First of all, hello to everyone, I hope you guys can help me with my problem. Im new to this site, and I hope it works out.
To the point, on my PC, earlier today, I downloaded what I thought was a version of WINRAR. After I downloaded this, a popup came up, with hehehe on it. After I closed it, i deleted the version of WINRAR, did a Norton Anti-Virus Scan, as well as a Spybot Search&Destroy. They picked up some harmful files and removed them. When I went to use my internet browser, everytime i went to google, it kept the same URL, but took me to a Microsoft Security Center site. Where there it warned me that I had a virus, and I NEEDED to download a program. I didnt download a program, I did try system restore which successfully restored the computer. But however when i try to go to google or other sites, it still redirects here. After reading a few forums I was referenced to HIjackThis. Downloaded the program and got my log results below.
If you can help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks,
Metera

DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix, Vundofix, or HijackThis fixes without supervision.

Doing so could make your pc inoperatible and could require a full reinstall of your OS, losing all your programs and data.



Stay with this topic until I give you the all clean post.

You might want to print these instructions out.

I suggest you do this:

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


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.


Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.
Download - ATF Cleaner»
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Under Main choose: Select All
Click the Empty Selected button.

(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
To keep saved passwords, click No at the prompt.)

It's normal after running ATF cleaner that the PC will be slower to boot the first time or two.

Next:

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.
Also "copy/paste" a new HijackThis log file into this thread.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
