Chrome Extension EXXEcheckeR 4.1

[raeldk]

Hi

 

My Chrome browser is being hijacked. I am getting multiple tabs opening forcing me to http://search.snapdo.com/ with an ad in a small block below the search text block (changing it automatically from Google.com) and my Malwarebytes app is popping up all the time after opening Chrome, blocking me being taken to malicious sites. I have tried un-installing Chrome, deleting folders, running ccleaner and then reinstalling and again I get this same issue.

 

This is the only extension in my browser besides Skype, Google Docs and BitDefender Wallet.

 

I had this extension in Mozilla Firefox but I could click on remove, but I am prohibited to do this in Chrome saying that it is installed by Enterprise Policy.

 

I did find DiVapton on my PC and have removed this.

 

I did a full scan with Malwarebytes and whilst it found 25 instances of PUP, I went through and deleted them all.

 

I am amazed that all online searching on the word EXXEcheckeR comes up blank.

 

All help will be appreciated.

 

Thanks

Double click OTM.exe to start the tool. Vista or Windows 7 users accepy UAC alert. Be aware all processes will be stopped during run, also Desktop will disappear, this will be put back on completion.... If your security alerts to OTM either, accept the alert or turn off security until OTM completes...

Hi Kevin

 

All three apps run and log files attached (first three files attached). To answer your last question (thanks BTW), I was running M'soft Security Essentials which I have now replaced with BitDefender and Malwarebytes Pro.

 

My computer is running much slower than before. For example, opening Outlook (we have a company Exchange server) takes very much longer and also most times when doing a restart the PC now sits there saying Logging Off and nothing more happens until I power it down manually. This never used to happen.

 

As I have run a full scan using Bitdefender after installing it and Malwarebytes Pro I have taken the liberty of including the previous log files of these scans too, in case they shed some more light for you.

 

Many thanks

The OTM log shows that the script was not copied correctly into the text field, it was copied in one line, not as I posted in my reply, can you re-do OTM...

Hi Kevin,

 

I have done it all properly this time around and log files attached. I never deleted anything in RogueKiller when it prompted me upon closing it.

 

Thanks once again

Not much to see there, run the following:

 

Delete any versions of Combofix that you may have on your Desktop, download a fresh copy from the following link :-

 

http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe

 

• Ensure that Combofix is saved directly to the Desktop <--- Very important
   
  
• Disable all security programs as they will have a negative effect on Combofix, instructions available here  http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html if required. Be aware the list may not have all programs listed, if you need more help please ask.
   
  
• Close any open browsers and any other programs you might have running
   
  
• Double click the icon to run the tool (Vista or Windows 7 users right click and select "Run as Administrator)
   
  
• Instructions for running Combofix available here http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix if required.
   
  
• If you are using windows XP It might display a pop up saying that "Recovery console is not installed, do you want to install?" Please select yes & let it download the files it needs to do this. Once the recovery console is installed Combofix will then offer to scan for malware. Select continue or yes.
   
  
• When finished, it will produce a report for you. Please post the "C:\ComboFix.txt" for further review
  

 

****Note: Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running. That may cause it to stall or freeze ****

 

Note: ComboFix may reset a number of Internet Explorer's settings, including making it the default browser.

Note: Combofix prevents autorun of ALL CDs, floppies and USB devices to assist with malware removal & increase security. If this is an issue or makes it difficult for you -- please tell us when you reply. Read here  http://thespykiller.co.uk/index.php?page=20 why  disabling autoruns is recommended.

 

*EXTRA NOTES*

• 
  

    If Combofix detects any Rootkit/Bootkit activity on your system it will give a warning and prompt for a reboot, you must allow it to do so.
    If Combofix reboot's due to a rootkit, the screen may stay black for several minutes on reboot, this is normal
    If after running Combofix you receive any type of warning message about registry key's being listed for deletion when trying to open certain items, reboot the system and this will fix the issue (Those items will not be deleted)

 

Post the log in next reply please...
