Page Hijacker Virus FaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhK

I am running Kaspersky and it asked me what to do and I clicked the wrong button.

Now I am constantly being redirected to stupid pages. I am running scans now but I don't hold out much hope. The last thing Kaspersky said was something to the effect that the software wanted to install a driver in the bad place. The place where Kaspersky couldn't track it or something like that.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUck.

Any ideas?

sorry - got no clue. well less than no clue.

I had something a bit like that hit my machine last year; so did J. What we found was that if you wnt to a search engine and clicked any of the links it'd take you somewhere else entirely; but if you copied and pasted the link right into the web address box it woud go to the address. Same for anything hyperlinked.

Try ComboFix from bleepingcomputer.com. I know that someone had good luck with that yesterday.

cwshredder?

cwshredder didn't find anything. I am trying combofix. now. It's jsut as Dana describes.

Let me know if you do find anything that works. Last time that one hit we had to reinstall windows.

Kaspersky found a "hoax badjoke" virus and I delted it, but the problem remains. going though multiple scans.

I never had these problems with AVG and PrevX. I may go back to them.

A. V. G.:devil:

AVG, Malwarebytes and Ccleaner.

I use the latter two, and will probably go back to avg

What does Ccleaner do? Getting the internet window to open once I click on it takes some time for me. Once it is open its fine. What is that due to?

I like CC cleaner. It doesn't allow me to delete files I am not suppose to.
