Hi, I ran a new Hijack This scan without trying to shut down my malware beforehand. It's some form of fake antivirus software which set firefox to try and access the web through a proxy, which means all websites sent me to a fake "warning" page, SpyBot can't be installed because it thinks 127.0.0.1 is the download server, and and I can't open any files because the malware pops up a window saying the file is "infected". Fresh logfile below.

Hi,

1. All tools MUST be run from the executable. (.exe)
With Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator")

Please re-open HijackThis and click on Do a system scan only. Check the boxes next to all the entries listed below.(If exist)
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5577
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [cehfexyi] C:\Users\Jack\AppData\Local\amyiunvao\lefooadtssd.exe


Note : Do not worry if you are unable to find any of these entries, continue with the ones that you discovered. Now close all windows other than HijackThis, then click Fix checked. Close HijackThis.


===================================================

Please download GooredFix from one of the locations below and save it to your Desktop
Download Mirror #1
Download Mirror #2
  • Ensure all Firefox windows are closed.
  • To run the tool, double-click it (XP), or right-click and select Run As Administrator (Vista).
  • When prompted to run the scan, click Yes.
  • GooredFix will check for infections, and then a log will appear. Please post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called GooredFix.txt).

===================================================

  • Download OTL to your desktop.
  • Double click on the icon to run it. Make sure all other windows are closed and to let it run uninterrupted.
  • When the window appears, underneath Output at the top change it to Minimal Output.
  • Check the boxes beside LOP Check and Purity Check.
  • Under Custom Scan paste this in

  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
  • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
  • Please copy (Edit->Select All, Edit->Copy) the contents of these files, one at a time, and post it with your next reply.
  • You may need two posts to fit them both in.

On your next reply please post :
