Hello,

I have a Lenovo laptop running a Windows Vista. Ever since two days ago, firefox and internet explorer has been redirecting me to unknown sites. This is particularly true for results from google searches. Even when browsing this page, my browser often redirects me somewhere else. I also cannot access websites related to spyware/ malware removal tools, such as http://www.malwarebytes.org. My malwarebytes anti-malware software also refuses to start up and I am guessing that this is related to the fact that the malware is trying to prevent the software from being updated.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you so much!

Hi

Please do this:

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:
Link 1
Link 2
Link 3

VERY IMPORTANT !!!
Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

* IMPORTANT - Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, (especially windows defender) usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. If you have difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, refer to this link here
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
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.

[external image: Posted Image]

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

[external image: Posted Image]
  • 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.
Notes:
1. Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.
2. Do not "re-run" Combofix. If you have a problem, reply back for further instructions.
3. ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.
4. 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 advise.
5. 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.


Please make sure you include the combo fix log in your next reply as well as describe how your computer is running now
Dear CatByte,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I run ComboFix as you told me to. However, after it finished running, my computer was automatically restarted. However, Windows blue screen appeared and my computer would not boot up, I tried to boot up using the safe mode, but during the process, it just stalled. I turned my computer off manually, and tried safe mode again. It worked, and ComboFix created a log for me. Then, I restarted my computer and it worked.

My browser still redirects me to unknown sites though, whenever I click search links from google.

The following is my ComboFix log:
