grahams333,
-------------------------------------------------------------
  • Open a new Notepad window (Start>All programs>accessories>notepad). Choose File, New.
  • Highlight the contents of the codebox below and press Ctrl+C to copy it to the clipboard. Do Not copy the word "Code".
    Code: Select all
    File::
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\audio3dupdate20080913.exe
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\nbtstat20080918.exe
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\nbtstat20080919.exe
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\nbtstat20080921.exe
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\nbtstat20080922.exe
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\nbtstat20080926.exe
    C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\spaceupdate20081029.exe
    
  • Paste the contents of the clipboard into the Notepad window by pressing Ctrl+V or Edit, Paste
  • Save it to your desktop as CFScript.txt

    Image
  • Now drag and drop the CFScript.txt icon onto combofix.exe (zzz.exe) as in the picture above, and follow the prompts.
  • Then post the resultant log, C:\ComboFix.txt, in your next reply.
------------------------------------------------
This next step will get rid of the infections stored in the System Restore repository.
We don't need to get rid of the ones in C:\Qoobox\ That's a quarantine folder. You can empty that folder at leisure, just be sure not to activate anything while deleting.

Reset System Restore Points
  • Click Start, All Programs, Accessories, System Tools, System Restore
  • Click Create A Restore Point then click Next. Give it a name and then click Create, then Close.
  • Click Start, Run and type Cleanmgr
  • Select the Windows drive (usually C:), then click OK.
  • After it scans, Click the More Options tab.
  • Click Clean Up in the System Restore Section.
This will remove all previous restore points except the newly created one.

Reboot your machine to record the changes you have made.
This System Restore sequence is not to be done regularly, but only as a Special Case after the removal of malware or changes in the Restore settings.

Let's see if the ComboFix.txt log shows the Deletions.

Hi Askey127,

I hope I was able to do this correctly. When I dropped the CFScript file into ComboFix, it said I needed an update, so I did and then it ran the scan again.
Here are the results of the scan.
Thank you.

Re: Having troubles with redirects

Unread postby askey127 » October 29th, 2010, 8:46 pm

grahams333,
Rootkits sometimes corrupt Malwarebytes files. We may have to Uninstall, delete Program Files Folder, and re-install.
Before resoting to that, let's run RKill before Malwarebytes and see if it lets us do it.
------------------------------------------------
Download and Run Rkill
Please download and run the tool named Rkill, which may help in allowing other programs to run.
There are 4 different versions. If one of them won't run then download and try to run one of the other ones.
Vista and Win7 users need to right click Rkill and choose Run as Administrator
You only need to get ONE of these to run, not all of them. You may get warnings from your antivirus about any of these tools, ignore them or shutdown your antivirus.
Please download Rkill from one of the following links and save to your Desktop:
Rkill.exe

Hello,

I was able to get the 1st of the Rkills to run on my system.

But then I was unable to do the UPDATES to MalawareBytes due to ERRORCODE: 732(0,0)
However I ran the scan anyway. The results follow.

Thanks!

Everything seems alright! The redirects have stopped. YAY!

AVG seems to scan E-mail if it goes through Outlook, however I'm using Hotmail and one of my e-mail accounts has a virus. (It's sending pharmacy links to my contacts) I want to make sure that my AntiVirus software is up and running properly in case this virus attempts to come back to me and to compromise my system again.

Also, which of the programs that you had me install on my Desktop can I now safely remove?

Thank you for all your help! You've been a pleasure to work with!

Askey127,

I also wanted to ask, is it safe to say now that I can go through and do some of the "What to do if your computer is running slowly" techniques? I have quite a few older programs and such that I'd like to remove to improve speed on my system. (However, it's already better than when we first started this process!)

Thanks again!

grahams333,
Yes, it is OK to do the things in that Slow Computer thread.

There is one thing I would like you to do before we claim success.
You version of Malwarebytes is an old one, and should be replaced.
The new version will check to see that no new spyware has been hiding on your machine.
If you cannot get it to update and run properly, please tell me.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Remove Programs Using Control Panel
From Start, Settings, Control Panel or Start, Control Panel, click Add/Remove Programs.
Highlight each Entry, as follows, one by one, if it exists, and choose Remove :

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Take extra care in answering questions posed by any Uninstaller.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Download and Run MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware It is free for non-business use.
Please go here to the Download Location, click on Download.
  • After clicking on the download and choosing Save, the "Save to location" dialog will come up.
  • Choose Desktop as the location to save the installer and click Save again.
  • You should now have a desktop icon named mbam-setup.exe. Double-click it.
  • Let it install the program where it wants to, with the default settings, and click Finish.
  • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
  • If necessary, start Malwarebytes Anti-Malware again.
  • Once the program is running, select Perform Quick Scan, then click Scan.
  • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
  • If it found any malware items. Check all items except items in the C:\System Volume Information folder... and click Remove Selected.
  • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location, and post the contents in your reply.
  • The log can also be found using the "Logs" tab in the program. You can click any "Scan" log listed to open its contents.
  • Recent logs are named by time/date stamp in this format : mbam-log-2010-mm-dd(hour-min-sec).txt

Looks good Grahams333.
I think you are free of malware.
I hope it goes well for you, and the tips in the "Slow Computer" thread help to speed it up.

This is extra security if you wish to do it:
-----------------------------------------------------------
Replace the Current HOSTS File with MVPs
You can read about HOSTS files here : http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

  • Disable DNS Client Service. This is necessary when installing a large HOSTS file.
    From Start, or Start, Run
    Type services.msc in the box and hit <Enter>
    Give permission to continue if necessary.
    Scroll down to DNS Client on the list, Right Click it and choose Properties.
    Under Service Status, click Stop. Wait until it reports the service stopped.
    Under Startup Type, choose Disabled.
    Then click Apply, OK
  • Use HostsXpert to Install the HOSTS File
    Download HostsXpert and unzip (extract) it to your computer, somewhere where you can find it.
    • Double click on HostsXpert.exe to launch the program. Give whatever Permissions are required.
    • In the bottom half of the left pane, click on File Handling
    • If the first button at the top is labeled Make Writeable?, click on it so the label changes to Make Read Only
    • Click third button from the bottom, labeled Download. A couple new buttons will appear at the top.
    • Click on the top button labeled MVPs Hosts and choose Replace
    • When asked to verify if you want to Replace present Hosts file, click OK.
    • When it finishes, click on File Handling again.
    • Click the button at the top labeled Make Read Only, so the label changes to Make Writeable?
    • Hit the X in the upper right corner to exit HostsXpert

If you have a separate third party firewall, or Winpatrol, you may have to give permissions at various times to Unlock the present default HOSTS file and install the new one.
