Sever Busy....Retry Popup & Slow Response

Does your computer get redirected if you try to search with Google while using FireFox?


GooredFix

Please download GooredFix and save it to your Desktop. Double-click Goored.exe to run it. Select 1. Find Goored (no fix) by typing 1 and pressing Enter. A log will open, please post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called Goored.txt). Note: Do not run Option #2 yet.


GooredFix-Option 2
Please double-click GooredFix.exe on your Desktop to run it.

• Select "2. Fix Goored" by typing 2 and pressing Enter.
• Make sure all instances of Firefox are closed at this point.
• Type y at the prompt and press Enter again.
• A log will open, please post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called GooredLog.txt).

Note: If you receive a message saying that GooredFix needs your system to be restarted, please close all applications and reboot your system. Please also allow any registry changes that may be prompted by any of your security programs.

I do know that your computer is infected with Goored but I am asking you to do me the favor and run the cleanup the way I instructed. I need for my own education to see what the log of option 1 looks like for an infected computer as I am also teaching students how to clean up the junk.

Please post both logs in this thread.

Hi Elrond,

I normally use IE rather than FireFox so I had to try to search with Google in Firefox to answer your question... When I try to search in Google, the search itself works fine. However, when I click on a site in the search results, I am redirected to a site with more sites related to the original search rather than the site I clicked on in the Google search results... very strange... I would have never discovered this problem since I rarely use FireFox. Anyway, here are the two logs you requested. The Goored.exe program names both logs "GooredLog.txt" so I ran option 1, renamed that log, and then I ran option 2. Here they are:

When I went through the rest of the log from DDS I found that I have to give you this warning ( :

I am so sorry to be the bearer of bad news but unfortunately, you have a backdoor on your computer. This gives intruders complete control of your computer, logging key strokes, stealing information, etc.
You are strongly advised to do the following immediately!:

• Disconnect infected computer from the internet and from any networked computers until the computer can be cleaned.
• Call all of your banks, credit card companies, financial institutions and inform them that you may be a victim of identity theft and to put a watch on your accounts or change all your account numbers.
• From a clean computer, change *all* of your online passwords -- for ISP login, email, banks, financial accounts, PayPal, eBay, online companies, and any online forums or groups you belong to.
  
  Do NOT change passwords or do any transactions while using the infected computer because the attacker will get the new passwords and transaction information.

Because of its backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure it can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of Trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. However, if you do not have the resources to reinstall your OS and would like me to attempt to clean your machine, I will be happy to do so.

To help you make a more informed decision, please read the following articles:

• Danger: Remote Access Trojans.
• When should I re-format? How should I reinstall?
• How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and Credit Card Fraud?

Should you have any questions, please feel free to ask

Please let me know your decision and we'll continue with clean up if that's what you choose.

Once more I am sorry to be the bearer of this bad news and that it took so long to find it but it did not show up in any of the other logs..
