1368664 2014-02-27 08:31:00 I have checked and i still get a misdirection, although this time to another site. I had a look at Junk removal and saw about a program call Scorpion Saver. I went through the check list and do not have it installed as a program, nor do I have it in Tools/Extensions on any of the three Browsers [IE,Firefox and Chrome-Default] I do recall having installed a download program like 1Click (not sure if it was that or something similar) suggested, I think. through YouTube, but I deleted it because it was too stupid for words!

I wonder if I have a residual trace of this in Registry?

I took a Screen Dump of the Inspect Element Screen for one of these events (from Chrome History). I have this saved as a PDF file (so no problems with contagion) if anyone knows enough to determine the problem from that source? If so I can email it to you, or attach it to a post?

Again

1368665 2014-02-27 08:43:00 It wont be helping ( Scorpion Saver) its malware. Do you have Nod setup fully ?? If its set fully it should have stopped it, unless any warning was ignored. Nod should have detected a PUP ( but again it has to be set fully other wise it may not.)

Have a read of the following removal instructions: www.2-spyware.com and www.bleepingcomputer.com

Make sure you run ALL the programs as instructed, dont skimp as it may fail. At the end of the article are the files and reg keys to manually check and remove if there.

One thing about that article DONT run a quick scan, run the FULL. The quick scan will often miss lots.

1368666 2014-02-27 18:50:00 One other thing to check, go into the control panel/ Internet Options / Connections / Lan Settings, make sure theres no proxy Server setting been added. wainuitech (129)
1368667 2014-02-28 10:14:00 I'm sure it is not Scorpion Saver, but the problem still exists. I checked the Internet options and there are no Proxy Server setting added. And yes, I'm sure ESET is working correctly. GrahamB (750)
1368668 2014-02-28 10:33:00 So did you do a full scan with malwarebytes? Speedy Gonzales (78)
1368669 2014-02-28 10:58:00 Try a scan with Hitman Pro Agent_24 (57)
1368670 2014-03-01 21:27:00 Download Combofix from any of the links below, and save it to your desktop.

Link 1 ('download.bleepingcomputer.com)
Link 2 ('subs.geekstogo.com)

To prevent your anti-virus application interfering with ComboFix we need to disable it. See here ('www.pchelpforum.com) 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:

img.photobucket.com

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.

img.photobucket.com

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:

img.photobucket.com

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.

1368671 2014-03-02 07:31:00 Yes I downloaded a WinZip program from Tucows -AFTER the problem was discovered. It was an app to try to catch the culprit and was, in my opinion, a joke!

1368672 2014-03-02 07:35:00 Hi Agent_24,, I got notification of your reply and Pancake's at the same time. I have just tried ComboFix first. Will try Hitman Pro if ComboFix doesn't!

1368673 2014-03-02 07:52:00 Hi Pancake

I have tried ComboFix . Had to shag around a bit to get rid of Spybot - deleted it eventually as I did not seem to be able to suspend it . I have attached here the ComboFix . txt file .

I am about to reboot, and reset ESET, and then will check to see if the problem continues, and will come back . Will appreciate your comments/guidance .

If it does continue then I will try Hitman Pro See previous posting from Agent_24 .

-I am unable to download the file, either as . txt or . pdf .

Systems says invalid file . I hope I don"t upset anyone by pasting the content below . if it does not come through, feel frr to email me at graham(at)ariel . co . nz
