Re: Browser redirects[thread moved]
Happy to help

Let me know if you are still being redirected.

-- Looks to me as though you tried to clean this (or another infection) before posting here? Another typically infected file is missing....


Please do the following:

1) Click START > RUN > type cmd ENTER
At the command prompt, type ipconfig /flushdns and hit ENTER
-- Note there is a space between g <space> /

2) With the command prompt still open, type:
copy c:\windows\system32\dllcache\eventlog.dll c:\windows\system32\ and hit ENTER
You should get a message stating "1 file<s> copied."
-- Note there are spaces between copy <space> c:\ and .dll <space> c:\

3) Please Download ATF-Cleaner.exe by Atribune to the Desktop.
-- Click on ATF-Cleaner to run it
-- Where it says Select Files To Delete, Check the Select All Option
-- Click Empty Selected > OK

If you use Firefox browser, do this also:
  • Click Firefox at the top and choose Select All from the list.
  • Click the Empty Selected button.
  • NOTE : If you would like to keep your saved passwords, click No at the prompt.
If you use Opera browser, do this also:
  • Click Opera at the top and choose Select All from the list.
  • Click the Empty Selected button.
  • NOTE : If you would like to keep your saved passwords, click No at the prompt.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Let me know how things are working and we can wrap this up.

Cheers
PP

I do not know - This is the first time I've heard of that. I use ATFCleaner a lot and have never had an issue with Firefox.
Have a look at this thread: ATFCleaner and Firefox
Does that help?


Since the redirect is gone. let's remove Combofix and the files/folders it created:

-- First, change the name of Combofix back to Combofix.exe

• Click Start > Run
• Type or Copy&Paste Combofix /u into the Run box. (Be sure there is a space between the x and the / if you type it)
• Click OK

This will remove Combofix and it’s components from your machine.
It will also reset your clock, re-hide System and Hidden Files and hide File Extensions.
Last, but certainly not least, doing this will reset System Restore.

-- Let me know if you are still having problems with Firefox and we'll see what we can do.
