Question

How do I locate the cause of a redirect and delete it?

Asked by: JCtheWizard

I've been dealing with an malware assault of which I may be the winner; the only item left is a recurring redirect in IE 6 that is pointing to http://jl.chura.pl/rc/ and giving me an

HTTP 404 - File not found
Internet Explorer

I have not been able to find whatever is calling up the site.

My question is how do I locate the cause of the redirect and delete it?

Background:

While deleting other malware I ran HijackThis - and the redirect (as a url) is not present.

EDIT: i have included a HJT Report at the end of the background.

Searching around I found that .pl is not listed as a mainstream domain, nor can you buy a url with the domain .pl.  Looking further I found this site:
http://www.robtex.com/dns/zief.pl.html

I do not understand exactly what the purpose of the site is  it does have notices of blacklisted domains and appears to host questionable web sites of many domains  perhaps it has something to do with dns, however, they have this to say about themselves:

"zief.pl is a domain controlled by two nameservers at zief.pl themselves. They are on different IP networks. Incoming mail for zief.pl is handled by one mailserver also at zief.pl. zief.pl has one IP record. irc.zief.pl, ns2.zief.pl, ns1.zief.pl, www.zief.pl, dns2.zief.pl and at least five other hosts are subdomains to this hostname. pl is a domain controlled by eight nameservers at pl themselves. All of them are on different IP networks."

I thought the part  "at least five other hosts are subdomains to this hostname. pl is a domain controlled by eight nameservers at pl themselves. All of them are on different IP networks" indicated the domain could be a sub-domain, so I attempted to go directly to http://www.zief.pl and AVG Gave me this:

Certainly would appear that someone from this site is connected with the redirect that IE continues trying to open. (http://jl.chura.pl/rc/)

The site lists the whois info  but, I really don't want to go down that rabbit hole . .

I just want to get it off the computer.

My question is how do I locate the cause of the redirect and delete it?

check your c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file for any redirects and remove them..

then if thats clean run regedt32 and search entire registry for "chura" and you'll find it somewhere relating to your homepage etc.. clean that out and you'll be free of that issue at least..

Looks like a DNS hijacker , as well as a possible W32.Virut.h infection , the reason I am mentioning Virut is the site  hxxp://jl.chura.pl/rc/

http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_143034.htm

https://www.symantec.com/en/uk/security_response/writeup.jsp?docid=2007-041017-3301-99&tabid=3

 O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{39F64795-BCAB-4D85-9621-CBD2B1868C36}: NameServer = 208.67.222.222,208.67.222.220

if this is not your name server, then Combofix should solve this

other tools that will certainly help in this issue.

Malwarebytes Anti-malware

SuperAntispyware

SDfix (run in safe mode, option 2 will fix DNS hijack, option 1 is general scan)

Combofix

download the files from a clean machine if possible, rename them first & transfer to the infected machines.

If the issue persists, and there is indeed a W32.Virut.h infection, please run your scans in safe mode, also be prepared to either reinstall any applications that gets corrupt, or resinstall your OS if a lot of damage was done, the reason this is a possibility is because this particular virus can detroy executables beyond repair in some cases.

the key with cleaning Viruses is to run the scan in safe mode and be prepared to either restore from backup if needed or reinstall any applications that are damaged.

First off  I apologize for not getting back sooner; actually I did split points earlier and for some reason the question is still here.  I also wrote a detailed explanation which I do not have a copy of, so here is my best recall.

PsychoFelix  your was the first to be attempted.  I did find the url (http://jl.chura.pl/rc/) in the directory: c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts, and in that process I learned about files without extensions  that was very interesting.

However, after removing those files the problem persisted (at least within my machine) in that EVERY html file in all of my web sites was appended with the instruction to go to that url.

I cleared out all the BHOs that were not obviously a problem and then had to get back to work on a late project.

Next I worked on Admin3ks instruction.  After reading about virut on the two supplied links I purchased and ran malwarebytes as well as SuperAntiVirus (from dos) and this found both Trojans and malware.  Some of them were in the Windows Restore folders  and by turning off restore points they were finally gone from the system.

The info on virut certainly had me concerned if I would win this one.

I ran a global search and replace for all html files on my web site folders to remove the redirect  over 1,800 occurrences!  And while this did work (which I am grateful) the bad part is that ALL the file dates were changed to the modification date, so it is now harder to determine the files history.

Thanks you both for your information.
