Hello Rip,

Your DNS servers have been Hijacked and you probably have Wareout installed. Winpfind will list the keys to change for the TaskManager, we will fix that.

Please download FixWareout from
http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/Fixwareout.exe

Note: Leave your internet connection running, the fixwareout may prompt you to download BFU from merijn.

Save it to your Desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, then make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish. The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

When your system reboots, follow the prompts. Afterwards, HijackThis will launch.

Put a check in the box on the left side of the following items if still present:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =
O2 - BHO: HomepageBHO - {e0103cd4-d1ce-411a-b75b-4fec072867f4} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\hp5A93.tmp (file missing)
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{11DB6F72-0BCA-4684-BC97-44A51066608D}: NameServer = 85.255.115.109,85.255.112.129
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\..\{11DB6F72-0BCA-4684-BC97-44A51066608D}: NameServer = 85.255.115.109,85.255.112.129
O17 - HKLM\System\CS2\Services\Tcpip\..\{11DB6F72-0BCA-4684-BC97-44A51066608D}: NameServer = 85.255.115.109,85.255.112.129

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click Fix Checked

At the end of the fix, you may need to restart your computer again. A log will be created, C:\fixwareout\report.txt, I will need that file later on.

If present, delete the folder C:\Program Files\WareOut
______________________________

Reset your DNS servers
  1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Network and Internet Connections, and then click Network Connections.
  2. Right-click the network connection that you want to configure, and then click Properties.
  3. On the General tab (for a local area connection), or the Networking tab (for all other connections), click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
  4. If you want to obtain DNS server addresses from a DHCP server, click Obtain DNS server address automatically. (Recommended)
  5. If you want to manually configure DNS server addresses, click Use the following DNS server addresses, and then type the preferred DNS server and alternate DNS server IP addresses in the Preferred DNS server and Alternate DNS server boxes.
Reboot your PC
______________________________

Download WinPFind.zip to your Desktop or to your usual Download Folder.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/winpfind.php
Extract it to your C:\ folder. This will create a folder called WinPFind in the C:\ folder.
Open the C:\WinPFind folder and double-click on WinPFind.exe.
Click on the Start Scan button and wait for it to finish.

This program will scan large amounts of files on your computer for known patterns so please be patient while it works. When it is done, the results of the scan will be displayed and it will create a log file named C:\WinPFind\WinPFind.txt. Please copy that log into your next reply.
______________________________

Please do an online scan with Kaspersky Online Scanner

Click on Kaspersky Online Scanner

You will be promted to install an ActiveX component from Kaspersky, Click Yes.
  • The program will launch and then start to download the latest definition files.
  • Once the scanner is installed and the definitions downloaded, click Next.
  • Now click on Scan Settings
  • In the scan settings make that the following are selected:

Hello Rip,

Let try to clarify things ... and why you need to follow my instructions and download the programs I did request to clean up your PC.

Right now, your DNS servers are NOT yours, they point to DNS servers in Russia and not to the DNS servers of your ISP. This means that each address you request on Internet is not resolved by your trustworthy ISP but by a bunch of hackers and they might redirect you to another page instead of the one you did ask for. They may have access to your computer, change things, download programs without your knowlegde, use your computer to perform illegal things against other computers and steal your personal information.

This situation will turn worse if you don't follow exactly the directions I did post for you. The programs I asked you to download and run are from wellknown anti-malware fighters sources, if one had turned naughty to use a cookie for tracking we would know about it because we don't tolerate that and if that would happen, we would not ask you to install or use such a program.

Please follow all the steps I did post, in the exact order to clean up your PC, because you already have malware that loads at startup. HijackThis does not show all the nasties on your computer, that's why we need Ewido and Kaspersky. Winpfind will show entries in the registry that have been modified by the malware without your knowlegde. The only thing we wish is to prevent that your computer get's pilled up with junk, crap, etc .... something that will happen if you don't follow my instructions as quick as possible.

If you have a problem with a part of the fix, write it down on a piece of paper, write down the error message if you get one, note down the file that caused download trouble and post all those details back in your reply.

Can we start to desinfect your computer now please ?
