[Resolved] Malware issue.

jarrod843 · 15th June 2009

Hello and thanks for taking the time to reply to this post. I recently took on a computer for repair. The computer is a dell desktop running windows xp sp3. The computer was running slow so I added some ram to it. As i got farther into the computer i realized it add some malware/adware/spyware on it. When I tried to download avast I noticed I was being redirected to google. Then when I tried to click on the avast link I was being redirected to other sites. SO I tried to run MBAM and it wont run just the hour glass pops up but then goes away though it does indicate that the process is running in task manager. Same thing with avast which I installed from my flash drive after being unable to download. Below is the info from dds as per forum rules.

Hi and welcome

Add/remove programs list shows 2 antivirus on the computer
avast! Antivirus
AVG Free Edition

If found please uninstall one or we'll have problems trying to run certain tools.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Search Assistant Mysidesearch <--uninstall please.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

NEXT**
Download worksnow from HERE:

* IMPORTANT !!! Save worksnow to your Desktop

Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. Note: If you are having difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, or are unsure as to what programs need to be disabled, please refer to the information available through this link : Protective Programs
Double click on worksnow & follow the prompts.

Note: worksnow will run without the Recovery Console installed.
As part of it's process, combofix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...d7/RcAuto1.gif

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...7/whatnext.png

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.
"copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread as well.

Notes:

1.Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.
3. Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CD, floppy and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security. If this is an issue or makes it difficult for you -- please tell your helper.
4. CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Give it atleast 20-30 minutes to finish if needed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks for returning the information.

Please take the time to read over a few of my preventive tips.

Please navigate to Microsoft Windows Updates and download all the "Critical Updates" for Windows.

Firefox 3
The award-winning Web browser is now faster, more secure, and fully customizable to your online life. With Firefox 2, added powerful new features that make your online experience even better. It has more features and is a lot more secure than IE. It is a very easy and painless download and install, it will no way interfere with IE, you can use them both.
*NoScript - Addon for Firefox that stops all scripts from running on websites. Stops malicious software from invading via flash, java, javascript, and many other entry points.

WOT Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites - green to go, yellow for caution and red to stop, helping you avoid the dangerous sites. WOT has an addon available for both Firefox and IE.
