(Solved) My browser gets redirected to Russian porn site

2618 Views 8 Replies 2 Participants Last post by  NiteHawk
I supposed that wouldn't be so bad if I spoke Russian, but then again, there's not much writing... ;-) One of the exchange students spoke Russian, so I suspect that's when the "lovely" hijacking occurred. I think it's the "sexyque.com" items below. I've also seen "pretty.ru" on the browser window when it's redirected.

I've updated my Symantec virus software an hour ago, re-ran a scan, and that's clean.

Below is my Hijack This log. Please take a look at it and let me know what to do. Thanks!

Lori

P.S. I've downloaded and installed SpywareBlaster and Spybot-S&D since posting this.
Hmmm, is Russian porn better?? :D Just kidding you.
Give me some time to go over your log and make suggestions.
on this entry
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Gadu-Gadu] C:\Program Files\Gadu-Gadu\powergg.exe /tray

the only things I can find on Google are non-english.

So unless you know what powergg.exe is, we will assume that it is part of your current problems.
In Hijack This, check ALL of the following items. Double check so as to be sure not to miss a single one.
Next, close all browser Windows, and have HT fix all checked.

IF you are running ME or XP Disable SYSTEM RESTORE : Here's How

Next reboot into Safe Mode and remove the following files and folders that are bolded

C:\Program Files\Gadu-Gadu\powergg.exe /tray

See here http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406 for how to start in safe mode if you don't know how.

While in Safe Mode, use Notepad to open win.ini and edit this line

Load=C:\YDPDict\watch.exe

So that it only reads
Load=

Reboot into normal mode

Now download Spybot - Search & Destroy (if you haven't got the program installed already)

After installing, first press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and install all updates.

Next, close all Internet Explorer windows, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove/fix all it finds that are in RED

Reboot

Last, run HJT again and post your log again to see if anything was missed.

Thanks
