Welcome to the forum.

Please remove any usb or external drives from the computer before you run this scan!

Please download and run RogueKiller to your desktop.

For Windows XP, double-click to start.

For Vista or Windows 7, do a right-click on the program, select Run as Administrator to start, & when prompted Allow to run.

Click Scan to scan the system.

When the scan completes > Close out the program > Don't Fix anything!

Don't run any other options, they're not all bad!!!!!!!

Post back the report which should be located on your desktop.

MrC

[holmesnmanny]

thanks for the response, here is the report

[MrCharlie]

What browsers are involved?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Run RogueKiller again and click Scan

When the scan completes > click on the Registry tab

Put a check next to all of these and uncheck the rest: (if found)

[bLACKLIST DLL] HKUS\S-1-5-19_Classes[...]\Run : CPN (rundll32.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\john1\Local Settings\Application Data\Downloaded Installations\CPN\tctbkj.dll",CreateInstance) -> FOUND

[bLACKLIST DLL] HKUS\S-1-5-20_Classes[...]\Run : CPN (rundll32.exe "C:\Documents and Settings\john1\Local Settings\Application Data\Downloaded Installations\CPN\tctbkj.dll",CreateInstance) -> FOUND

Now click Delete on the right hand column under Options

I had only browsed with Firefox so I don't know if it was doing it with any other browser however I just tried to duplicate the issue before scanning and IE wasn't doing it, however I tried to get it to do it with Firefox and it wasn't do it right now.

But I did the scan again as you said, and it did come up with those two keys you showed. I clicked delete and it got rid of them. I will see if it does it again over the next day or so and if so I will report back. I know you said to uncheck any others, and I did, however there was one other line that it came up with, is it safe to assume that that other line is not an issue ?

thanks again for the help, I will be donating

[MrCharlie]

is it safe to assume that that other line is not an issue ?

Yes

We're not done yet, I was just trying to establish what browsers are involved.

Please download GooredFix from one of the locations below and save it to your Desktop

http://jpshortstuff....m/GooredFix.exe

http://downloads.sec...m/GooredFix.exe

Ensure all Firefox windows are closed.

To run the tool, double-click it (XP), or right-click and select Run As Administrator (Vista & W7).

When prompted to run the scan, click Yes.

Reboot and post the log, MrC

[holmesnmanny]

I'm not sure if the Goored scan is doing anything. This is the log that came up. I have used this before, a little while back i think.

One thing to note is that my eset is showing an alert that says something about a recent dns poisoning cache attack.

[holmesnmanny]

It says "Detected DNS cache poisoning attack remote IP address 192.168.2.1

One thing to note is that my eset is showing an alert that says something about a recent dns poisoning cache attack.

Didn't see that in the RogueKiller report.

Lets run some scans....

Please read the directions carefully so you don't end up deleting something that is good!!

Please download and run TDSSKiller to your desktop as outlined below:

Doubleclick on TDSSKiller.exe to run the application, then click on Change parameters.

For Windows XP, double-click to start.

For Vista or Windows 7, do a right-click on the program, select Run as Administrator to start, & when prompted Allow to run.

-------------------------

Check the boxes beside Verify Driver Digital Signature and Detect TDLFS file system, then click OK.

------------------------

Click the Start Scan button.

-----------------------

If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue

If you get the warning about a file UnsignedFile.Multi.Generic or LockedFile.Multi.Generic please choose

Skip and click on Continue

----------------------

If malicious objects are found, they will show in the Scan results and offer three (3) options.

Ensure Cure is selected, then click Continue => Reboot now to finish the cleaning process.

Note: If Cure is not available, please choose Skip instead, do not choose Delete unless instructed.

--------------------

A report will be created in your root directory, (usually C:\ folder) in the form of "TDSSKiller.[Version]_[Date]_[Time]_log.txt". Please copy and paste its contents on your next reply.

Sometimes these logs can be very large, in that case please attach it or zip it up and attach it.

Here's a summary of what to do if you would like to print it out:

If a suspicious object is detected, the default action will be Skip, click on Continue

It says this almost any time I click on a link from a search results and now even when I'm not doing searches. It's coming up from my new ESET 5.2.9.1 smart security I installed.

[holmesnmanny]

Ok, so I did the scan and it found about 15 suspicious objects but none had the option of "curing" so I hit continue and didn't delete them. After hitting continue, it went back to the option to Start scan so I guess it didn't do anything.

TDSSKiller.2.8.8.0_24.08.2012_14.02.01_log.txt

[holmesnmanny]

It says "Detected DNS cache poisoning attack remote IP address 192.168.2.1

[MrCharlie]

are you on a network? MrC

[holmesnmanny]

Ya, I guess. I'm using a wireless router. Do you think that error message is a mistake ? I can't replicate any of the search redirects.

[MrCharlie]

It says "Detected DNS cache poisoning attack remote IP address 192.168.2.1

This is your network.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While we're checking lets run one more scan.......

Please download and run ComboFix.

The most important things to remember when running it is to disable all your malware programs and run Combofix from your desktop.

Please visit this webpage for download links, and instructions for running ComboFix

http://www.bleepingc...to-use-combofix

Ensure you have disabled all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

Information on disabling your malware programs can be found Here.

Make sure you run ComboFix from your desktop.

Give it at least 30-45 minutes to finish if needed.

Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply for further review.

---------->NOTE<----------

If you get the message Illegal operation attempted on registry key that has been marked for deletion after you run ComboFix....please reboot the computer, this should resolve the problem. You may have to do this several times if needed.

MrC

[holmesnmanny]

I actually ran combofix just prior to asking for help as it did resolve an issue I had a couple years ago and it turned up nothing but Im going to run it again at your request.

thanks again

[holmesnmanny]

here is the log

ComboFix.txt

[MrCharlie]

Looks like you ran them all.............

See how it is, MrC

[holmesnmanny]
