Gah! Koobface - bill103.exe - browser hijacking

Unread postby valvestat » March 17th, 2010, 10:19 am

Hello there,

A friend recommended you to me as I've done all I can. I've tried MBam and Spybot and the standard Comdo antivirus scanner. The PC is my mum's and she thinks that the infection came from Facebook - seems the case after looking into Koobface and bill103.

Here's how I found the PC:

I could not connect to the internet. Uninstalled Fastwebsearch. I noticed and stopped two processes called bill103.exe & BMUpdate.exe. In the registry, I deleted all reference to bill103 & bmupdate (including the Run folder instances.)

After running Spybot and MBam, a file containing Koobface was removed. On restart, bill103 & bmupdate were not running and I was able to get onto the net - however, searches in Google take longer than usual and any link from a Google search is redirected to any number of random websites, some wanting to install software.

Current Symptoms
Comodo internet security would not update, searches on Google are redirected to random and probably malicious websites. This affects both IE and Firefox (although I installed Firefox after doing my best to remove the problems.)

Ok.. here's the logs & thanks for your time guys & gals.
