Computer Hijack When Googleing

$29, and it is just a collection of instructions for existing using tools like MalwareBytes, HitmanPro and Combofix.

I had the problem with Firefox and never managed to fix it. I’m using Seamonkey now.

That is an English-language link, FWIW.

I fixed a friend’s computer with a virus which did the google redirect. It was nasty. Every time I cleaned it off it came back. Tried multiple virus scanners, malware cleaners, and rootkit checkers. Each time they removed it but it came back each time. It turns out it was also in the boot record. I think I used tdsskiller to get rid of it there and that did the trick. It was something like this:

-Do a full scan with avast
-Do a full scan with malwarebytes
-Run tdsskiller
-Reboot
Good luck! If tdsskiller didn’t work I was just going to reinstall the computer as I had tried everything else. If you do reinstall, either get a new disk or do a full wipe of the disk including the boot record. If you don’t wipe the boot record you risk the virus coming back after reinstall.

There are, however, several sites where you can post logs from HijackThis etc. and people will help you debug the thing. I worked with someone at one of the MalwareBytes forums; the sticky here at the SDMB has some other suggestions. The folks there will work with you on running ComboFix and other cleanup tools.

One of the things he asked was whether we were getting redirects ( we were not, as it hapened). It turned out we had a rootkit hiding under my daughter’s user. Probably from a bad ad or something on some site she went to. Thankfully, she didn’t have admin rights, so the damage was limited.

For the record, MalwareBytes and AVG both failed to find the rootkit.

Oh. I thought you already tried that one.

Still, you need to go through and rescan with all your other tools to make sure there are no nasties left that the rootkit was hiding from you.
