So I've gotten some sort of problem. I don't know when really but now THIS (use caution maybe when checking the link. It's the same as the title. duh?) website is popping up. I scanned it's credentials in Opera and something is amiss with it. I've since gone back to Firefox (my favorite) as it's been following me through IE and Opera anyway. I've been searching for it in google and this is the only place it seems that has any info.

What is it, and how do I get rid of it short of somehow just blocking it in Firefox?

I'll be grateful as tech if you can help we with this one. Thanks for your time

I checked out the other threads and just went along to use combofix… hope that's appropriate.

Hi wozzle,

My name is Tomk. I would be glad to take a look at your log and help you with solving any malware problems. Logs can take a while to research, so please be patient and I'd be grateful if you would note the following:

I will be working on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for the issues on this machine.
Please continue to review my answers until I tell you your machine appears to be clear. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.
It's often worth reading through these instructions and printing them for ease of reference.
If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to say or ask!! It's better to be sure and safe than sorry.
Please reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.

I checked out the other threads and just went along to use combofix… hope that's appropriate.

No it's not. There are maybe 100 places here that it advises you to not use the "fix" in someone elses thread. It also advises in various places to not run ComboFix or other advanced tools unless specifically directed.

Now… let's see what we can do for you.

Download TFC to your desktop

Close any open windows.
Double click the TFC icon to run the program
TFC will close all open programs itself in order to run,
Click the Start button to begin the process.
Allow TFC to run uninterrupted.
The program should not take long to finish it's job
Once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine,
if it doesn't, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean

Then

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
Once the program has loaded, select Perform quick scan, then click Scan.
When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
Be sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected.
When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location and post the results.
Note: If you receive a notice that some of the items couldn't be removed, that they have been added to the delete on reboot list, please reboot (shut down your computer then restart it).

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Click on My Computer under Scan.
Once the scan is complete, it will display the results. Click on View Scan Report.

Save this report to a convenient place. Change the Files of type to Text file (.txt) before clicking on the Save button.
Please post this log in your next reply.

I gave it a bit.. and everything is working perfectly! Thank you! If I weren't dead broke I'd donate something right now. Anyhow, I'll be sure to forward people to this site if they have concerns. You all rock, so keep it up!

wozzle,

Log looks good

You need to create a new Clean restore point:

Download SysRestorePoint to your desktop and unzip it to it's own folder.
Double click SysRestorePoint.exe so that we can make a new system restore point.
A box will pop up after it has made a new point, usually after a few seconds. Close that window and exit the program.

Remove all previous Restore Points
Click Start Menu > Run > copy and paste

cleanmgr

You may be asked to choose drive. Choose C: At top, click on More Options tab. Click Clean up… button in the System Restore box. Click on Yes button. When finished, click on Cancel button to exit.

Double-click My Computer.
Click the Tools menu, and then click Folder Options.
Click the View tab.
Check "Hide file extensions for known file types."
Under the "Hidden files" folder, Uncheck "Show hidden files and folders."
Check "Hide protected operating system files."
Click Apply, and then click OK.

The following is my standard advice for the future. Use what you can and pat yourself on the back for what you're already doing.

Please take time to read Preventing Malware - Tools and Practices for Safe Computing. Very important information for your consideration is contained therein.

I would also suggest you read this:
So how did I get infected in the first place?
by Tony Klein

Also: "How to prevent malware"
by miekiemoes

Please respond back that you understand the above and let me know if you have any questions. Otherwise, this thread will be closed Resolved.
