PCTech Forums

Hi
My pc started running very slow and we also had problems with searching in firefox. As soon as you click on a website you are taken to another site. Very frustrating.
I have AVG free edition but have also downloaded Malwarebytes, SpyNoMore and CCleaner. They all find different things and I sometimes get clean results but as soon as I try searching for something I'm back to getting transferred to other sites like YouTube, Ebay etc.
I have enclose AVG scan result, cannot seem to get rid of the trojan's. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

sallan29,

Please download to your desktop.

Double click combofix.exe and follow the prompts.

If you are using AVG you might need to uninstall AVG to get Combofix to run.

If combofix will not start or is ended before the "Blue window" please rename combofix.exe to cbf.exe and try again.

If cbf.exe will not start or is ended, you will have to run cbf.exe from safe mode.
Reboot in to Safe mode:
Restart Windows after you see the BIOS screen and before Windows starts to load.
Start tapping the F8 key. The Windows Advanced Options Menu appears.
Use the Arrow key to ensure that the Safe Mode option is selected.
Press Enter. The computer then begins to start in Safe mode.

Do not exit Combofix while it is running you my loose all your personal settings!
Important Note - Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it's running, that may cause it to stall.

When it's done running it will produce a log for you. Please post that log in your next reply.

I clicked on combofix and saved the file, once in download folder I double clicked on the icon to run the program but keep getting the same message saying;
You appear to have a corrupt download. Please download a fresh copy of ComboFix.exe
You can close combofix by clicking on the right corner of the progress bar.

Have tried downloading a few times with the same results, also uninstalled AVG

sallan29,

Try the below link to download combofix from another location ;
http://www.combofix.org/downloadlink.php

After a lot of attempts to access the combofix website (keep getting redirected to a variety of other sites) I followed the instructions for download with the same results.

Same result from your link too!

I have downloaded the latest version and uploaded it to this site. See if you can download it from us.

downloads/ComboFix.exe

Managed to download this link, it did detect an AVG scanner running even though I uninstalled through add and remove programs. It did continue and found something in the root and needed a restart, continued to scan and Completed Stage -50
Preparing Log Report, this took quite a while to do log at C:/combofix.txt
Exception box pops up 'generic host process for win32' do i want to send error report to windows didn't have time to note the rest of the details before a dark blue screen pops up with a warning saying 'A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer BAD_POOL_HEADER
If this is the first time you've seen this error, restart pc if screen appears again follow these steps:
CHeck to make sure any new hardware or software is installed properly, if problem continues, disable bios memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use safe mode etc,etc.
Technical information:
***STOP: 0x00000019 (0x00000020,0x08578FB80,0x8578FF98,0x1A830001)
Beginning to dump physical memory
Physical memory dump complete
Contact your system administrator or technical support for further assistance.
Restarted pc as normal but got the desktop screen with no icons did ctrl alt and delete, windows task manager show 17 processes running think normally about 40
restarted again in safe mode, clicked on my computer to look for the log but timer symbol comes up but nothing happening, can't access my docs, my pics, my music though can get on the Internet just not on the pages I want, getting transferred to other sites worse than ever.
Please help!
Any help as to what I should try now, would be appreciated.

sallan29,

I need to see the combofix log.

If you can not access the combofix log then try running combofix again.

Uninstalled AVG to do the scan log but now seem to be bombed with XP Home Security 2011 - UnRegistered Version, it keeps popping up on the pc when i switch it on and seems to find loads of infections then want me to pay to remove them. If I do nothing they still keep popping over the top of everything, driving me nuts. New pages on the internet keep opening by themselves, when I am typing this, do you have any sugestions on what is the best type of protection to download? Did the log show anything unusual or should I try and run it again?

Tried this twice got auto scan stage 1-50 okay, deleting files then the dark blue screen pops up with a warning saying 'A problem has been detected and windows has shut down to prevent damage to your computer BAD_POOL_CALLER
If this is the first time you've seen this error etc, etc.
Tried again in Safe Mode, managed to get the log. You also asked for a HijackThis log, where do I get this??

sallan29,

Sorry about the Hijackthis reference, it's part of a "canned reply" that I overlooked.

You combofix log looks clean, so how is it running now?

Let's see if we can get the details of the BAD_POOL error.
Go to Start > Control panel > Administrative tools > Event viewer > look in the system section.

You are looking for any red or yellow icons, double click on the icon.
Click inside the 'Description' section then highlight the text and copy and paste it into notepad.
At the bottom of the event window check 'words' and then copy and paste that text also
Then past it all into your reply to this thread.

If you don't show any errors in the event viewer then:
Go to Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced tab > Startup and Recovery section
Settings button > System Failure section > check the box 'Write an event to the system log'

PC still not working great, following info as requested.
I really appreciate you time and assistance.

System 2,533 event(s) 113 Yellow warnings 351 Red Errors

Many of the following messages are repeated multiple times, I have had to
copy them manually as the copy/paste facility wouldn't work.
The messages date back to 20/04/11. Let me know if you need more info
as I have probably missed some.
