malware or what?

foreign_correspondent

Hello, just been looking at the malware removal thread and am posting as per the instructions from the dwayne dibley lookalikey! - aliEnRIK - (thanks)

The problems I have been having have been getting re-directed to advertising sites when I click on links from google searches, IE crashing, I installed firefox and have the same problems, also everything is running very slowly. Kaspersky is not picking this up. Any advice gratefully appreciated!!!

ok, just downloaded and ran malware bites

Is Kaspersky upto date?

Tick to FIX these using hijack~
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings,ProxyOverride = *.local
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {02478D38-C3F9-4efb-9B51-7695ECA05670} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7E853D72-626A-48EC-A868-BA8D5E23E045} - (no file)

Please run COMBOFIX
Follow the simple instructions it gives
Post the COMPLETE log it creates here (Split into sections if need be)

If it comes up with a RENAMING error then RIGHT click the exe file and RENAME and call it QWERTY (Making the complete file name 'QWERTY.exe')

Thankyou aliEnRIK - please bear with me, I am a techno thickie...

When you ask if Kaspersky is up to date, I have Kaspersky Anti Virus 6.0 for windows workstations, signatures date: 16/04/09 - is this ok?

When you say:

do you mean I should open the log, tick those then click FIX?

I would re run Malwarebytes, BUT first I would update it as you are some 50 definitions out the current set is 1995.

You should open hijack and scan again THEN tick them and click to FIX them

But Reluctants right ~ please UPDATE Malwarebytes and scan again

okaaay - I think I understand - I will try thanks.

right, I just opened malwarebytes and asked it to check for updates and it said I have the latest version available

Browntoa

it should be version 1954

download the update file from here

http://www.gt500.org/malwarebytes/database.jsp

and run the mbam-rules.exe file when its downloaded

then open malwarebytes again and scan
