Hello there,

I understand your frustration there, and I'm glad you came to the right place. I would appreciate if you could perform and provide me the logs as below.

Please download DDS by sUBs from one of the following links and save it to your desktop.
    • DDS.scr
    • DDS.com
    • DDS.pif
  • Disable any script blocking protection (How to Disable your Security Programs)
  • Double click DDS icon to run the tool (may take up to 3 minutes to run)
  • When done, DDS.txt will open.
  • After a few moments, attach.txt will open in a second window.
  • 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 scroling down to the Attachments area and then clicking Browse. Browse to where you saved the file, and click Open and then click UPLOAD.
===================================================

  • Please download GMER from one of the following locations, and save it to your desktop:

Hi Conspire thanks for your help.

I did manage to locate and delete a number of searchqu files yesterday but I'm not confident that this has had any lasting effect so I'm very thankful for your help.

Here is the text from the DDS Report and Check Up and I've also attached the Gmer text and Attach text reports.

Hello there,

***Read through this entire procedure and if you have any questions, please ask them before you begin. Copy this page to Notepad and save to your desktop for reference as you will not have any browsers open while you are carrying out portions of these instructions. Do take note that if you could not run any tools requested, carry on with the next instruction(if any) and let us know.



Can you tell me the locations of the file which you deleted?

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

Please read through these instructions to familarize yourself with what to expect when this tool runs


Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

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

  • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. Note: If you are having difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, or are unsure as to what programs need to be disabled, please refer to the information available through this link : How to Disable your Security Programs

    **********************************************
  • 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.

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. ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.
3. 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 tell your helper.
