I'm having the same problem as another poster. IE popups keep happening in the background (i can only see them in task manager). I can hear them popping up when my sound is on and every now and again one is an audible ad, so I have to search for it and close it down, when I try to close all of the others in task manager they keep popping up, usually about 12 or so at a time. Please help, I've done the computing net scan but I will be around to post whatever else needs to be posted, thanks for your help

It happens while I'm running Firefox, I hardly ever use IE and I'm never using it when these sites are popping up, I also get random error popups (this site has encountered an error and IE has to close) I just hit the button to report it to microsoft and close it out, but I'm never running IE when these popups happen

Tried scanning with antivirus? Post scan log if you did if you haven't scan with kaspersky/eset/bitdefender online scanners and post scan results.

I am also having this issue. Onecare live scan from Microsoft detected and removed System32\iehlpr.dll and Windows\sysguard.exe . Now both Onecare and Defender show the computer as clean, but but the issue persists. I was getting redirects from my search results both in Google and Live.com (If I open the link in a new window it opens correctly). No DNS IPs in my TcpIp reg key. I am really baffled. Anyone figure this out yet? Thanks.

1) Can you please post your AVZ log:
Note: Run AVZ in windows normal mode. 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 logfile, 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
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.

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

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

begin
SetAVZGuardStatus(True);
SearchRootkit(true, true);
 DelBHO('{F5BDF86B-A5FF-39A6-A4EB-585761E05B33}');
 QuarantineFile('C:\WINDOWS\system32\xwr66768.dll','');
 DeleteFile('C:\WINDOWS\system32\xwr66768.dll');
BC_ImportDeletedList;
ExecuteSysClean;
BC_Activate;
RebootWindows(true);
end.

2) After Reboot. 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.

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

begin
SetAVZGuardStatus(True);
SearchRootkit(true, true);
 QuarantineFile('c:\windows\system32\xa23104765.exe','');
 DeleteFile('c:\windows\system32\xa23104765.exe');
 QuarantineFile('c:\windows\system32\xa23104312.exe','');

 QuarantineFile('c:\windows\system32\xa23021625.exe','');
 DeleteFile('c:\windows\system32\xa23021625.exe');
 QuarantineFile('c:\windows\system32\xa23021109.exe','');
 DeleteFile('c:\windows\system32\xa23021109.exe');
BC_ImportDeletedList;
ExecuteSysClean;
BC_Activate;
RebootWindows(true);
end.

2) Run this script in AVZ:

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

3) A file called quarantine.zip should be created in C:\. Then please zip up C:\qoobox\quarantine and upload both it and C:\quarantine.zip to a filehost such as http://rapidshare.com/ Then, Private Message me the Download link to the uploaded file.

4) Lastly, uninstall Combofix by: pause Antivirus/Sypware programs (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html Programs to disable) > Start > run > type combofix /u > ok. Or Start > run > type 123 /u > ok.

Thanks for the files. Please follow these steps in order numbered and post summary log after each step.

1) If you use Windows System restore, turn it off > reboot. How to turn it off/on: http://support.kaspersky.com/faq/?q...

Run a full scan with http://www.eset.eu/online-scanner

# Check the box next to YES, I accept the Terms of Use.
# Click Start
# When asked, allow the activex control to be installed.
# Click Start
# Check below options:

    * Remove found threats
    * Scan archives
    * Scan for potentially unwanted applications (Advance Settings).
    * Enable Anti-Stealth technology (Advance Settings).

# Click Scan
# Wait for the scan to finish
# When it finishes it will create a log file here: C:\Program Files\EsetOnlineScanner\log.txt
# Attach this logfile to your next message.

Note: Turn system restore back on, if you wish; this to remove malware from system volume information files.

2) Install, update database and run full scan with Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware. Attach malwarebyte full scan log, fix anything detected.
