  • I am going to assume that that file is still present;

    Download ComboFix from one of these locations:

    Link 1
    Link 2
    Link 3

    * IMPORTANT !!! Save ComboFix.exe to your Desktop


    • Disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware applications, usually via a right click on the System Tray icon. They may otherwise interfere with our tools

    • Double click on ComboFix.exe & 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, 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.

  • Is this your preferred search engine when using Firefox - searchonthego.net.

    That run removed this file too - c:\program files\AntiMalwarePro\AntiMalwarePro.exe

    I will look through the look properly when I return home this evening.

    How's things running at the moment?

    Honestly? My pc feels quite a bit faster and firefox is more stable; also those internet security pop ups have stopped. those are the most obvious changes.

    Firefox would crash regularly, but hasnt crashed this morning (touch wood).

    Firefox is my chosen browser and google my chosen search engine.

    I am still getting a few pop ups regarding "yoog", but its a small pain for the improvement.

    I have symantec anti virus running 2/8/2010 rev. 2. I notice an exclamation mark over the icon in the tray.

    Which virus link, can you give details?

    Run Malwarebytes again but update it first.
  • As suggested above run malwarebytes - update it first and then run;

    Please download GooredFix and save it to your Desktop.
    • Double-click GooredFix.exe on your Desktop to run it.
    • Select "2. Fix Goored" by typing 2 and pressing Enter.
    • Make sure all instances of Firefox are closed at this point.
    • Type y at the prompt and press Enter again.
    • A log will open, please post the contents of that log in your next reply (it can also be found on your desktop, called GooredLog.txt).
    Note: If you receive a message saying that GooredFix needs your system to be restarted, please close all applications and reboot your system. Please also allow any registry changes that may be prompted by any of your security programs.
