Read this first

• When Google detects that a computer on your network may be sending automated traffic to Google we may show the following message: "Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network." Automated queries are against our Terms of Service.
• The error page most likely displays a CAPTCHA (a squiggly word with a box below it). To continue using Google, type the squiggly word into the box -- it's how we know you're a human, not a robot.

I have run and updated malware and says nothing is infected, any help much appreciated, thanks.

See if anything's obvious on Hijackthis. Save this to your desktop, then hold LEFT SHIFT and RIGHT CLICK on it, then Run As Administrator or Run As (current user), then do SYSTEM SCAN and SAVE LOG, don't fix anything, post the log that comes up in notepad.

Might be pointless though if you are botted. Did you say you don't see the "captcha" thing to type the squiggly?

Try SAS portable. You can save time and do a custom scan, and get it to scan only Memory, Registry, Startup locations, and custom folder, and point it directly at the c:\windows\system32 folder.

Try the Microsoft Malicious Software Tool, but you'll have to know if your OS is 32bit or 64bit. If you RIGHT CLICK on 'My Computer' then do properties, you'll get the System information and it'll say in there. Similarly when you run the Microsoft scanner, you can save some time and just point it to scan the c:\Windows folder:
64bit:

32bit:

Hitmanpro is relatively quick, again you have to pick 32bit or 64bit:

Dr Web is another that might be effective: https://www.freedrweb.com/download+cureit/gr/?lng=en I would do the default 'express scan' first, and only the full scan afterwards as a cleanup if you found anything.

Lastly, Combofix, but you'll have to carefully read the instructions on how to use it, and post a log for Alienrik to read:

I'm not saying that you should only scan the system folder, just that doing full scans can be pointless and time consuming until you break the main nasty. After one of them gets a detection from the system files, clean that and then start doing some full scans. Preferably you would mount the hard drive offline and get another computer to run the scan.

hi, i did all the stuff from the other thread i started and think you were waiting on alienrik? to have a look at the log i posted, thanks

RussJK

Oh okay, thought they were for different computers.

In the end I didn't ask Alienrik to look at it, as given that it was a new computer you'd be better off reinstalling it for many reasons.

There are a whole bunch of folders I would check out manually though (in c:\users\maryg43\AppData\Local\).

How did you get it without an antivirus? IIRC it was from your dad? Did he use it without an antivirus, or did he wipe it and reinstall ready for you?
