Hello all,

I would greatly appreciate some help. My computer has ground to a halt recently and has developed serious problems. INcluding attempts t redirect web pages to: clickcpixeladm.com and other redirects. Things really went to hell recently.

Hi Elise,

Thanks for your efforts to help me. First the problems I've been having on an older laptop with windows XP:

1) Everytime I do a google search Avast anti-virus tells me it has blocked a malicious url of clikpixelabn.com/wholebunch of gibberish

2) redirects from google search pages to sites that were not the ones clicked (this was mostly through internet explorer)

3) drastic slow down in the machine in general

4) disconnect and inability to reconnect wirelessly to my netwrk. THe only solution is to reboot and then things are ok for awhile, 30 to 45 minutes.

5) opera and chrome becoming so unstable and crashing so frequently as to be unusable. They had no problems before 3 weeks ago.

6) I had to post this from a different machine. The affected machine lost connection again after about 30 minutes. My attempts to post a reply got a "The cononection was reset" error everytime.

These are the main issues I can think of now.

I have another newer machine with windows 7 and none of these network issues are present there. The XP machine worked fine (if occassionaly moderately slow) up until a few weeks ago when a fake anti-virus pop got through. I thught regular Malewarebytes scans and Avast scans took care of it but the problems persist.

Now to the logs:

Hi Steve, unfortunately you have a nasty rootkit on board. Before starting the cleaning process, please read this information.

BACKDOOR WARNING

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

One or more of the identified infections is known to use a backdoor.

This allows hackers to remotely control your computer, steal critical system information and download and execute files.

I would advice you to disconnect this PC from the Internet immediately. If you do any banking or other financial transactions on the PC or if it should contain any other sensitive information, please get to a known clean computer and change all passwords where applicable, and it would be wise to contact those same financial institutions to apprise them of your situation.

Though the infection has been identified and can be killed, because of it's backdoor functionality, your PC is very likely compromised and there is no way to be sure your computer can ever again be trusted. Many experts in the security community believe that once infected with this type of trojan, the best course of action would be a reformat and reinstall of the OS. Please read these for more information:

How Do I Handle Possible Identify Theft, Internet Fraud and CC Fraud?

When Should I Format, How Should I Reinstall

We can still clean this machine but I can't guarantee that it will be 100% secure afterwards. Let me know what you decide to do. If you decide to go through with the cleanup, please proceed with the following steps.

COMBOFIX

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

Please download ComboFix from one of these locations:

Bleepingcomputer
ForoSpyware

Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools. (Click on this link to see a list of programs that should be disabled. The list is not all inclusive.)
Double click on Combofix.exe and follow the prompts.
As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware removal. It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.
Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, or if you are running Vista, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:

Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it shall produce a log for you. Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

Elise,

Well that sounds bad. I understand the unreliable nature of certifying the machine clear of malware and will consider the options recommended. For now I would like to try to clean the computer and see if that makes things better for now. As such I have run Combofix and the log is attached. There were a few unusual things doing it but I assume they were supposed to happen. It rebooted the computer but never shut down completely. I had to do a hard reboot to start back up. But eventually I got a log so:

Hello again, please let me know how things are running after the following steps.

CF-SCRIPT

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

We need to execute a CF-script.

Close any open browsers.
Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.
Click Start > Run and in the box that opens type notepad and press enter. Copy/paste the text in the codebox below into it:

DDS::
uInternet Settings,ProxyServer = http=127.0.0.1:5555

Save this as CFScript.txt, in the same location as ComboFix.exe

Refering to the picture above, drag CFScript into ComboFix.exe

When finished, it shall produce a log for you at C:\ComboFix.txt which I will require in your next reply.

Elise,

Well boot time went from "I'll come back later" to "wow!?" So that's good. I re-enabled avast and am no longer getting the message that CLikpixeladm.com is trying to redirect. I haven't been browsing with this computer so I'm not sure of any other performance issues. I haven't tried anything with it except to fix it. I've also been shutting it off between fix sessions to keep it off the internet until it was as safe as we could make it. Am I good to test it out and try using it in normal ways now? I'll leave it up and see if the network connection is lost and let you know.

After running the CFScript I got the log (and saved it to desk top) but lost my entire desktop. I had to use task manager to log off and back in and everything seemed ok.

Here is the latest log:
