Gadgetbox removal from homepage

[tymeris]

Hey, about a week ago i noticed my videos skipping which they never did before. At the same time, my google chrome home page went to this gadgetbox search engine, which i'm somewhat sure it is some type of malware, spyware, virus, etc. I'm thinking it is all related and have been trying to get rid of it, but having difficulties. Went through your removal steps and the logs are attached. I appreciate you taken the time to look over this for me.

thanks

Hello and welcome to Computer Hope Forum. My name is Dave. I will be helping you out with your particular problem on your computer.

1. I will be working on your Malware issues. This may or may not solve other issues you have with your machine.
2. The fixes are specific to your problem and should only be used for this issue on this machine.
3. If you don't know or understand something, please don't hesitate to ask.
4. Please DO NOT run any other tools or scans while I am helping you.
5. It is important that you reply to this thread. Do not start a new topic.
6. Your security programs may give warnings for some of the tools I will ask you to use. Be assured, any links I give are safe.
7. Absence of symptoms does not mean that everything is clear.

If you can't access the internet with your infected computer you will have to download and transfer any programs to the computer you're using now and transfer them to the infected computer with a CD-RW or a USB storage device. I prefer a CD because a storage device can get infected. If you use a storage device hold the shift key down while inserting the USB storage device for about 10 secs. You will also have to transfer the logs you receive back to the good computer using the same method until we can get the computer back on-line.

Update Your Java (JRE)

Old versions of Java have vulnerabilities that malware can use to infect your system.

First Verify your Java Version

If there are any other version(s) installed then update now.

Get the new version (if needed)

If your version is out of date install the newest version of the Sun Java Runtime Environment.

Note: UNCHECK any pre-checked toolbar and/or software offered with the Java update. The pre-checked toolbars/software are not part of the Java update.

Be sure to close ALL open web browsers before starting the installation.

Remove any old versions

1. Download JavaRa and unzip the file to your Desktop.
2. Open JavaRA.exe and choose Remove Older Versions
3. Once complete exit JavaRA.

Additional Note: The Java Quick Starter (JQS.exe) adds a service to improve the initial startup time of Java applets and applications. To disable the JQS service if you don't want to use it, go to Start > Control Panel > Java > Advanced > Miscellaneous and uncheck the box for Java Quick Starter. Click OK and reboot your computer.

Update your Adobe Reader. get.adobe.com/reader.

Be sure to uncheck the Free McAfee Security Scan so it isn't installed.

Download Combofix from any of the links below, and save it to your DESKTOP. 

Link 1

To prevent your anti-virus application interfering with  ComboFix we need to disable it. See here for a tutorial regarding how to do so if you are unsure.

• Close any open windows and double click ComboFix.exe to run it.
  
  You will see the following image:
  

Click I Agree to start the program.

ComboFix will then extract the necessary files and you will see this:



As part of it's process, ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed. With malware infections being as they are today, it's strongly recommended to  have this pre-installed on your machine before doing any malware  removal. This will not occur in Windows Vista and 7

It will allow you to boot up into a special recovery/repair  mode that will allow us to more easily help you should your computer  have a problem after an attempted removal of malware.

If you did not have it installed, you will see the prompt below. Choose YES.



Follow the prompts to allow ComboFix to download and install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console, and when prompted, agree to the End-User License Agreement to install the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console.

**Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will continue it's malware removal procedures.

Once the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed using ComboFix, you should see the following message:



Click on Yes, to continue scanning for malware.

When finished, it will produce a report for you. Please post the contents of the log (C:\ComboFix.txt).

Leave your computer alone while ComboFix is running. ComboFix will restart your computer if malware is found; allow it to do so.

Note: Please Do NOT mouseclick combofix's window while its running because it may cause it to stall.

but gadget box search comes up for my homepage instead of google chrome.

Do you mean that your homepage has been changed to something else?
Could you give me a screenprint of the gadget box?

The first thing that comes up when I click on my google chrome shortcut is my homepage as this gadgetbox search engine. Another problem im having is when watching videos, they are fine in normal screen, but when I expand them they become distorted and begin to skip? What brought me to computer hope in the first place, but after chat with someone on this site came to conclusion it most likely was all related.

The first thing that comes up when I click on my google chrome shortcut is my homepage as this gadgetbox search engine.

If your homepage has been changed you can change it back to whatever you prefer. In your browser select Tools, Internet options and you can change your home page there. Just browse to the homepage you want and do the above.

I'd like to scan your machine with ESET OnlineScan

•Hold down Control and click on the following link to open ESET OnlineScan in a new window.
ESET OnlineScan
•Click the button.
•For alternate browsers only: (Microsoft Internet Explorer users can skip these steps)

• Click on to download the ESET Smart Installer. Save it to your desktop.
  
• Double click on the icon on your desktop.
  

•Check
•Click the button.
•Accept any security warnings from your browser.
•Check
•Push the Start button.
•ESET will then download updates for itself, install itself, and begin scanning your computer. Please be patient as this can take some time.
•When the scan completes, push
•Push , and save the file to your desktop using a unique name, such as ESETScan. Include the contents of this report in your next reply.
•Push the button.
•Push
A log file will be saved here: C:\Program Files\ESET\ESET Online Scanner\log.txt

I got the gadget box search engine off by doing what you said. My concern is how it became my homepage in the first place, but if that is all i needed to do then thank you. Now if you could help me with my video problem it would be greatly appreciated.

My concern is how it became my homepage in the first place, but if that is all i needed to do then thank you.

Every site wants to be your homepage. I could have been an infection or just something that you downloaded. A lot of "free stuff" is not really free if they hijack your homepage or want to install their toolbar. You have to be wary of that.

Now if you could help me with my video problem it would be greatly appreciated.

How much free space do you have on your harddrive? Click on "my Computer, right-click on the C drive and select Properties" and you should see the free space listed there. Also, please tell me the capacity of the harddrive.

[tymeris]

57.9 GB free space, and 74.4 GB capacity

[SuperDave]

I would say that your computer is clean but I really can't figure out why you're having problems with the videos. Let's take a look at what's running.

Download Process Explorer: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx
Unzip ProcessExplorer.zip, and double click on procexp.exe to run the program.
Click on View > Select Colunms.
In addition to already pre-selected options, make sure, the Command Line is selected, and press OK.
Go File>Save As, and save the report as Procexp.txt.
Attach the file to your next reply.
