Okay heres my new problem of the week! :)

When I use google to search for stuff, you know you get your nice page of search result links.

Well when i click on a link, I get transported to some sales website. Like monster shopping.. :(

Some kinda malware i guess.. Where would I find the file that does this.

I am downloading adaware now! ;)
 
depends on what it is,just use adaware and maybe spybot if that doesnt work.Then cc shredder and avg antivirus with new update if that fails.

If that lot of free stuff dont get it then nothing will.

Get hijack this for free and post up the results for all to see and find the bugger.

run hijack again and check the 2 css services and windows messenger lines (if you dont use the crap)and try see.

Nope nothing happened.. I still get the gay thingy! :(

This is the site that redicrects me.. 81.201.104.136
 
well you need to run a up to date virus scanner,whatever youve got.Youve got a known problem on your puter thats a sod to get rid of.AVG is the last easy way before it gets more complicated.
 
Tox

You're right, the stuff in bold is abnormal. You've had your DNS IP addresses hijacted by malware, probably to a rogue Russian DNS server.

I'll look for the fix for you.

p.s. what was it you were saying the other day about not needing a virus scanner? :) - sorry. couldn't resist.

:cool:

Damn it Tox, I was hoping you wouldn't come online! :D

Anywho, yeah im in trouble now! All help is uber needed!

Nice to see you Tox matey.. You are the clever cloggs of the forum when it come to Virus stuff.
 
looks like its the alg.exe as youve not got ms firewall running it shouldnt really be running,its a trojan theres bucketloads on the net about it.avg shouild find it though.Get firefox and zone alarm after this.
 
yep - it's a DNS Changer trojan.

Download Superantispyware (freeware version) from here and AVG free Antispyware from here. Install both. Disable System Restore and then reboot into Safe mode and run a full scan of both. Post back results.

Hopefully they'll get it. Once you done that you'll need to reconfigure your DNS settings. Let me know if you need help with that.

:cool:

TOG

btw - you have HJT in a temp directory. You need to extract it to its own directory (eg. create C:\Program Files\HJT and extract to there. Otherwise it won't allow you to fix and backup\recover if you end up deleting the wrong entries.
 
This one seems like a good fix.

Hello and welcome to the forum:) You have been hijacked by folks in the Ukraine see this: http://www.whois.sc/85.255.114.108

It will take a little work to get rid of them, and the instructions must be followed carefully to be successful.

1) Move HJT from the Desktop for safety. I prefer C:\HJT\HijackThis.exe, if you need additional instructions use these: http://russelltexas.com/malware/createhjtfolder.htm

Thanks to LonnyRJones and any others who helped with this fix.

2) 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://swandog46.geekstogo.com/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.

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

Finally, please post a fresh HijackThis log, along with the contents of the logfile C:\fixwareout\report.txt (hold the logs until the end please)

Now lets check some settings on your system.

(2000/XP) Only

In the windows control panel. If you are using Windows XP's Category View, select the Network and Internet Connections category otherwise double click on Network Connections. Then right click on your default connection, usually local area connection for cable and dsl, and left click on properties. Click the Networking tab. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS servers automatically

Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks.

That option might not be avaiable on some systems

Next Go start run type cmd and hit OK

type

ipconfig /flushdns

then hit enter, type exit hit enter

(that space between g and / is needed)

(Spyware Doctor may block the fix we must make, turn it off until you are done)

(some lines may be gone, do not be concerned, just do not miss any)

3) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

O1 - Hosts: localhost 127.0.0.1

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

Enable hidden files&folders..reverse the process when finished.

http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

You will need to search for the location of this item: SysCheck32.exe

RIGHT Click on Start then click on Explore. Locate and delete these items:

SysCheck32.exe >>> file

C:\Windows\Prefetch\ >>> delete the contents (NOT THE FOLDER)

Prefetch info: http://www.windowsnetworking.com/articles_tutorials/Gaining-Speed-Empty-Prefetch-XP.html

Download CCleaner from this link: http://www.ccleaner.com/ Review the instructions http://www.ccleaner.com/help/tour1.asp

Run CCleaner, Windows & Applications when you run the registry cleaner (Issues) you will be prompted to backup before you can remove stuff, make sure you do.

Restart the computer and post the C:\fixwareout\report.txt, a new HJT log and any comments you think will help. We will have more to do.

Thanks...pskelley

Safer Networking Forums

You deffinately will want to flush the dns cache

ipconfig /flushdns
 
I will try Tox's idea first as it is the quickest, then the rest!

Thanks for the support so far dudes! :worship:
 
I know the two freeware apps I linked to do clean trojan.dns.changer so you should be ok. If they don't suggest you take up equk's suggestion to run fixwareout next. If you have to get that far post the fixwareout report log on here.

:cool:
