    Possible Redirect Virus? Need Urgent Help


    Hi,
    I am certain that I have picked up a redirect virus in Internet Explorer 9 RC. It is not specifically pertaining to Google, but everything! In fact, I can no longer navigate to either yahoo or Google. However, Firefox and Google Chrome as well as Opera are working fine, for now. I have Bit Defender and Comodo Internet Security Premium, neither are picking up any viruses. I am at a total loss as to what to do . Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

    Regards
    Marcus

    Let's flush the bad DNS entry and restore MS's Hosts file

    Copy and paste these lines in Note pad.

    @Echo on
    pushd\windows\system32\drivers\etc
    attrib -h -s -r hosts
    echo 127.0.0.1 localhost>HOSTS
    attrib +r +h +s hosts
    popd
    ipconfig /release
    ipconfig /renew
    ipconfig /flushdns
    netsh winsock reset all
    netsh int ip reset all
    shutdown -r -t 1
    del %0

    Save as flush.bat to your desktop. Right click to run as Administrator. Your computer will reboot itself.

    Next, download DDS from one of these links:

    Mirror 1 Mirror 2 Mirror 3
    • Disable any script blocking protection
    • Double click the dds icon to run the tool.
    • When done, DDS will open two (2) logs:
      1. DDS.txt
      2. Attach.txt <-- will be minimized in the task tray
    • Save both reports to your desktop.
    Include the contents of both logs in your next reply.
