Hi,

I use google for doing regular online search. But i am having trouble opening any website or information link google finds for me. If i try to open any link that google finds, the webpage automatically gets directed to other search sites like lycos, ebay and few other search engines i haven't heard about. I have adaware, spybot, CCleaner and Norton antivirus. I run them regularly. But they generally dont find anything.

I dont know if i have any spyware sitting inside my computer or anything else.

i will appreciate your advice on this
Thanks

try using xoftspy and get the serial key from theserials.com
i dont recommend going to theserials.com unless you have norton or are using a mozilla firefox browser because if you use internet explorer it will automaticly download some nasty adware

Adi,

Download HijackThis (current verison is v1.99.1)

or here (Alternate 1, a self-extracting zip file)
or here (Alternate 2, an *.exe file)

Make a new folder to put your HijackThis.exe into.

(Anywhere on your hard drive is fine other than your Desktop or the Temp folder. Suitable examples are:

  • C:\HijackThis\
  • C:\Programs\hijackthis\
  • C:\Windows\My Documents\HJT\

but feel free to use any name.)

Extract and save the HijackThis download to the new folder you made. Then navigate to it and run HijackThis from there. (This is to ensure it makes the necessary backups for recovery if fixes are made) Then, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and click Scan.

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button. Press that and copy & paste its contents in your reply. Most of what it lists will be harmless or even essential, don't try to fix anything yourself.

Thanks.

kylethedarkn - please don't advise victims to illegaly cheat the system by using pre-used serial keys. Don't cheat the companys that help us in our fight agaisnt malware. Secondly, don't advise victims to visit sites where they are likely to further burden down their computer with more spyware.

Thanks.

jhay116,

Thanks for your quick reply. Here is the scan log file created by hijackthis.
The whole problem started when i tried to download mozilla firefox browser from their website. I removed the browser but the problem continued.

Pl. advice.
Thanks

Hmm about the Firefox, I don't think it was the FireFox itself that caused the problem, unless it was downloaded from a 3rd party, that might have included other software.

First off, you have a WareOut infection.

You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, then make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish. The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

When your system reboots, follow the prompts. Afterwards, HijackThis will launch. Please click Scan, and check the following items:

Click Fix Checked. Close HijackThis, and click OK to proceed.

At the end of the fix, you may need to restart your computer again.
