PC help needed - malware - got the bugger!

glad somebody is getting sorted with this

just done a reinstall on my netbook from the recovery partition and it's still on here...

What kind of reinstall was it? Some only do a repair install, some have an option to do a complete wipe of your Windows partition (what you want ideally), have a look at the options again.

further to this, I have trawled the internet and finally found someone who is experiencing the same problems as me...

So far the problem hasn't been soled but it saves me having to try things if they don't work lol

The new window pop up has now manifested itself on my phone so I'm wondering if they are heading in the right direction with looking at the router itself. I will be taking my netbook (which is also suffering from this) to my parents on Weds so I can hop on their router and see if anything happens as I had no problems at the weekend on my phone while using their internet.

go to your network connection
click on it.
Highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
Click properties.

The IP and DNS should be automatic? if youve got numbers in there, that maybe your problem.

I may be talking out my ass but that what happened to me, i found the file in a hijack this log, it was actually called DNS something with an address after it which was handy. it can be disguised as a legit file though.

have you scanned with malware bytes in safemode?

Turn off your restore point, restart in safe mode with networking (allows you online)

Install and run ccleaner....Update malware bytes and scan....

Would be surprised if it ran clean at the latest database in safemode...

I got a virus on my laptop yesterday.....and this process fixed it

Hope you get sorted....

Will give that a go in a mo cheers mate

[Jay]

MBAM should be run in normal mode as it operates 'better' and has a higher rate of detection, unless the malware infection is stopping it from running


Repair Internet Explorer
Then SmitFraudFix
Then SAS the f@cker
Remove MBAM, reinstall, update the database and rescan again.

If you still get sh!t happening:
Use ComboFix get the log from C:\Comofix.txt and paste it here

I'm not trying to be funny, but theirs lots of these types of threads on this Forum, and many other Forums where people are tearing their hair out, trying to deal with these futile issues, I've been there too many times before, learnt my lesson. and vowed never to buy Microsoft based products ever again, I hope you get it sorted asap... I would have put it in the bin by now

Sometimes it's best to keep quiet and just realise there are people out there who view far, far nastier p0rn than you.
