I got infected with rogue anti-malware software that kept giving fake warnings and also tried uninstalling AVG. I ran an AVG scan, which found several infections, and rebooted. The software is gone but now I'm getting redirected on firefox like crazy and AVG and Malwarebytes will not start up. HijackThis still works and I was able to get a log: Logfile of Trend Micro HijackThis v2.0.2 Scan saved at 2:40:44 AM, on 1/7/2010 Platform: Windows XP SP2 (WinNT 5.01.2600) MSIE: Internet Explorer v7.00 (7.00.6000.16915) Boot mode: Normal Running processes: C:\WINDOWS\System32\smss.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\savedump.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\svchost.exe C:\Program Files\AVG\AVG8\avgrsx.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\spoolsv.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\bin\AppleMobileDeviceService.exe C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE C:\WINDOWS\ehome\ehtray.exe C:\Program Files\Synaptics\SynTP\SynTPEnh.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\WLTRAY.exe C:\PROGRA~1\AVG\AVG8\avgtray.exe C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office12\GrooveMonitor.exe C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe C:\Program Files\iTunes\iTunesHelper.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jusched.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\hkcmd.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\igfxpers.exe C:\Program Files\SigmaTel\C-Major Audio\WDM\stsystra.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\ctfmon.exe C:\Program Files\Messenger\msmsgs.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\igfxsrvc.exe C:\Program Files\Digital Line Detect\DLG.exe C:\Program Files\Bonjour\mDNSResponder.exe C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehRecvr.exe C:\WINDOWS\eHome\ehSched.exe C:\Program Files\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\mbam.exe C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin\jqs.exe C:\WINDOWS\System32\WLTRYSVC.EXE C:\WINDOWS\System32\bcmwltry.exe C:\Program Files\iPod\bin\iPodService.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\dllhost.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32\wuauclt.exe C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe C:\Program Files\Trend Micro\HijackThis\HijackThis.exe R0 -

Thanks.
can also try system restore to before the problem. latest version of avg is version 9. try running spybot search & destroy.
Hi I don't know how to read the logs, but I have a very effective process for removing Malware/Virus. If the below programs do not load change their .exe file name (not the shortcut)to something like iexplorer.exe and they will work fine. Do not run more than one spyware/malware program at once (they might conflict) you may also have to disable you Anti Virus temperarly to scan with them. Most effective in the following order: 1. Malware bytes: http://www.malwarebytes.org/mbam-download.php 2. ComboFix: http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe 3. SDFix: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/sdfix.php 4. SmitfraudFix: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/resources/link243.html 5. SpyBot Search and Destroy: http://www.spybotupdates.com/files/spybotsd162.exe Also ensure you have the newest version of java as some of the old one's have vulnerabilities. Other things to consider if you don’t already do them a third part firewall, as windows firewall only block incoming traffic, if you are infected you want something like ZoneAlarm which will block outgoing traffic also. Please ensure Windows Firewall is switched off if you install a third party firewall. Install firefox browser 3.5 only (very resistant to getting compromised) Install returnil (free version) can beused instead of antispyware software, when enabled it seperates the hard drive from the internet, no known/unknown virus/spyware will defeat this software. Another program more powerful than returnil (cannot be installed together) is comodo time machine (freeware). You can installed this on a clean computer and it will make a baseline snapshot. Before you go on the internet you can create a new snapshot (takes 3 seconds), if you run into problems/malware just restore your computer to this snapshot. It's similar to windows system restore but much more powerful especially against bad drivers/software/malware. http://www.brighthub.com/computing/smb-s...iews/61309.aspx Finally use a free imaging software (macrium reflect) to make an image backup of your c: drive while it's clean. Worst case scenario you can restore your computer to a like new windows condition without spending hours reinstalling windows. I hope this helps.
