insanedown58 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 So I have this problem with a browser hijacker. I have tried AdwCleaner with no luck. Its the DoSearches Browser Hijacker and it integrated itself in Firefox and IE by opening the DoSearches webpage at startup. How do I shred this thing into a million pieces? AdwCleaner wiped the remnants of the adware installers and the registry keys attached to them so I have no idea what's going on with my PC.

insanedown58 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 (edited) A scan with an updated MBAM seemed to have done it. I'll reboot to check.EDIT: Nope, still there. I'm sending the Hitman (Pro). Edited October 12, 2013 by insanedown58 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insanedown58 Posted October 12, 2013 Author Share Posted October 12, 2013 http://malwaretips.com/blogs/dosearches-com-virus/This did it! Hahahaha I was too busy busting my grinds with security tools and when all I had to do was remove a line. Gosh I need a refresher course with malware. I've gone dumb in these parts ever since I started using Linux :doh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LOQUILLO Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 and nothing yet.I had haved this problem and any tool for kill and detect malware never was good for me, the only solution was uninstall DoSearches Browser, the program folder and the uninstaller are in C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Local\ or in C:\Users\YourUser\AppData\Roaming\.
