Suspected Malware - started with BigSeekPro - can't access Google!
Hi
A friend has asked me to take a look at her son's laptop. She had tried to do some things to fix it before she gave it to me so unsure what it's original state was.
She believes it had something to do with Big Seek Pro - seems to be a common malware tool from what I can find. There was no trace of Big Seek Pro on the laptop, but the default search engine pointed towards their website.
The symptoms are odd - I can access the internet. But not all of it! If I try to go to google.com I get the message "Apache is functioning normally". I can get to Webcrawler ok & other sites such as this.
This is the same in both IE & Chrome.
I've run Avast which has come up clean. Malwarebytes also came up clean.
Currently running ESET on-line scanner but that is showing no results either.
Has anyone got an ideas or additional tools I can use to see if I can figure this out?
Thanks
Nick
