    HELP!! I have been trying to battle this dirty MFer all day long!--> called fantastigames #462 - it is redirecting my chrome browser. Im new and cannot post links yet unfortunately.

    I am pretty damn tech savvy and cannot get this jackass off this PC! I regularly troll the afterdawn forums for help and damnit, Im posting because I am flat out stumped on this one. I am always careful where I go on the internet and must have picked this up from a email I think. At any rate, I have tried and used SuperAntiVirus, Spybot S&D, Malwarebytes, Ad-Aware, Windows Defender and CCleaner already, all up to date and full scanned completed. Each has found little crumbs here and there, but cannot remove this browser hijacker. Finally decided to snag HJT and post the log below. Any help would truly be appreciated! Thanks!

    Forum would not let me post HJT log "as-is", as there were web links in the IE section. I deleted them out just so could post but all pointed to a healthy web addy.

    I saw this program in another thread, but have not tried it until someone responded something to my question. I will try it tomorrow morning as a different PC (work) is the infected one. Thanks.

    Well... I tried rogue killer as suggested, it did find about 5 or 6 files, deleted out. Rebooted and opened chrome, hijacker is still there. Booted in safe mode with no networking and re-ran all full scans (except ad-aware - wouldnt "validate activation") and all scans showed nothing, even rogue killer came up empty a second time. Any other suggestions?

    Try this one and see if it does any good.This is the Pro version that is good for 30 days.If it doesn't help you can always uninstall it.

    Tried it and no help at all.

    *EDIT*
    GOT IT!!! There was an additional option in chrome settings to force chrome to open a set page upon start up that was bringing up the recurring redirect. After deleting that option and removing the additional options for the redirect for home button and search engine, I finally can close the browser and re-open without the redirect happening.

    Thanks much for the previous help and suggestions.

    Sorry I didn't see this thread sooner. The problem is Datamngr and IEBHO.dll it's a backdoor Trojan and shows up in this line in HJT:

    O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\PROGRA~3\Wincert\WIN32C~1.DLL C:\PROGRA~2\SETTIN~1\Datamngr\datamngr.dll C:\PROGRA~2\SETTIN~1\Datamngr\IEBHO.dll

    Hope you were able to delete the IEBHO.dll file - it can come back to haunt you and it will steal info from your computer..
