Okay so I dont really know how I got it but I am very confused I keep getting vimax ads everywhere almost. My google searchs don't end up being right, everytime I click something it will redirect me to a different page. I have tried MalwareBytes but after I install it the icon on my desktop doesn't respond. I also tried HiJackthis but after I install it and click its .exe it gives me a The Blue Screen. Let me know if you can help me.
Hi,

Let's try these.

Please download DDS and save it to your desktop.
  • Disable any script blocking protection
  • Right-click dds.scr and select Run As Administrator to run the tool.
  • When done two logs should open:
  • DDS.txt
  • Attach.txt
  • Save both reports to your desktop.
—————————————————
  • Post the contents of the DDS.txt report in your next reply
  • Attach the Attach.txt report to your post by scrolling down to the Attachments area and then clicking Browse. Browse to where you saved the file, and click Open and then click UPLOAD.

Download the GMER Rootkit Scanner. Unzip it to your Desktop.

Before scanning, make sure all other running programs are closed and no other actions like a scheduled antivirus scan will occur while the scan is being performed. Do not use your computer for anything else during the scan.

Right-click gmer.exe and select Run As Administrator. The program will begin to run.

**Caution**
These types of scans can produce false positives. Do NOT take any action on any
"<— ROOKIT" entries unless advised!

If possible rootkit activity is found, you will be asked if you would like to perform a full scan.
  • Click NO
  • In the right panel, you will see a bunch of boxes that have been checked … leave everything checked and ensure the Show all box is un-checked.
  • Now click the Scan button.
    Once the scan is complete, you may receive another notice about rootkit activity.
  • Click OK.
  • GMER will produce a log. Click on the [Save..] button, and in the File name area, type in "GMER.txt"
  • Save it where you can easily find it, such as your desktop.
Post the contents of GMER.txt in your next reply.
Due to inactivity this topic will be closed. If you need help please start a new thread and post a new HJT log
