I'm having some very annoying problems here. Despite running every virus removal program under the sun, in addition to CCcleaner, HijackThis, and doing "manual" fixes I cannot fix ANY of these issues:
1. I have the google redirect virus. Don't know how I got it since I only really browse websites I have favorited, but anyways it happens. Basically every 1/3 google links I click, will INSTEAD redirect to some adsense search engine bullshit instead of the link I clicked. 2. Every time I start up windows normally, I BSOD. To get into windows I have to boot into either safe mode or debugging mode (the latter is what I do, and appears to work exactly like windows minus a few minor issues). This is most likely due to the above virus fucking things up. Easy fix with the recovery console, using a chkdsk and fixmbr from what I'm told. Problem is, my windows XP disk I do not have (can't find it), and the recovery console is ONLY located there. BUT... 3. I DID find a bat that allowed me to burn the recovery console to a CD, to boot from. Except I just found out that all my burning programs can no longer detect my DVD/CD burner, which means I can't do this. Most likely because I am running in safe mode/debug mode. 4. My system restore is wiped, and I can't make new restore points. This is again most likely due to the above virus. I do however have an old CCcleaner registry backup from 6/23... but that's over a month old. I'd rather not resort to using that. I need some serious help here. I've done all I can think of and there's no way I can fix this. I am almost POSITIVE that the reason why my DVD/CD burner isn't working (even though it is detected by windows to work), is because I am running in debug/safe mode. If I could fix my booting from BSOD'ing by running chkdsk and fixmbr through the recovery console this would be much easier and I'd be able to fix things better, but I can't. Obviously reformatting is not an option considering I have no idea where the hell my windows XP disk is (otherwise I would just use that recovery console). But, my big issue of course is the virus. Here is my HijackThis log: Code: Running processes:Can anyone see anything that would cause issues? I've dug through it myself and I can't find a single out of place file/string. Other people who have had this issue on google and such had stuff like "ILuvSearch" and other crap like that, but in my case everything that showed up is driver related stuff I use or just old programs that are safe but I haven't used in a while. ![[Image: a731e9e08c48b218b111e3275e851e8e.gif]](http://content.ytmnd.com/content/a/7/3/a731e9e08c48b218b111e3275e851e8e.gif)

Jesus, you have A LOT of running programs!
A good number of them could be the cause, in addition to browser-plugin trojans, DLL viruses, etc. Here's a start, use MSConfig (Start->Run->'MSCONFIG'->Startup Tab->uncheck EVERYTHING!->Click ok, reboot). See if that helps things, otherwise run another HijackThis and post the log. As spent time goes, you are best trying to acquire a replacement Windows XP disc. Reinstalling will be the fastest way to get back on your feet. If you are unable to find one locally, shoot me a PM and I can see if I can help you out. |

Don't you have your install disc? Truy doing a recovery install. You might be able to fix enough shit up that you may buy time to back your shit up and format.
<+Karrde> welp, time to learn some basic patterning skills <@Negate> 12121212121212121212 <@Negate> there is a simple pattern <+Karrde> I changed my mind. Gonna cosplay as a gay demon from hell and get negate raped instead XD <+Caffeine`work> Karrde: Gay demon? Why would you need to cosplay just go as yourself <+FlyingMongoose> Caffeine`work: Karrde would actually have to tone it down some. |

Get a friend to download a pirated copy, if you want to save any data, just buy a new hard drive and do a fresh install

Too much time, I'm lazyÂ
 Plus I'd probably need a weeeee bit more than a few dvd's burned. It would be cheaper to get a new hard-drive than to buy enough CD's+DVDs to backup everything.

Surely you don't have more than 8GB of stuff you absolutely cannot find anywhere else. Feeling generous? Karf is a respectable human being. http://i.imgur.com/MTVw5.png Thank you, Mr. Pelican.

Managed to burn a boot disk on a my dad's CD burner on his work laptop. Not sure if it will work though because most of the options some guide told me to set wern't avalable in the program I was using (even though it says I could "make a boot disk" in the program). Gonna try to use that to defrillibrate my OS so I won't have to use debug mode.
I'm glad the virus seems to not do anything except redirect every third google link though. What is weird is that it there's pretty much little to no trace of it running on the computer as far as I can tell, unless it's embedded itself into my browser somehow or a really REALLY hidden rootkit. I thought rootkits though were pretty much "covered" by modern anti-spyware/adware/virus programs?
