Browser Hijacker

itrich · August 1, 2012

I have a browser hijacker that redirects from search results. I have updated and run Malwarebytes, deleted all that it found with no luck and attempted a system restore but that keeps failing. Below is the hijackthis log.

Hi and welcome to Malwarebytes.

Please update MBAM, run a Quick Scan, and post its log.

Next, download DDS by sUBs and save it to your Desktop.

Double-click on the DDS icon and let the scan run. When it has run two logs will be produced, please post only DDS.txt directly into your reply.

I tried to run DDS, let it go for 15 minutes, it seemed to start its process but never finished and locked up the computer.

itrich · August 2, 2012

Same result the second time I ran DDS after restarting.

Hi,

Run this instead please:

Download RSIT by random/random and save it to your Desktop.

Double click RSIT.exe to start the tool and click Continue at the disclaimer.
When the scan completes it will open a log named log.txt maximized, and a log named info.txt minimized.
Please post the contents of both logs here in your next reply.
