Hi,

I've had the this problem with my google & yahoo search for a day. When I click the link, I get redirected to a different search engine or some sort of advertisement page.
I've DLed adware, spyware terminator, and spybot. However, spybot cannot be opened and none of the other scans have fixed my problem.
System Restore also doesn't work as there is a "disk failure."

Here is my HJ logfile, thanks so much in advance.

Note: I can help you remove malware manually. Please avoid installing/uninstalling or updating any programs and attempting any unsupervised fixes or scans. This can make helping you impossible. First Track this topic. Then follow:

1) Can you please post your AVZ log:
Note: Run AVZ in windows normal mode and make sure you are connect to internet. If avz.exe doesn't start, then try to rename the file avz.exe to something else and try to run it again. Make sure you have your web browser open in background before following the steps below.

i) To create the log file, download AVZ by clicking HERE. Please save this file to your desktop or "My Documents" folder.

ii) Next, unpack the file to a new folder using the Compressed (zipped) folders wizard built into Windows XP/Vista, or a zip utility of your choice.

iii) Once you have unpacked the contents of the zip archive, please launch the file AVZ.exe by double clicking on it or right clicking and selecting Open.
Note: If you are running Windows vista launch AVZ.exe by right clicking and selecting Run as Administrator.

You should now see the main window of the AVZ utility. Please navigate to File->Custom Scripts. Copy the script below by using the keyboard shortcut CTRL+C or the corresponding option via right click.

begin
ExecuteAVUpdateEx( 'http://avz.virusinfo.info/avz_up/', 1, '','','');
ExecuteStdScr(3);
RebootWindows(true);
end.


Paste the script into the execution window by using CTRL+V keyboard shortcut, or the "paste" option via the right click menu. Click on Run to run the script, the PC will reboot. After the reboot the LOG subfolder is created in the folder with AVZ, with a file called virusinfo_syscure.zip inside. Upload that file to rapidshare.com and paste the link here.

Image Tutorial

2) Download and Run DDS which will create a Pseudo HJT Report as part of its log: DDS Tool Download Link. When done, DDS will open two (2) logs

   1. DDS.txt
   2. Attach.txt

Upload the logs to rapidshare.com and paste download link in your next reply.
Note: Disable any script-blocking programs and then double-click on the DDS.scr icon to start the program. If you did not disable a script-blocker that may be part of your antimalware program, you may receive a warning from your antimalware product asking if you would like DDS.scr to run. Please allow it to do so.

If I'm helping you and I don't reply within 24 hours send me a PM.

Follow these Steps in order numbered. Don't proceed to next step unless you have successfully completed previous step:

1) Run this script in AVZ like before, your computer will reboot:

begin
SetAVZGuardStatus(True);
SearchRootkit(true, true);
 DelCLSID('{9E4D1CA8-B5F5-40B2-9665-2599E22434F5}');
 DelCLSID('{3D7BFFA3-7E56-4F1B-8F20-CCC763C31EBC}');
 DelCLSID('{3CCDB9C7-08F8-44B1-9F57-1A0460ACCC05}');
 QuarantineFile('C:\Windows\temp\7684624.tmp','');
 DeleteFile('C:\Windows\temp\7684624.tmp');
 DeleteFile('C:\windows\tasks\{5B57CF47-0BFA-43c6-ACF9-3B3653DCADBA}.job');
BC_ImportDeletedList;
ExecuteSysClean;
BC_Activate;
RebootWindows(true);
end.

2) Change your dns servers to Open DNS and reboot.

PS: Check and see if you still are getting redirected.

Back to normal, thank you so much!

Would it now be acceptable for me to uninstall some of the spyware removal programs I had previously installed?
Or are there additional diagnostics that need to be executed?

Thanks again!

Run one more log just to eliminate rootkit. Follow these steps in order numbered:

1) Download GMER: http://gmer.net/download.php
[This version will download a randomly named file (Recommended).]

2) Disconnect from the Internet and close all running programs.

3) Temporarily disable any real-time active protection so your security programs will not conflict with gmer's driver.

4) Double-click on the randomly named GMER file (i.e. n7gmo46c.exe) and allow the gmer.sys driver to load if asked.

5) GMER will open to the Rootkit/Malware tab and perform an automatic quick scan when first run. (do not use the computer while the scan is in progress)

6) If you receive a WARNING!!! about rootkit activity and are asked to fully scan your system...click NO.

7) Now click the Scan button. If you see a rootkit warning window, click OK.

8) When the scan is finished, click the Save... button to save the scan results to your Desktop. Save the file as gmer.log and upload it rapidshare.com. Post the download link to the uploaded file in your post.

9) Exit GMER and re-enable all active protection when done.

Note: Please give me the exact name of the file you downloaded in step 1 + post your log from step 8 in your next post.

Hi, I've ran the program 5 times and each time, Windows closes the program.

"The program has stopped working" or something along the lines of that.

Any ideas?

I disabled every real-time protection.

GMER still doesn't completely scan in safe mode -- it always stops working and the program needs to be closed.

The first time it closed, my computer was rebooted.

Do I need to delete GMER and download another copy in safe mode?

Follow these Steps in order numbered. Don't proceed to next step unless you have successfully completed previous step:

1) Attach a Combofix log, please review and follow these instructions carefully.

Download it here -> http://download.bleepingcomputer.co...

Before Saving it to Desktop, please rename it to something like 123.exe to stop malware from disabling it.

Now, please make sure no other programs are running, close all other windows and pause Antivirus/Sypware programs (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html Programs to disable) until after the scanning and removal process has taken place.

Please double click on the file you downloaded. Follow the onscreen prompts to start the scan. Once the scanning process has started please DO NOT click on the Combofix window or attempt to use your computer as this can cause the scanning process to stall. It may take a while to complete scanning and this is normal.

You will be disconnected from the internet and your desktop icons/toolbars will disappear during scanning, do not worry, this is normal and it will be restored after scanning has completed.

Combofix will create a logfile and display it after your computer has rebooted. Usually located in c:\combofix.txt, please upload that file to rapidshare.com and paste the link here.

2) Please zip up C:\qoobox\quarantine and upload it, to a filehost such as http://rapidshare.com/ Then, Private Message me the Download links to the uploaded files.

I was getting the following messages: "Could not read the boot sector. Try adjusting the disk access level in the options dialog." & then another rootrepeal error message saying "Could not read the system registry! Please contact the author!"

But there was no crash.

Here's the report I still received though:

Follow these Steps in order numbered. Don't proceed to next step unless you have successfully completed previous step:

1) Run this script in AVZ like before, your computer will reboot:

begin
SetAVZGuardStatus(True);
SearchRootkit(true, true);
 QuarantineFile('C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ESQULpohctvxthcxrsbpbpneedkivdtpuyjwi.sys','');
 DeleteFile('C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ESQULpohctvxthcxrsbpbpneedkivdtpuyjwi.sys');
ExecuteRepair(10);
ExecuteRepair(11);
ExecuteRepair(17);
BC_ImportAll;
ExecuteSysClean;
BC_Activate;
RebootWindows(true);
end.

2) After reboot execute following script in AVZ:

begin
CreateQurantineArchive('C:\quarantine.zip');    
end.


A file called quarantine.zip should be created in C:\. Upload that file to rapidshare.com and Private message me download link.

3) Follow these steps carefully and in order numbered:

1) Download The Avenger by Swandog46 from here.

2) Unzip/extract it to a folder on your desktop.

3) Double click on avenger.exe to run The Avenger.

4) Click OK.

5) Make sure that the box next to Scan for rootkits has a tick in it and that the box next to Automatically disable any rootkits found does not have a tick in it.

6) Copy all of the text in the below code box to the clipboard by highlighting it and then pressing Ctrl+C.

Files to delete:
C:\Windows\system32\drivers\ESQULpohctvxthcxrsbpbpneedkivdtpuyjwi.sys


7) In the avenger window, click the Paste Script from Clipboard, button.

8) Click the Execute button.

9) You will be asked Are you sure you want to execute the current script?.

10) Click Yes.

11) You will now be asked First step completed --- The Avenger has been successfully set up to run on next boot. Reboot now?.

12) Click Yes.

13) Your PC will now be rebooted.

Note: If the above script contains Drivers to delete: or Drivers to disable:, then The Avenger will require two reboots to complete its operation.

14) After your PC has completed the necessary reboots, a log should automatically open. If it does not automatically open, then the log can be found at %systemdrive%\avenger.txt (typically C:\avenger.txt).

15) Please upload this log to rapidshare.com and post a download link to the uploaded file.

Obviously you are no Jabuck. He understood the rules of the forum and KNEW that HJT posts had to be requested by a qualified helper. When someone posted a HJT without a request, he would let the poster know. it is forum etiquette.

Where can I find CCleaner?

The System seems to be running fine, google search is back to normal in Firefox and IE. And I didn't have to rename MalwareBytes, now I'm just waiting for the other scan to finish.

Thanks again.

i had this problem long time ago. i fixed it with windows live one care. it's actually some kind of spy ware or virus or Trojan. this Trojan is redirecting your page because it wants to download other viruses from the internet ad infect the computer. it turns off windows defender and you can't turn it on. i had trend micro internet security 14, which could not even try to remove the Trojan. some how i got the info about it on Microsoft's website. they told me to download windows live one care. as soon as i finished installing it. it said there is a Trojan in you computer. it deleted about 25 Trojans off my computer. now it works fine. . i will put the link about it if i find it.
