I recently seemed to have some kind of infection: I have McAfee & somehow still got a trojan or something that was redirecting my internet to wherever it wanted. I kept having to change my LAN settings (unchecked the proxy box). I ran a McAfee scan & it found nothing. But I kept getting a McAfee pop-up in the corner that told me that it detected & removed DNSChanger.fa!. I decided to download MBAM and I ran a quick scan & then a full scan. The quick scan found 7 infected files:

So I removed the infections using MBAM and then thought everything would be great. But now I keep getting all these pop-ups from both MBAM and McAfee. MBAM is saying that it has blocked access to a potentially malicious website & McAfee states that it has detected and removed the DNSChanger.fa!

These two different pop-ups usually happen at the exact same time.

Here is (some, because it is quite long) of the MBAM log for the pop-ups:

00:19:57 Heather IP-BLOCK 109.236.81.172 (Type: incoming, Port: 25700, Process: svchost.exe)

So it is a good mix of incoming and outgoing and the process is always svchost and there are all different ports, it seems. It is all the same IP MOSTLY, but occaisionally I will get this IP show up:

89.28.113.221

My internet seems fine, it isn't redirecting me anymore.

Another wierd thing is that McAfee says my firewall is ON, but when I click on the setting for the firewall it says it is off, and so I click "Turn On" and it won't some on, it just stays at OFF. But when I go back to the main McAfee screen (or whatever, the screen where it gives me a little summary of all my protections) it says on. So is it on or off???

PLEASE HELP!!!

& Thanks So Much!!

Hello and Welcome to Malwarebytes

If you think you are infected, here are the steps needed to get your computer cleaned....

Please read the following so that you can begin the cleaning process:

You have 3 Options that you can choose from as listed below:

  • Option 1 —— Free Expert advice in the Malware Removal Forum
  • Option 2 —— Paying customer -- Contact Support via email
  • Option 3 —— Premium, Fee-Based Support

OPTION 1

As we don't deal with malware removal in the
General Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware Forum
, you need to start a topic in the
Malware Removal forum
so a qualified helper can help you fix any malware related problems/infections you may have.

  • Please read and follow the
    directions here
    , skipping any steps you are unable to complete. Then post a
    NEW topic here
    .

  • After posting your new post, make sure under
    options
    , you select
    Track this topic
    and choose
    Immediate Email Notification
    , so that you're alerted when someone has replied to your post.

  • One of the
    expert helpers
    there will give you one-on-one assistance when one becomes available.

  • Please refrain from making any further changes to your computer such as (Install/Uninstall programs, use special fix tools, delete files, edit the registry, etc...) unless advised by a malware removal helper. Doing so can result in system changes which may hinder the attempts by a helper to clean your machine.

NOTE:

Please DO NOT post back to (bump) your topic within the first 48 hours.

Replying to your own posts changes the post count and helpers are looking for topics with zero replies. If you reply to your own post helpers may think that you're already being helped and thus overlook your post.
    • If there is no reply from any experts after 48 hours, you can reply to the topic, asking for help again.

      Or

    • You may send a Private Message to a Moderator asking for assistance.

OPTION 2

support@malwarebytes.org
