System Security malware - blocking access to Malwarebytes.org

[KRWehmeyer]

I was sent a link via Facebook that McAfee Security Center flagged as a Koobface worm, but it didn't appear to catch all of it. My browser has now been hijacked - attempts to go to MalwareBytes.org blocks the access, redirects it to an ad, or redirects it to a site that looks like a Virus Scanner (I believe it was called System Security).

I also cannot update Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and I'm not sure if McAfee is working either. I installed MBAM and the latest updates i could find, but when it runs now it doesn't find anything.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Keith

Hi Keith and welcome to the forums. Sorry for the delay in getting to your post.

Download DDS and save it to your desktop from here or here or here.

Disable any script blocker, and then double click dds.scr to run the tool.

• When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
  1. DDS.txt
     
  2. Attach.txt
     

  [*]Save both reports to your desktop. Post them back to your topic.
