HX1 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Want to check your hosts file and have you scanned your registry entries..What type of redirects are you getting what do you do to get them exactly action for action...Have you erased all temp file locations... and data..

HX1 Posted July 17, 2011 Share Posted July 17, 2011 Running into sites like this doing searches sometimes actually does happen sometimes.. now if your using your search Search Box in FF.. and or going directly to these sites instead of hitting your search engine first.. then I would remove and re-add the search engine entry.. and or check your hosts file for entries.. If you have added extensive entries then you should open it in Notepad and do a search for the gigaixel word.. This could also be cause by some formation of the url structure which could be triggering a block or redirect.. Look at those two thing first.. do a spring cleaning... check for anything odd with HiJackThis! Scan.. so on.. but it is unlikely your infected... However I received none of the results you have from the search string from Google or any other engine .. though it has happened to me in the past.. Sometimes even when trying to reach a site or domain that may no longer be registered or operative.. from Bookmarks... Depending on how this occurred or if your history is being used .. it may be a good idea to do some cleaning there.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlienForce1 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 If you are absolutely certain that your comp. is malware free (and scanned as you said) - then it`s a good posibility that you have a toolbar or a search engine aded by SCOUR ( see here `63.209.69.107/search/web/Gigapixel` ) B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambrocious Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 What program(s) did you use to search for malware? I also agree that it may be part of your addons or it could be because of a third party desktop program that you installed. My mom uses Incredimail and EVERY time that program updates, it changes her homepage and adds a tool bar with adware. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HX1 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Explain to me exactly where you clicked the link from.. was it from results in a Google Search page? or was it when you typed in the entry into google and hit enter or clicked search? Which one.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Win7nerd Posted July 18, 2011 Author Share Posted July 18, 2011 these are from Google search results Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 Okay.. well then I revert to one of my first posts above.. there is nothing to fix... and your system is not infected or compromised in any way.. These sites are all over the net.. sucking up vacant and used domain names and websites everywhere... They usually list results.. and some actually simply bounce you around from one to another while the host benefits from ad links and clicks...The only known way would be to attempt to filter out the sites... and more than likely the places you were trying to go.. are no longer available or the main sites were temporarily down... while these possibly even hosted by the main Domain Server/Host.. were taking the requests..

toyo Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 I'm not really sure I understood what happens in your browser, but: if the same redirects happen again and again, sometimes even when you visit nice&clean sites, then maybe there is some type of malicious modification of your system you didn't find yet... :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win7nerd Posted July 19, 2011 Author Share Posted July 19, 2011 actually, i noticed no redirects after implaguetold me to use the spyhunter app, i was a bit leary at first by the look if it but i was fairly impressed. i used a patch from here on Nsane, and it worked great. and it got rid of the crap that was causing the redirects, and i used hijackthis AGAIN, and it seemed to be working correctly. no redirects anymore, i would like to thank ALL OF YOU who helped me figure all this crap out lol, and the reason why i had the bold print on is because im partially blind, no annoyance intended i might add. so for future reference if i do that, keep that in mind. thank you ALL for helping me in this matter. thank you soo much. it was getting annoying there for awhile lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kojootti Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 download the latest tdl4 (mbr rootkit) remover from here: do a scan and tell us what u found.Just a reminder that scanner gives a lot of suspicious marks on normal real drivers installed by software .. (for a fake md5 checksum for example)It marked for example Rollback RX's driver as suspicious+faked md5 :Dbut the log u get might help.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HX1 Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I had a friend of mine download and install Hitman Pro about a year back... Kept getting popups and some issues... Anyway.. it detected the TCPIP.sys ( I think ) file on his XP system.. In an effort to remove it and get his work PC back online and finish up.. He simply cleaned everything... after I had told him to verify it all beforehand...His system lost all Internet connectivity and a tech had to be called to fix the system.. Turned something that should have taken a few minutes and turned it into a whole day fiasco... I tend to stay away from trying to fix systems over the hone this way.. period.. If I can't get my hands on it.. and do it myself.. then I try to back away from it.. or direct them somewhere to get help.. Even though it was his fault in a way .. I still felt like a complete FAIL.. as being the one who got him there..ALWAYS a good idea to check those files and signatures before messing with anything pointing to them at all.. and using the necessary combination of tools to be properly thorough...
