Internet Search Links Are Ads

Unread postby jeffreytp » September 16th, 2008, 5:15 pm

I just got infected with some crazy virus/adware this morning and I have been unsuccessfull at fully removing the culprit.

This is what remains:
When I do a web search (I have only tried google & yahoo), when I click on the results, they are all ad pages.

What I have done so far:
-Spy-Bot search and Destroy - This removed some problems
-SuperAntiSpyware - This removed some problems
-CCleaner - This removed some dirt
-Smitfaudfix - Didn't make any changes according to the log
-ATF Cleaner - Cleaned some more dirt
-Fixwareout - not sure if this did anything useful

All of these cleanings were done in Safemode

I have installed recovery console (I have XP Pro SP3)

I am running NOD32 3.0.642

I have ran Hijack This 2.0.2 an removed some entries. Attached is my current log file.

Lastly, I have tried to run ComboFix.exe and after the status bar finishes, the computer beeps twice and gives me a message that says, "ComboFox has detected the presence of rootkit activity and needs to reboot the machine. I have stopped all processes and tried this in regular and safemode and get the same message.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
