Hi, I recently had the displeasure of inadvertently installing a file sharing program going by the name of Zona.

It literally began installing at the same time I was downloading another file. When I realised what was happening I tried to stop it, but it was too late. Now Zona is parked all over my computer without a way to uninstall it. Now, it seems to have taken over my Google Chrome browser, directing me to some Russian home page.

I feel up to this point I've tried everything I can think of to remove Zona, but I'm not even close. Norton can't detect it, Malwarebytes can't, Adaware, and even it would seem Hijackthis can't detect it.

I'm not skilled by any means at coding or virus detection, so I hope someone here can perhaps dig deeper into this problem.

No problem...we'll get it fixed but we have to run the scans to do so.

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

Please download OTL from one of the links below:

http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTL.exe

http://www.itxassociates.com/OT-Tools/OTL.exe

http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTL.com (<---renamed version)

Save it to your desktop.

Double click on the icon on your desktop.

Click the Scan All Users checkbox.

Push the Quick Scan button.

The scan will take about 10 minutes...depends on your hard drive size.

Two reports will open, copy and paste them in a reply here: (or attach them as .txt files)

OTL.txt <-- Will be opened

Extra.txt <-- Will be minimized

Hi MrCharlie

Please find attached the log files from the OTL scan.

You might notice a program in the OTL.txt called 'Rambler'. This happens to be the Russian site that hijacked my homepage when Zona installed itself. I've managed to get my homepage back to normal, but it would seem by this OTL scan that it's still sitting in my computer somewhere.

Java™ 6 Update 31 <----please uninstall from add/remove programs

Java 7 Update 6 <----please uninstall from add/remove programs

Java 7 Update 9 <----OK

Adobe Reader 9 Adobe Reader out of Date! <----please check for an update

You have out dated programs on the system which are vulnerable to malware.

Please update or uninstall them

Info on doing that can be found in my Preventive Maintenance

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

A little clean up to do....

Please Uninstall ComboFix: (if you used it)

Press the Windows logo key + R to bring up the "run box"

Copy and paste next command in the field:

ComboFix /uninstall

Make sure there's a space between Combofix and /

cf2.jpg

Then hit enter.

This will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and clears System Restore cache and create new Restore point

(If that doesn't work.....you can simply rename ComboFix.exe to Uninstall.exe and double click it to complete the uninstall)

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

Please download OTL from one of the links below: (you may already have OTL on the system)

http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTL.exe

http://oldtimer.geekstogo.com/OTL.com

http://www.itxassoci...T-Tools/OTL.exe

Save it to your desktop.

Run OTL and hit the CleanUp button. (This will cleanup the tools and logs used including itself)

Any other programs or logs you can manually delete.

IE: RogueKiller.exe, RKreport.txt, RK_Quarantine folder, C:\FRST, etc....

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

Any questions...please post back.

If you think I've helped you, please leave a comment > click on my avatar picture > click Profile Feed.

Take a look at My Preventive Maintenance to avoid being infected again.

Good Luck and Thanks for using the forum, MrC
