Google virus, NOT redirect virus. PLEASE HELP!
« on: July 12, 2011, 08:35:21 PM »
Ok, I am really angry. This has been going on for a week now, Avast, get your **** together  >:(.
As you can see, when ever I search something in google, images or text it shows up as a virus, and on images some pictures dont load.
I know this cannot but a real virus, but is this a real virus?
Why is this happening?
Someone tell me how to fix this, or I'm going to stop using avast.

Lower left corner: Additional Options > Attach ( Malwarebytes log / OTS log ) save OTS log as ANSI

Essexboy will look at the logs when posted....

Yes but Avast is said to be the best free anti-virus out there!
Or am I wrong?
False marketing !?

the bad guys have access to the same AV tools you have, and they test there new malware before they release it, so AV companys will always be one step behind. And if lucky, you are the first one to meet this new malware  ;)

Currently I am working on systems using - to name a few, ESET, Trend, Norton, AVG, Kaspersky and CA all infected

The majority of infections are via social engineering, where you are tricked into running the malware

I believe you have an MBR type infection

Download ComboFix from one of these locations:


Link 1
Link 2


* 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.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you.  Please include the C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

THEN

Download aswMBR.exe ( 1.8mb ) to your desktop.
 
Double click the aswMBR.exe to run it
 
Click the "Scan" button to start scan
 
 
On completion of the scan click save log, save it to your desktop and post in your next reply

They will be removed once we have finished with it, I will not leave them on your system

Could I have the aswMBR next.  As to how you got it I have no idea as there are no evident files showing in the log
