Hi,

Using firefox the browser keeps opening new sessions, each with 9 tabs to various sites, such as

http://xn--u 00cx*h-79a4e521bm18i/?%1BV%BE6%03k

I have run an AV scan and an Adaware (Lavasoft) scan and it is still there.

Can anyone help please?

Thanks

Hi,

Remove P2P software
While looking over your log, I have noticed the following Peer-to-Peer filesharing programs are present on your computer:

uTorrent

These programs are the #1 source of infected systems. Although the software itself can be clean, the files you download are often infected with malware. Because of this, we do not allow P2P software present on machines we're cleaning anymore..

This means you must remove the above Peer-to-Peer filesharing programs and any others present on your machine. For an fully explanation of our policy, please read the following P2P Program Policy.

You can uninstall these programs in the Control Panel -> Add/remove Programs. Please do so and follow the instructions below:

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.
Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.
  • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
    1. DDS.txt
    2. Attach.txt
  • Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.



Download GMER here by clicking download exe -button and then saving it your desktop:
  • Double-click .exe that you downloaded
  • Click rootkit-tab and then scan.
  • Don't check
    Show All
    box while scanning in progress!
  • When scanning is ready, click Copy.
  • This copies log to clipboard
  • Post log in your reply.
