Google is redirecting search links.

Hi,

Lately i have found that when i search for things on google it is redirecting me to other dead search sites like camouflageclothing.com and similar. There seems to be links through maxisearch and maxifiles. I have found a post from a member on here who had a similar problem.

On that post they recommended d/l'ing hijackthis software and doing a scan so i have done this and posted the results of this below. Please does anybody know how to fix this problem?

Many Thanks

Hi Dale F
Welcome to Windowsbbs

Please run these two tools in the order given.

Please download VundoFix.exe to your desktop

• Double-click VundoFix.exe to run it.
• Click the Scan for Vundo button.
• Once it's done scanning, click the Remove Vundo button.
• You will receive a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, click YES
• Once you click yes, your desktop will go blank as it starts removing Vundo.
• When completed, it will prompt that it will reboot your computer, click OK.
• Please post the contents of C:\vundofix.txt and a new HiJackThis log in a reply to this thread.

Note: It is possible that VundoFix encountered a file it could not remove. In this case, VundoFix will run on reboot, simply follow the above instructions starting from "Click the Scan for Vundo button" when VundoFix appears upon rebooting.


Download ComboFix from Here or [color= "Red"]Here[/color] to your Desktop.

• Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
• When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Post that log and a HiJackthis log in your next reply

Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while its running. That may cause it to stall


Please post the two logs and a new HJT log.

Thanks
Geri

 

Hi Geri, thanks for your help in this.

I have followed the instructions you gave and got the following back:

Vundo came up that it did not find any errors on my system.

Combo scan gave the following log file:

Let me know.

Geri

 

Hey Geri,

all sorted now i think all the redirecting appears to have stopped

Thanks for your help

 

Hi Dale F

OK Good to hear.

You can delete any tools you were asked to download, (Vundo, ComboFix)There will be newer versions if ever needed again any way.

Please see this note on SpyHunter
http://www.spywarewarrior.com/rogue_anti-spyware.htm#sh_note

There are better ones out there, some for free, I would remove it in Add/Remove, You would do better looking elsewhere for trustworthy anti-spyware protection.



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 - A 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)
