Title: Browser Redirecting
Post by: normz on March 26, 2010, 10:08:00 AM

Hello.

Everytime I go to a site associated with an antivirus program ie microsoft security essentials, avast, spybot ect. My browser will redirect me to a fake av site.

I have tried a number of things INCLUDING the following to no avail

Spybot
Malwarebytes
Ad-Aware
Hijackthis
Panda Cloud AV
Avast (Boot time Scan)
ATF Cleaner
CCleaner
Superantispyware
Microsoft Security Essentials
Avira


Nothing I run will detect this problem and I am feeling a bit discouraged as I do not want to have to reformat the computer any assistance would be greatly appreciated on this matter

Edit: 12:16
OS on this computer Vista
Updated list of used programs

Please download ComboFix (http://img7.imageshack.us/img7/4930/combofix.gif) from BleepingComputer.com (http://download.bleepingcomputer.com/sUBs/ComboFix.exe)

Alternate link: GeeksToGo.com (http://subs.geekstogo.com/ComboFix.exe)

Rename ComboFix.exe to commy.exe before you save it 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 A guide to do this can be found here (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic114351.html)
Click Start then copy paste the following command into the search box & hit enter: "%userprofile%\desktop\commy.exe" /stepdel
As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. This will not install in Vista. Just continue scanning, and skip the console install.
When finished, it shall produce a log for you.  Please include the contents of C:\ComboFix.txt in your next reply.

If you have problems with ComboFix usage, see  How to use ComboFix (http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/combofix/how-to-use-combofix)
