Redirect virus

Unread postby ledzeplin101 » December 22nd, 2015, 4:06 pm

looks like I have some kind of redirect virus that Malwarebytes isn't taking care of for me. Nearly every time I type anything into the search bar, I'm taken to yahoo, even though I'm searching from Google's homepage. Nobody likes yahoo's search engine. Certain links are redirecting me as well and it's just generally hard to navigate the web. I can't say much more about the symptoms. Let me know if you can help me solve this and thank you!

Please note that all instructions given are customised for this computer only, the tools used may cause damage if used on a computer with different infections.

If you think you have similar problems, please post a log in the "Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my!" forum and wait for help.


Unless informed of in advance, failure to post replies within 3 days will result in this thread being closed.


Hi Bradley

I'm Gary R,

Before we start: Please be aware that removing Malware is a potentially hazardous undertaking. I will take care not to knowingly suggest courses of action that might damage your computer. However it is impossible for me to foresee all interactions that may happen between the software on your computer and those we'll use to clear you of infection, and I cannot guarantee the safety of your system. It is possible that we might encounter situations where the only recourse is to re-format and re-install your operating system, or to necessitate you taking your computer to a repair shop.

Because of this, I advise you to backup any personal files and folders before you start.

As an added safety precaution, before we start removing anything, I'd like you to make a backup of your Registry, which we can restore to if necessary.

Please click on THIS link, and follow the instructions for installing TCRB and creating a backup of your Registry.

Please observe these rules while we work:
  • Do not edit your logs in any way whatsoever.
  • Perform all actions in the order given.
  • If you don't know, stop and ask! Don't keep going on.
  • Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
  • Stick with it till you're given the all clear.
  • Remember, absence of symptoms does not mean the infection is all gone.
  • Don't attempt to install any new software (other than those I ask you to) until we've got your computer clean.
  • Don't attempt to clean your computer with any tools other than the ones I ask you to use during the cleanup process. If your defensive programmes warn you about any of those tools, be assured that they are not infected, and are safe to use.
If you can do these things, everything should go smoothly.
  • As you're using Windows 10, it may be necessary to right click some of the tools we use and select ----> Run as Administrator

It may be helpful to you to print out or take a copy of any instructions given, as sometimes it is necessary to go offline and you will lose access to them.



Before we start removing anything, I'd like you to run a further scan for me ....

Please download AdwCleaner and save it to your desktop.

  • Double click AdwCleaner.exe to run it.
  • Click Scan.
  • A logfile will automatically open after the scan has finished.
  • Close the adwCleaner window, click ok to the prompt.
  • Please post the contents of that logfile with your next reply.
  • You can also find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[R1].txt.

AT THIS POINT, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO CLEAN ANYTHING THAT MAY BE FOUND

Thanks very much for the help. In the past I've had to reinstall the OS so if it's the worst case scenario I am prepared to do so. Luckily most files are on the Hard drive and the OS is on the SSD. Log file is attached.

OK, let's take care of what I can see so far, and see where that takes us.

First ...

Please go to Control Panel > Programs > Uninstall a program and Uninstall the following:

BitTorrent


Reboot your computer once it's uninstalled

Next ...

  • Double click AdwCleaner.exe to run it.
  • Click Scan and allow the scan to finish.
  • Now click Clean to remove the items found.
  • Click OK to the prompt.
  • The tool will run & your computer will be rebooted automatically. A logfile will open after the restart.
  • Post the contents of the logfile with your next reply.
  • You can also find the logfile at C:\AdwCleaner[s1].txt.

Next ...

  • Click Start
  • Type notepad.exe in the search programs and files box and click Enter.
  • A blank Notepad page should open.
    • Copy/Paste the contents of the code box below into Notepad (don't include Code: Select all).
Code: Select all

    • Save it to the same folder/directory that FRST.exe is in, naming it as fixlist.txt

NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user. Running it on another machine may cause damage to your operating system

  • Start FRST in a similar manner to when you ran a scan earlier, but this time when it opens ....
    • Press the Fix button once and wait.
    • FRST will process fixlist.txt

Yes unfortunately. Malwarebytes actually blocks these sites so half the time I do a google search It goes straight to a screen that says "Malwarebytes has blocked a potentially malicious website." I was about to uninstall malwarebytes since this doesn't really help me at this point.

OK, please run a new scan for me with FRST and post me your new Frst.txt and Addition.txt logs.

If FRST asks to update to a new version when you run the scan, please let it update.

Next ....

When the FRST scan has finished, I want you to run a search for me using FRST ....

  • Double click Frst64.exe to launch it.
  • FRST will start to run.
    • When the tool opens click Yes to the disclaimer.
    • Copy/Paste or Type the following line into the Search: box.
    Fun4IM;Bandoo;Searchnu;Searchqu;iLivid;whitesmoke;datamngr;kelkoopartners;trolltech;babylon;conduit;trovi;clientconnect;yahoo

    • Press the Search Registry button.
    • When finished searching a log will open on your Desktop ... Search.txt
    • Please post it in your next reply.

Questions ....

  • Which browser are you using when your searches get re-directed ?
  • If you use another browser do you still get re-directed ?

Google Chrome


When doing so, select the Also delete your browsing data checkbox.

Once re-booted ....

Download and install a new clean version of Google Chrome ... https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/b ... index.html ... then see if you are still being re-directed.

Glad to hear we found the cause of the re-directs.

So what we need to do now is a little tidying up, and then we're finished.

  • Please download delfix and save it to your desktop.
  • Right-click on delfix.exe and select " Run as administrator " to run it.
  • Check the following boxes ...
    • Remove disinfection tools

    ... then click on Run.
  • Once it has finished, a notepad file named DelFix.txt will open. Post the contents of this notepad in your next reply.
  • The log can also be located at the root of the system drive, C:\DelFix.txt.

  • If you have any remaining problems please let me know about them.
  • If not it's time to make your computer more secure.

Please read the article below which will give you a few suggestions for how to minimise your chances of getting another infection.
