Browser Redirect [Solved]

That's odd. Carry on with the ComboFix instruction.

Okay, I'm not a quitter. So I did locate the file by using the start button with the windows logo then using the search option there. I found it but it wouldn't allow me to open it, but it did give me a choice to open it, but I didn't choose either because I didnt know what I was doing. Now when I used the either of the programs to open it that you gave me , clicking the brower button would not find it. Where do I go from here. Thanks for your patients

Did you try other alternate web links apart from Virus Total to search the file? It's ok if you still couldn't find the file. I have another trick in my sleeve. We would need to alter the CFScript a bit for this. So just stop with the instructions given and let me know so that I can give you a new script.

I did try the other web links as well but they didn't work either. Whats the next move?

What we will be doing is use CF to upload it to my channel so that I can collect the file and run the scanner for you to determine its legitimacy.

Hopefully this way will work in our favour.

Please follow all previous instructions regarding security programs.

I attached it to this post. It was to much to post on the board.

Hi,

Multiple AntiVirus Running

I see you have more than one Anti-Virus program installed, ( AVG 2012 ) and ( Norton 360 ).

While this may seem like greater protection, it can cause problems including slowdowns, system hangs or even crashes. This can happen if both AntiVirus applications attempt to access the same file at the same time. This may cause the applications to interfere with each other, or cause the system to lock up. It can also be a drain on system resources, making a machine run slower than it should.

Any antivirus program must be removed via add/remove program.
For any program that doesn't have an add/remove entry, you will have to do this:

Re-install the program -> Reboot -> Uninstall

Remove AVG 2012 and keep Norton 360.

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

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.

• Once its finished it should automatically reboot your machine,
• if it doesn't, manually reboot to ensure a complete clean

Thank you for your patience, and performing all of the procedures requested. I would also like to take this opportunity to apologize for any delay that may have occurred.

MICROSOFT UPDATES
It is very important that you get all of the critical updates for your Operating System and Internet Explorer. Keeping your OS and browser up to date will help make you less susceptible to attacks by Trojans and viruses. Please go to Microsoft and download all the critical updates to help prevent possible re-infection.


Passwords
It is good security practice to change your passwords to all your online accounts on a fairly regular basis, this is especially true after an infection. Refer to this Microsoft article
Strong passwords: How to create and use them and consider a password keeper, to keep all your passwords safe.


SPYWARE PREVENTION
This is a good time to set up protection against further attacks. In light of your recent problem, I'm sure you'd like to avoid any future infections. Please read these well written articles:

• How Did I Get Infected In The First Place? by TonyKlein
• How to Prevent Malware by miekiemoes
• PC Safety and Security–What Do I Need?

To help protect your computer in the future I recommend that you get the following free programs if you do not already have them:

• WOT, Web of Trust, warns you about risky websites that try to scam visitors, deliver malware or send spam. Protect your computer against online threats by using WOT as your front-line layer of protection when browsing or searching in unfamiliar territory. WOT's color-coded icons show you ratings for 21 million websites, helping you avoid the dangerous sites:
  
• Green to go
• Yellow for caution
• Red to stop

WOT has an add-on available for both Firefox and IE.

• SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of ActiveX-based malware, blocks cookies, and restricts the actions of "bad" sites. See tutorial here

• MVPS HOSTS FILE replaces your current HOSTS file with one that will restrict known ad sites from serving you unsolicited advertisements. It basically prevents your computer from connecting to those sites by redirecting the attempted connections to 127.0.0.1, which is the IP of your local computer. See guide here and for Windows Vista here
  
• Download Host.zip and Save it to your Desktop.
• Right-click hosts.zip and select 'Extract all files' or 'Extract files…'.
• Follow the prompts and click 'Finish'.
• This will open the newly created hosts folder on your Desktop.
• Double-click on the included mvps.bat file, this will rename the existing HOSTS file to HOSTS.MVP, then it will copy the included updated HOSTS file to the correct location on your machine.
• Once updated you should see another prompt that the task was completed.

Follow this list and keep your antivirus program and antispyware programs updated and scan with them on a regular basis. By doing so, your potential for being infected again will reduce dramatically.

Hopefully this should take care of your problems! Good luck.

Do you have any questions or problems to ask? Please do not hesitate to do so.
