Links take me to random sites and downloading disabled

Unread postby eckins11 » February 5th, 2009, 9:41 pm

Thank you in advance for your assistance. I recently noticed that when clicking on links from search engines, they would lead me to random sites that were "close" to what I was looking for, but not exactly. Also, downloading has been disabled from sites. For instance, I am not able to download new dat files or reinstall my AV software from McAfee nor am I able to download other items from various sites. It usually results in a "Page cannot be displayed" error.

I have installed and run HijackThis and here is my log:

Hi eckins11,

If you still need help, please do the following:

Step 1

Please download DDS from Bleeping Computer and save it to your desktop.

Double click on dds to run it.

When done, DDS.txt will open. Another file, Attach.txt will open after a short while. Please save these 2 files to your desktop as they will be deleted once you close them.

Please attach Attach.txt in your next reply by scrolling down to Upload attachment and clicking on Browse....

An image is below for your reference:

Step 2

Please download gmer.zip from Gmer and save it to your desktop.

  1. Right click on gmer.zip and select Extract All....
  2. Click Next on seeing the Welcome to the Compressed (zipped) Folders Extraction Wizard.
  3. Click on the Browse button. Click on Desktop. Then click OK.
  4. Click Next. It will start extracting.
  5. Once done, check (tick) the Show extracted files box and click Finish.

Double click on gmer.exe to run it. It will start running a scan. If it detects rootkit activity, you will receive a prompt to run a full scan. Click Yes.

  • When done, you may receive another notice. Click OK.
  • Click on Save ... to save a log.
  • Copy and paste in Gmer.txt and click Save.
  • Close Gmer.

If you receive no notice, click on the Scan button.

  • It will start scanning again.
  • When done, click on Save ... to save a log.
  • Copy and paste in Gmer.txt and click Save.
  • Close Gmer.

Note: Do not run any programs while Gmer is running.

In your next reply, please post:

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.
