Search results get redirected in IE8 & FF￿

Yes, I did try that and it was the same.

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{72416BE3-010B-4335-98B4-2FDF03EA1C20}: NameServer = 68.87.73.242,68.87.71.226


Are those your name servers?  Check your dns tcp-ip configuration.

Please remove the following.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {761497BB-D6F0-462C-B6EB-D4DAF1D92D43} - (no file)

aktharchowdhury - those are my name servers

Try scanning that system with this live cd:(hopefully it detects and removes the "dns changer")
Kaspersky live cd http://devbuilds.kaspersky-labs.com/devbuilds/RescueDisk/

--It is in iso/image format so you will have to burn it to a cd.
--Once the cd is created, boot the infected machine to that cd and scan your system
NB-Update the virus database in live cd before scanning.



Also, do you have your installation media?
If so you may have to do a repair installation afterwards, depending on what infected files are removed:

I removed the following, but it is still doing it. I removed them, rebooted, ran CCleaner and it is still doing it.

Optoma - I am burning the ISO and scanning now

OK, the Kapersky boot scan found nothing. Not really sure what to do next. I am posting an updated HijackThis log. I have removed some apps to 'unclutter' it. If there are any other log files or scans I can do just let me know.

Do your browsers have any proxy servers set? (tools, internet options, connections tab, lan settings button)

check the hosts file at c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

No proxy servers and my hosts file is clean.

Can you power down and unplug that machine and the router for ten minutes.
Reboot all and see if redirection happens

Powering down. I will let you know shortly. I am on a network and none of the other PC's have been affected but I will try anyways.

OK, I powered down, unplugged everything and it is still the same.

Ok
Could you run autoruns (dont make any changes within autoruns)
Autoruns http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx

Within Autoruns,select the file tab and select save(Ctrl+S)
Upload that file(autoruns.arn) to http://www.ee-stuff.com/Expert/Upload/upload.php

If we cant see anything in autoruns, we acn  try and get other experts in to review:)

OK, plan Q.  Open up task manager and internet explorer, start killing tasks as you check the browser for redirects - maybe you'll hit the process that's causing it.

Plan R.  rebuild the system and call it a day.  You'll probably spend less time on it at this point.

OK, I have uploaded my autoruns.arn file

Searched for it there and nothing yet.
Attach it here. Rename it to autoruns.arn.txt or autoruns.txt to upload here

OK, trying again. It should be attached here.

Thanks Wellzy, got that but nothing dodgy showing up :(
When the browsers are redirected what kinda sites are you ending up with?

Here is the ComboFix log. I will run the GMER Rootkit Scanner and post next.

---- EOF - GMER 1.0.15 ----

OK, now I have a question. Does the GMER Rootkit Scanner automatically remove unwanted items? The reason I ask is because my search results are no longer being redirected. I have been trying to get it to happen for half hour or so, but it appears to be fixed and I am trying to figure out exactly what fixed it.

I am doubting that ComboFix fixed it because I had run it two previous times. Anyway, I will keep trying it today and let you know if it starts redirecting again. If it stays clean I will post back tonight (and award points).

Thanks again for all your help.

Thanks for the log.

<<<"Does the GMER Rootkit Scanner automatically remove unwanted items? The reason I ask is because my search results are no longer being redirected.">>>

No. Gmer doesn't automatically remove any threats found.
Combofix must've fixed the redirects.. see line below from Combofix log. Recent nasties patched atapi.sys and also caused redirects.

<<<<Infected copy of c:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\atapi.sys was found and disinfected >>>

That's what I thought.Well, glad it is finally fixed. I had already run Combofix 2-3 times before I posted my problem on EE.

Thanks for all the help! This thread can be closed.

No problem... though you fixed it yourself, well done...
When you're done with Combofix, please uninstall it.  Uninstallation will delete its backups, reset System Restore and creates one restore point.

 To uninstall Combofix:
Go to Start > Run and 'copy and paste' next command in the field:

ComboFix /u

Thanks!

Already uninstalled  :p

In fact, I downloaded so many programs to scan, etc I've spent the morning uninstalling most of them.

I know it is irrelevant, but just so you know I got this spyware from one of those fake video posts on my Facebook wall. Apparently a friends FB had been hijacked.

If you want to uninstall Gmer and need guidance let me know.

Thanks for the info on how your pc got infected.
Yes, since last year Myspace/Facebook had been targetted by malicious hackers and infecting many systems.
