Browser Hijacker I can't get rid of
« on: January 28, 2017, 02:31:11 AM »
Is there any way to get RogueKiller to scan external drives?  I believe I have a redirect/hijack virus on an external drive but nothing can find it, started out with a mellowsurvey ad in Chrome & it comes up in Firefox too now.  I have reinstalled Windows 7 prof, and it came back; then I reformatted then reinstalled Windows 7 prof and it came back again, but it didn't come back until I hooked up my external drives.  The only malware program that could find anything on my computer was RogueKiller, so I bought it.  But now it says my computer is clean, but I'm still getting redirects, and they are getting more obnoxious.  I need the photos off those 2 drives, and don't know how to do that without copying the virus also.  Thoughts?  Suggestions please?

This is the last scan that found anything (well, except the one that found & killed zemana).

Hi lkbart,

Make sure to plug all your possibly infected external drives.
Please download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool (x64) and save it to your Desktop.
  • Right click to run as administrator (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File). When the tool opens click Yes to disclaimer.
  • Press Scan button.
  • It will produce a log called FRST.txt in the same directory the tool is run from.
  • Please attach log back here.
  • The first time the tool is run it generates another log (Addition.txt - also located in the same directory as FRST.exe). Please also attach that along with the FRST.txt into your reply.
Regards.

Hi lkbart,

I don't see anything malicious on the reports.
Are you experiencing browsers hijacking behaviours at this time ?

Regards.

At this point in time, no, I'm not.  I have not reinstalled Chrome - that's where the attacks began, but continued in Firefox.  We have put a site block in the router on mellowsurvey and engine.spotcenered.info, and got a blocked site pop-up (wanting the password to the router - ha!). Then a while later the browser tab I was reading got hijacked to the below screenshot - and I unplugged the machine.  I ran Roguekiller right after that & it didn't find anything.  So I'm not comfortable that it's completely gone.

H lkbart,

Since no infection is detected, there is little I can do.
What I suggest is to wait if it appears again.

Regards.

Hi lkbart,

The reports are clean again.
Does this only happen with Firefox ?

It started on Chrome, but I uninstalled it along with all the personal data, and then reinstalled Chrome and the virus came back, so I uninstalled it again and have not reinstalled after I formatted and reinstalled Windows 7 prof.  Been using Firefox since then.

Hi lkbart,

That's really strange.
Could you please give Malwarebytes Adwcleaner a try ?

Downloaded, ran, didn't find anything.  Attached the log file.  This is crazy.
