Another victim of svchost.exe*32 trojan, redirect issues, other nastyness!

[graciela]

So I've been experiencing the same sort of Google search redirect issues that many people have been posting about recently. This is something I noticed after I installed a Firefox update recently. Something went crazy with the update and Firefox was not opening / crashing repeatedly so I uninstalled it completely. This is my secondary computer so I wasn't using it too often - the next time I booted up, my computer was missing a bunch of icons that were on my desktop before (now I can only see them if I modify folder options to view hidden folders/operating system files).

Computer is reporting HDD errors, Catalyst Control Center failure, errors on Boot and other CRAZINESS so I did a system restore. My anti-virus was somehow deleted and Windows Defender repeatedly disabled. System Restore didn't help so I installed AVG Free followed the procedure I saw in someone else's HijackThis Log that I had found in a google search on "svchost.exe*32". Problems still abound so now I'm back at the beginning.

This is what I did before I read the "I'm infected..." sticky and saw what I was ACTUALLY supposed to do:

-Downloaded, installed and updated Malwarebytes and performed a Quick Scan.

-Ran TDSSkiller.exe

-Temporarily disabled AVG and ran ComboFix

Starting over, I redid an updated Malwarebytes Quick Scan and ddr.scr scan.

UGH Sorry for making this harder! Can post any/all previous logs requested.

Please HELP!!

Logs will be closed if you haven't replied within 3 days

Please don't attach the scans / logs for these tools, use "copy/paste".

DO NOT use any TOOLS such as Combofix or HijackThis fixes without supervision.

Doing so could make your pc inoperatible and could require a full reinstall of your OS, losing all your programs and data.

Please run a new MBAM scan being sure to update before scanning.

Post the scan results

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Please don't attach the scans / logs, use "copy/paste".

Thanks so much for responding!

My computer is basically acting the same except the search engine result/redirect issues that seemed to be linked to the svchost.exe*32 process have stopped. All other issues I described in the original post remain.

I realize (now..) that I shouldn't have ran the other programs/procedure that I found in someone else's hijackthis log; sorry to complicate things :/ Just wanted to note - all the problems that I've mentioned started occuring prior to running any of those tools.

I will only be able to help with any infections.

For the hard drive errors, etc., you need to start a new topic in our PC Help forum.

Delete the combofix you have now.

Please do not attach the scan results from Combofx. Use copy/paste.

Vista and Windows 7 users:

1. These tools MUST be run from the executable. (.exe) every time you run them

2. With Admin Rights (Right click, choose "Run as Administrator")

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Link 1

Link 2 If using this link, Right Click and select Save As.

* IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop

• Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. Note: If you are having difficulty properly disabling your protective programs, or are unsure as to what programs need to be disabled, please refer to the information available through this link : Protective Programs
  
• Double click on ComboFix.exe & follow the prompts.
  Notes: Combofix will run without the Recovery Console installed. Skip the Recovery Console part if you're running Vista or Windows 7.
  Note: If you have XP SP3, use the XP SP2 package.
  If Vista or Windows 7, skip the Recovery Console part
  
• As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
  
• Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.
  

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt using Copy / Paste in your next reply.

Notes:

1.Do not mouse-click Combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.

2. ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making I-E the default browser.

3. Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CD, floppy and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security. If this is an issue or makes it difficult for you -- please tell your helper.

4. CF disconnects your machine from the internet. The connection is automatically restored before CF completes its run. If CF runs into difficulty and terminates prematurely, the connection can be manually restored by restarting your machine.

Give it atleast 20-30 minutes to finish if needed.

Please do not attach the scan results from Combofx. Use copy/paste.

Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.
