IE update virus

Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

It seems my parents have somehow gotten a virus.  They said there were prompts to purchase something to remove all threats.  I've seen this kind of virus before.  It almost crippled any form of browsing with malware, pop-ups and prompts to purchase something to remove threats.  A friend of the family removed the programs that were downloaded to their computer but I knew that wasn't the end of it so I did a MBAM scan and removed over 100 PUPs and 2 trojans if not mistaken.  Still not convinced it's over though so I decided to do a FRBR scan and submit to my favorite malware fighting website :).  I'm posting the attachments as they are way too long.

 

Also to note, google chrome starts up with astromenda.com now so I know that has to do with the infection.  None of the symptoms have been showing up since we deleted files and scanned but still... Too, I think it installed the ASK toolbar on which I know is also no good.  I won't delete anything else at the moment until I receive instructions to do so.

 

Thanks,

Keith

Sorry again for the delay.  This time I forgot my new password and then I wasn't allowed to create a new one for some odd reason.  I'm able to get on now.  I did do the scan but I'm not at my parents house.  I'll try to have my sister email it to me.  If not then I'll take care of it when I get off work.

 

Also, how do you turn off an Xfinity modem?  I didn't see an off button anywhere.  Should I just unplug it instead, or is there another way?

Hello Keith, 

 

Please do the following. 

 

STEP 1
KOtu1Ft.png Router Reset
 
Consult Router Passwords to find out what default username and password for your brand of router and make a note of that for future reference. Alternatively, your may find the username/password written on the base of your router. If neither options are applicable, please contact the manufacturer of your router. 

Reset Router to Factory Default Settings:

  • Typically a reset can be done by inserting something tiny like a paper clip end or pencil tip into a small hole labeled "reset" located on the back of the router.
  • Press and hold down the small button inside until the lights on the front of the router blink off and then on again (usually about 30 seconds)
  • In order to get to the router's server, type http:\\192.168.1.1 in the address bar and click Enter. You should see the log in window.
  • Fill in the password you have already found and you will get the configuration page.
  • Configure the router to allow you to connect to your ISP server. In some routers it is done by a setup wizard.
  • If you do not have a setup wizard you have to fill in the log in password your ISP has initially given to you. You can also call your ISP if you don't have your initial password.
  • Don't forget to change the routers default password and set a stronger, more complex password. Note down the password and keep it somewhere for future reference.
     

Please make sure of the following settings on your computer:

  • Click StartControl panel, then double-click Network and Sharing Center.
  • In the left window select Manage Network Connection.
  • In the right window right-click Local Area Connection and select Properties .
  • Internet Protocol Version 6 (IP6v) should be checked. Double-click on it. Make sure of the following settings:
  • The option Obtain an IP address automatically should be checked.
  • The option Obtain DNS server address automatically should be checked.
  • Click OK.
  • Internet Protocol Version 4 (IP4v) should be checked. Double-click on it.
  • The option Obtain an IP address automatically should be checked.
  • The option Obtain DNS server address automatically should be checked.
  • Click OK twice.
  • If you need to change any of these settings you will need to reboot your computer.
     

STEP 2
rzqZvBe.png MiniToolBox

  • Please download MiniToolBox and save the file to your Desktop.
  • Close any open windows.
  • Right-Click MiniToolBox.exe and select Run as administrator to run the programme.
  • Check the following items:
    • njvAG80.png
    • 6N6QY9z.png
    • zmWTIXg.png
    • VAFn5gg.png
    • AtULTyM.png
    • kLju9nY.png
    • chxHkm0.png
  • Click GO.
  • A log (Result.txt) will be created on your Desktop. Copy the contents of the log and paste in your next reply.
     

STEP 3
xlK5Hdb.png Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (FRST) Scan

  • Right-Click FRST.exe and select Run as administrator to run the programme.
  • Click Yes to the disclaimer.
  • Ensure the Addition.txt box is checked.
  • Click the Scan button and let the programme run.
  • Upon completion, click OK, then OK on the Addition.txt pop up screen.
  • Two logs (FRST.txt & Addition.txt) will now be open on your Desktop. Copy the contents of both logs and paste in your next reply. 
     

======================================================
 
STEP 4
