Popups and Redirected to advertising sites

Unread postby mikeyewz » April 2nd, 2007, 1:11 pm

Hi, I have recently encountered irritating popups and redirections to advertising sites such as winantiviruspro 2007, http://www.debt-solution.co.uk and http://www.amaena.com. Any idea how I can stop this from happening.
Thanks, Mike.

Hi Mike.

It looks as if VundoFix made a good start on getting rid of the malware. However, you are currently using an unpatched version of Windows XP and are, thus, wide open to infections. It is CRITICAL that you update to Service Pack 1a immediately, so that we are not wasting our time. You can get SP1a here.

Do not update to SP2 yet. It is important that this is done after we are sure that your machine is clean.

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

Once you have SP1a installed, we need to run VundoFix again. Please delete the copy that you already have and download it again. This is to ensure that you have the most up-to-date version.

VundoFix

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop.
  • Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
  • Click the Scan for Vundo button.
  • Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
  • You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
  • Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
  • When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
  • It will create a report named vundofix.txt on your main drive (C:\vundofix.txt)
Note: It is possible that VundoFix may encounter a file it cannot remove.
In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot Simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button" when VundoFix appears at reboot.

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

Please post, as a reply to this thread:
  • The VundFix report (C:\vundofix.txt)
  • A new HijackThis log

Running VundoFix again seemd to have solved the problem! I will download updates to my PC ASAP.
Thanks very much!
Mike.

Hi Mike.

Running VundoFix again will not have got rid of all of the malware. You still have a serious infection on your computer and I cannot help you until you install SP1a.

If you want me to help you, please update and then post a HijackThis log and the VundoFix report.
