Hello. Recently I have been infected with the happili virus. It has all the symptoms of other users, with hijacked searched results leading to spam pages. I don't know how long I have it as I do not search on this computer often, but it is still a pain to have. Any help in getting this issue resolved would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
You can follow Jacee's posts in the thread Need help removing Happili redirect virus .
If any farther assistance is needed, I hope she will do it when she will be online.
Happili redirect virus is a browser hijacker, it is also known as Google redirect virus and it is caused by a trojan tdss infection. You need to remove tdss by installing TDSS KILLER tool made by Kaspersky,, then reset your HOSTS file which can be found in C:\Windows\System32\Drivers\ETC
Also scan your computer with Malware Bytes or Super anti spyware.
Hello. I ran the TDSSkiller application, but it came up with 0 threats, even though the virus still remains. Any other adviice would be greatly appreciated
I was attempting to go through the steps, however combofix will never finish. It gets through stage 50 and will then sit there and do nothing, i waited almost 30 mins with no movement after that.
Sorry about that, combofix is working now, the log is attached. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
