| go.google (go.yahoo) virus I have the go.google virus - or whatever its name is. From reading the others' threads, I think I should start this new one as I read that each computer is different. What is my first step? I use Windows XP. |

| Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus Thank you Crunchie for the reply. Below is my HJT logfile. However when I try to use your http://www.superantispyware.com/ or http://www.superantispyware.com/definitions.html links, I receive the "fail to connect" to these websites. I receive that message when trying to connect to various websites relating to downloading antivirus or spyware tools. Also, not sure if this is important, but my computer will randomly restart itself - this is my second time replying back do to an earlier restart.

| Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus Download SDFix and save it to your desktop. Please then reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following :
|
| ||
| Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus Crunchie - I receive the same "failed to connect" when I click on your SDFix link. I think this virus blocks websites with downloads related to fixing viruses and spyware. Is there another way?? |
| ||
| Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus I am at work now and do not have any of my links with me. Do a Google search for HostsXpert and install it. Have it reset to the original M$ Hosts list and try again to get sdfix. |
| ||
| Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus Ok, I followed your steps: First, I found a site with a link for HostsXpert, downloaded HostsXpert.exe to desktop and opened the program. I then found "Restore MS Hosts File" under the 'File Handling' section and clicked on it. This action changed some of the content in the large window to the right. I then searched again for SDFix - which seems available only through downloads.andymanchesta.com Well, no luck. I still receive the same "can't establish a connection to the server at downloads.andymanchesta.com" Please forgive me if I've left out an important details - I guess I'm one of your typical newbies. 1) I have been using Firefox as my browser - not IE. 2) As per Daniweb instructions before posting this thread I downloaded MBAM. Although the virus would NOT allow me to DL it from a typical downloading site (i.e. www.malwarebytes.org) I was able to DL it to my desktop through CNET -- maybe there links are immune to this virus?? 3) the only way I can navigate to a website through a google or yahoo search is to copy the URL (as opposed to just clicking the link) then paste it into the address bar. But some sites, like andymanchesta.com or malwarebytes.org fail to connect. |

| Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus Update MBAM and do a full system scan and delete what is found. Post the log. |

| Re: go.google (go.yahoo) virus Crunchie, I ran MBAM. Their are two logs. I will post them here. BTW, after MBAM finished, it asked me to restart computer so that all objects found could be deleted. So I restarted.
