Title: Only started yesterday, Red warnings on EVERY Google search I do.
Post by: Angethehippy on July 24, 2012, 12:08:05 AM
Please can you help.  As of yesterday, every time I try to go to my online banking I get a red warning box.  It says: 

Object:  http:// .../feed?req=http:%2F%2Fwww.google.co.uk%sFsearch%3Fh

Infection:  URL:Mal

Process:  C:\Windows\SysWOW64\rundll32.exe

I'm gonna change that first statement, EVERY search I do I'm getting the red warning pop up.


I've scanned in safe mode and no virus has been detected!  I'm very concerned and don't know what to do now....

Oh just discovered something, it only seems to happening when I use IE9 - opened Chrome, and no red pop-ups at all!


Thanks

Thank you very much for answering.  I'm sorry, I'm being a bit dense, where exactly am I attaching the Malwarebytes (got this) log please?

Actually, it's getting quite late, so I'll carry on with this in the morning.  Thank you,

I'm going to add to this, (I'm on a different laptop by the way)  Just opened IE9 on the offending laptop, clicked on ANY of my favourites and am taken to site without problem.  HOWEVER, when I click the HOME icon, I immediately get the red *warning* box...

Gone into panic mode now,  followed to the letter, the instructions on performing ComboFix - report was duly issued, have saved it. I'm typing this on my laptop, I tried to open IE9, got RED window

c:\Program Files (x86)Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe    Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion.

Then tried to run as you requested another aswMBR scan, and got this:

C:\Users\Petes-lsppy\Downloads\aswMBR.exe    Illegal operation attempted on a registry key that has been marked for deletion.

Clicked ok to both, then got:

It might have been moved, renamed or deleted.  Do you want to remove this item?    I clicked NO

HELP!!!!   Should it be doing this?  I can only seem to open images....

Please attach here Combofix.txt log and aswMBR.txt log if you have them.

Combofix deleted a couple of malicious files but beside that I do not see active malware. Do you still have red warning box?

You did not attach aswMBR.txt log. Download fresh copy of aswMBR.exe and run the tool:

OK magna, thanks.  File attached. Red warnings are NOT appearing in IE9 any longer however when I just tried navigating from this thread to the d/l a fresh copy of aswMBR.exe, |I got the *Explorer has stopped working* window.  It did this 3 times.  The first time it spontaneously closed. The other 2 times I clicked *no don't find a solution* (or whatever it was...)

You did well. ;) These logs I asked.
All logs are clean and there are no traces of malware.

It is necessary to uninstall Combofix


>Start ((http://fotkica.com/thumbs2/117539_tmb_191855275_Windows_Logo_key.gif))  >>  Run

Code: [Select]
Combofix /Uninstall
Enter

- Delete MBRCheck
- Delete aswMBR

Restart your computer. How is your computer behavior now?

Good morning Magna, OK Combofix in uninstalled. Neither MBRCheck or aswMBR are listed in control/programs and features.  Do I just delete them or drag and drop to the bin? I've tried the same way as with combofix - MBRCheck /Uninstall on the >Start ((http://fotkica.com/thumbs2/117539_tmb_191855275_Windows_Logo_key.gif))  >>  Run    , but that didn't work.

Hi,
Sorry to be a nuisance, could someone please tell me how I should uninstall MBRCheck and aswMBR?  They are not in my Programs and Features (in Control) list ?  IS it just a drag to bin job??

Thanks
