    Hi All,

    Please bare with me as this is my first post to the forum.

    I seem to have picked up a Trojan/Malware/Spyware in the last few days that causes a hijack/redirection of search engine results. This happens with all the major search engines i.e. Google, Yahoo, Ask etc. The result and reported urls are genuine but clicking on them I am redirected to some obscure site wither it be another search engine, loans site or worse. one that seems to pop up alot isnpicamps.com

    I have run AVG Anti-Virus and Spyware which picked up a few things but the problem remained. I have also run Spybot without luck and some other utils I have tried some recomendations from other forums but again the problem persists. i don't want to do a system rebuild if I don't have to but if necessary I will. However If anyone can help I have attached the HijackThis log file I have just done.

    Thanks in anticipation of some advice..

    Hi bigspiros
    Welcome to windowsbbs.

    You have a wareout infection. Lets start out this way.

    Please download FixWareout from here:
    http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe

    Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
    The fix will begin; follow the prompts. If your firewall gives an alert, (because this tool will download an additional file from the internet), please don't let your firewall block it, but allow it instead.
    Then you will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.
    Once the desktop loads please post the text that will open (report.txt) and a new Hijackthis log

    Geri

    Hi Geri ,

    I have done as requested and latest HijackThis log is as below.

    Earlier today I run an AVG Spyware scan from Safe Mode and which found a DNS-Changer Trojan which AVG Spyware succesfully removed.

    I also run SpyBot twice no problems and then imunised.

    All appears well at the moment, no nasty redirects although I'm not counting any chickens just yet..however I am hoping.

    I had the P.C on/off rebooting multiple times today and still O.K.

    Anyway here is the log and thanks very much for your help /guidance I very much appreciate it.

    Hi bigspiros

    Please re-open HiJackThis and scan only. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.

    O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} - http://software-dl.real.com/0140b2b7...p/RdxIE601.cab

    Now close all windows other than HiJackThis, then click Fix Checked.

    Close HJT.

    Reboot your computer.


    You need to install SP2 and all critical updates from microsoft.
    Without these patches you will be back here in no time with more problems.

    We have just a few more things to do, mostly maintenance and then our recommendations:


    This would be a good time to set a new system restore point for your machine.
    Set New System Restore Point. Do not do this unless there are no other user accounts to be diagnosed.

    Also, as you are an XP user, if there are any other accounts on this machine, they too, must be cleaned with AdAware, Spybot S&D, then HJT. Not all infections are global, nor are all the HJT fixes global. You can post each user account here into this thread, but please, do only one at a time to avoid confusion. It is very rare that anything significant is ever found.

    The following is a list of tools and utilities that I like to suggest to people. This list is full of great tools and utilities to help you understand how you got infected and how to keep from getting infected again.
    1. Spybot Search & Destroy - Uber powerful tool which can search and annhilate nasties that make it onto your system. Now with an Immunize section that will help prevent future infections.

    2. AdAware - Another very powerful tool which searches and kills nasties that infect your system. AdAware and Spybot Search & Destroy compliment each other very well.

    3. SpywareBlaster - Great prevention tool to keep nasties from installing on your system.

    4. SpywareGuard - Works as a Spyware "Shield" to protect your computer from getting malware in the first place.

    5. IE-SpyAd - puts over 23,000 sites in your restricted zone so you'll be protected when you visit innocent-looking sites that aren't actually innocent at all,
      and MVPS Hosts File will accomplish a similar tactic and provide another layer of protection.

    6. Install WinPatrol to prevent unknown applications from being inserted to start up on your machine

      Now just because you have security apps installed, they are useless unless updated regularly.

    7. Another thing I would suggest, is to install SiteAdvisor. It gives sites a few different 'ratings' and while not fool proof, a good additional layer of information about many sites.

    8. ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
      This program is for XP and Windows 2000 only, Cleans out temporary files all the garbage you collect while surfing the web.

    9. Windows Updates - It is very important to make sure that both Internet Explorer and Windows are kept current with the latest critical security patches from Microsoft. To do this just start Internet Explorer and select Tools > Windows Update, and follow the online instructions from there.

    10. Google Toolbar - Free google toolbar that allows you to use the powerful Google search engine from the bar, but also blocks pop up windows.
    11. Trillian or Miranda-IM - These are Malware free Instant Messenger programs which allow you to connect to multiple IM services in one program! (AOL, Yahoo, ICQ, IRC, MSN)
