Notification Server Error

[devmike]

Hey guys,

I have been having problems for the past few days with something new and undeniably annoying. I have been receiving connection errors to ALL websites as

"Notification Server Error

Error Code: (404)

occurred whiles accessing site."

It initially started as a redirection to other websites that I was on previously, sun.java.com was the first one, and when I tried my IE explorer with no luck it proceeded to redirect my firefox to the Microsoft update page as i have it set as my start page for IE. On firefox i was capable of clicking the gmail notification and check my email, it fails now, formerly I was able to refresh multiple times on IE to get it to connect to pages but it has hence stopped working all together. The internet works, I have tried running Eset, updated SpyBot, CCleaner, and ComboFix with no luck..

I guess I will un/reinstall firefox but it does not to seem to be the problem to me, as it is probably a malware infecting my TCIP or some area close..

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I have never experienced anything like this that I was unable to fix by surfing the web for a few moments before.

Thanks

[devmike]

I will post the MBRAM log and HijackThis just as soon as they are done with their business.

Thanks

[devmike]

I think that it may be a rootkit problem, checking out RootAlyzer, shall keep people updated on the process.

[devmike]

Seems like that the problem was with some oddity in the settings that I had, just conveniently started to botch the intranet, luckily it was not a nasty rootkit as i has suspected..

thanks for the fooorum help, lol

Sorry for the Delay Mike but site is busy and only so many helpers.

Please visit this webpage for instructions for downloading ComboFix to your

DESKTOP

:

how-to-use-combofix

Please ensure you read this guide carefully and install the Recovery Console first.

NOTE!!:

You must save and run

ComboFix.exe

on your DESKTOP and not from any other folder.

Also,

DO NOT

click the mouse or launch any other applications while this is running or it may stall the program

Additional links to download the tool:

ComboFix.exe

ComboFix.exe

ComboFix.exe

Note:

The

Windows Recovery Console

will allow you to boot up into a special recovery (repair) mode. This allows us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware. It is a simple procedure that will only take a few moments of your time.

Once installed, you should see a blue screen prompt that says:

The Recovery Console was successfully installed.

Please continue as follows:

• Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
• Click
  Yes
  to allow ComboFix to continue scanning for malware.
  
  
• When the tool is finished, it will produce a report for you.
  
  
• Please post the
  C:\ComboFix.txt
  along with a
  new HijackThis log
  so we may continue cleaning the system.
