    Browser Redirecting
    « 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

    OS on this computer Vista
    Updated list of used programs

        The only thing that was able to detect it was

        Trend Micro Housecall


        in safemode.



        hopefully someone else will stumble apon this thread and get some help by it.

        Please download ComboFix from BleepingComputer.com

        Alternate link: GeeksToGo.com

        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
        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
