Is Google broken?

[madkayaker]

he's gone off line might meen the PC is in the flower bed

 

[Omniata]

I hope not, just got "teamviewer" set up to get remote access and flush the viri out

 

[madkayaker]

you have the control

 

[Omniata]

Nah I need him to run it too I thought I had a bad one until I realised it was a screwed up windows update stopping all the other ones working....

 

[Omniata]

Doesn't look good

 

[irondarren]

Nasty little brute is it?

 

[Omniata]

By the looks of things....

Does anyone have a phone number for him? I'll give him a call tomorrow...

This sounds like a clever browser hijacker trojan.

I have had a browser hijacker twice and both times i failed to remove it satisfactorily and had to reformat completely.

As an ironic aside, I only started having problems when i downloaded Spybot and AVG.

Just relaying my experiences but trying the removal tools is a wise move to start.

 

[Omniata]

Hope he doesn't break it, you can usually fix these things even if it is awkward as hell

 

[madkayaker]

could be bad i think might need welding back together

I think it's out the window lads.

[simon718]

Sit Rep:

Warren - Yours installed, ran for an hour, found 8 of them trojan jobbies, shot them dead, and a few other bits that sounded nasty. Finished, turned everything off and on - Tested it with google and its still redirecting to crap spam **** sites.

Jim - Thought i'd give yours a go then - Similarly to the others, i think the virus is stopping it connecting to the internet, so it won't download/open.

The windows open, i've had enough, it's going out now. I am very good at fixing things that can be seen, and with tools. Things like this annoy me.

Any other ideas?!

I've got the full download and "teamviewer", I can remote access your pc tomoz evening if you want and "transplant" it in and run it if you want to give it a try...

I admire your perseverance Paul! I'd have given up long ago and taken Snowy's advice. Diesel if you're safety conscious, petrol if you want to liven things up a bit!

 

[Welderpaul]

Thanks for all your help lads, it's making my head hurt and i've got to be up at 5, so i'm off to bed - to be resumed later.

Thanks again - all your help is much appreciated.

My new bird is proud of you all. Infact she's made us all a brew look. Good lass.

My desktop was acting up last summer so I got antispyware which has a scanner on the first scan it got enough trojans defeat the Greeks and probably take over the world
but it doesn't stop them coming in but puts them in jail when I scan

I had this exact same prob recently. Its MalWare.

ComboFix sorted it for me and SuperAntiSpyWare both free on the internet to download. Fixed in about 20 mins. dont forget to get a decent free anti virus program.
