Google and Yahoo searches redirected to wrong pages
 

Hello

Could anyone help please, when trying to search via google or even yahoo the pages don't come up or are redirected to the wrong pages. AVG cant update any longer because the server address doesn't work.

The lines with this IP address are the problem. Needs dealing with immediately IMHO.

Read the sticky posts in the spyware forum and follow the advice there to resolve this. You can do this yourself with the anti-malware routines offered or you do this the lon way round posting stuff back and forth in the forum.

Just editing your registry won't get rid of this. You need to have your system scanned by the specific anti-malware functions listed in the spyware forum.

Do please act now and don't use the internet further with this PC.

Re: Google and Yahoo searches redirected to wrong pages
 

Hi thanks for the reply, I am new on here and feeling slightly thick at the moment!

How do you find the sticky notes ?

Thanks again

Simon

He is referring to the "Read Me:" posts at the top of this forum: http://www.daniweb.com/forums/forum64.html

Re: Google and Yahoo searches redirected to wrong pages
 

Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBA-M) to your Desktop.

* DoubleClick mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install MBA-M.
* 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 full 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 MBA-M finishes, Notepad will open with the log. Please save it where you can find it easily. The log can also be opened by going to Start > All Programs > Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware > Logs > log-date.txt.
Reboot the computer.
The version of HiJackThis you used is out of date. Right Click your desktop and choose New Folder, name it HJT. Remove that old version of HJT and download the newest version from HERE Please save it to the new folder on the desktop.
Run a full system scan with it, save the log and post back here with both logs.

Hi

This is a good friends PC and I won't be able to get back to it until Saturday now (Because I am away working for a couple of days) I followed the instructions in the Read me post and I thought I would add a couple of things that happened.

ATF Cleaner worked ok.
The Microsoft Malicious software removal tool wouldnt work, it extracted but then nothing happened.
Also when I earlier installed SpyBot it runs but I can't open it to perform a scan.
I ran MalawareBytes and fixed the check issues, saving the log which I will post when I get back to the PC. I ran it in Safemode (because of the problems with the other software)

I had to leave it then (it was gone midnight by then) but the problem is not solved. i willgo through the whole process on Saturday and post the Logs I get if the problem doesn't get solved.

Thanks again for all the help and pointing out the old version of HijackThis.

Simon

Re: Google and Yahoo searches redirected to wrong pages
 

You are going to have to find a way to run MBA-M in normal mode. It is not made to run in Safe mode.

Re: Google and Yahoo searches redirected to wrong pages
 

Hi I downloaded the up to date version of HijackThis and ran it. I also ran Malawarebytes and SUPERAntispyware. Unfortunately I could not update either of these programs as the addresses seem to be blocked (as was the AVG update page, which along with the Google problems was one of the first indications of a Trojan). I'm not sure how to get round this. I will post the logs below before and after 'Fixing' but the problem with Google and updating still persists.

as of now AVG, Malaware, SUPERAnti and Spybot can not update. Google is still being redirected too.

can anyone suggest the next step?

thanks for all the help so far

Simon

Re: Google and Yahoo searches redirected to wrong pages
 

The HiJackThis program is still the old one. The version you need is HJT version 2.0.2
You need to TURN OFF the TeaTimer portion of SpyBot as it can interfere with fixes.
To disable Spybot's TeaTimer

* Run Spybot-S&D in Advanced Mode
* If it is not already set to do this, go to the Mode menu
select
Advanced Mode
* On the left hand side, click on Tools
* Then click on the Resident icon in the list
* Uncheck
Resident TeaTimer
and OK any prompts.
* Restart your computer
See if you can update MBA-M from here;
http://www.gt500.org/malwarebytes/database.jsp

Try these instructions and see if this file is there, if so, follow the instructions and then try updating all those again.
Open Device Manager and on the VIEW Tab, select the Show hidden devices option.
Go down to non plug and play drivers and see if there is one called TDSSserv and disable it.

When you post your logs we only need to see the FINAL logs not all of them. Just the ones which show fixes have been applied.
Uninstall that old HJT and use the newest version, it gives much more information.

Re: Google and Yahoo searches redirected to wrong pages
 

I cant see anything like that in the device manager when viewing the non plug n play devices

I ran the newest HijackThis and the log is below
