helping you out.

Before we go further, there are a few things that I would like to make clear so that we are share the same understanding.
  • Please observe and follow these Forum Rules and ALL USERS OF THIS FORUM MUST READ THIS FIRST.
  • Any advice is for your computer only and is taken at your own risk. Fixes sometimes will cause unexpected results, but I will do my best to assist you.
  • Please read the instructions carefully and follow them closely, in the order they are presented to you.
  • If you have any doubts or problems during the fix, please stop and ask.
  • All the tools that I will ask you to download and use are safe. Please allow if prompted by any of your security softwares.
  • Do not use or run any malware cleaning tools without supervision as they may cause more harm if improperly used.
  • Refrain from installing any new programs except those that I request during the fix to prevent interference to my diagnosis of the problem.
  • Lack of malware symptoms does not mean your computer is clean. Stick to this topic until I give the All Clear.
  • If you do not reply within 3 days, this topic will be closed.

If you are agreeable to the above, then everything should go smoothly :) . We may begin.

--------------------

Remove P2P software
  • IMPORTANT: I notice there are signs of one or more P2P (Peer to Peer) File Sharing Programs on your computer.

    uTorrent

  • Please read our P2P Policy where we explain why it's not a good idea to have them.
  • Even if you are using a "safe" P2P program, it is only the program that is safe. You will be sharing files from uncertified sources, and these are often infected. The bad guys use P2P filesharing as a major conduit to spread their wares.
  • Go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs and uninstall the P2P program(s) listed above (in red).
  • Please remove them before we continue with fixing your computer.

--------------------

Please download DDS from one of the links below and save it to your desktop.

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

Please disable any script blocker before running DDS.

  • Double click on dds file and a command window will appear. This is normal.
  • Shortly after, two logs will appear:
    • DDS.txt
    • Attach.txt
  • A window will open instructing you save and post the logs.
  • Save the logs to a convenient location such as your desktop.
  • Copy the contents of both logs and post them in your next reply.

--------------------

Please post back:
1. DDS logs (DDS.txt and Attach.txt)

Due to a lack of response, this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
