Thank you for you help so far.

I ran hijackthis and removed the items you mentioned.

When I tried to install Malwarebytes the installation hung and wouldn't finish. I did get a Malware icon on my desktop though. Then I tried unistalling Malwarebytes so I could attempt another install but the uninstall hung also.

What next? Let me think

Hello.

  • Download combofix from here
    Link 1
    Link 2

    1. If you are using Firefox, make sure that your download settings are as follows:

    * Tools->Options->Main tab
    * Set to "Always ask me where to Save the files".

    2. During the download, rename Combofix to Combo-Fix as follows:

    Audio ads popping up CF_download_FF

    Audio ads popping up CF_download_rename

    3. It is important you rename Combofix during the download, but not after.
    4. Please do not rename Combofix to other names, but only to the one indicated.
    5. Close any open browsers.
    6. Close/disable all anti virus and anti malware programs so they do not interfere with the running of ComboFix.

  • We need to disable your local AV (Anti-virus) before running Combofix.
  • See HERE for how to disable your AV.
  • Double click on ComboFix.exe.
  • Follow the prompts. NOTE:
  • ComboFix will check to see if the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is installed.
    ***It's strongly recommended to have the Recovery Console installed before doing any malware removal.***

    **Please note: If the Microsoft Windows Recovery Console is already installed, ComboFix will automatically proceed with its scan.


  • The Recovery Console provides a recovery/repair mode should a problem occur during a Combofix run.

    Audio ads popping up Cf410

  • Allow ComboFix to download the Recovery Console.
  • Accept the End-User License Agreement.
  • The Recovery Console will be installed.
  • You will then get this next prompt that asks if you want to continue the malware scan, select yes

    Audio ads popping up Cf510

  • Allow combofix to run
  • Post C:\combofix.txt back here.

    Note:
    Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.

descriptionAudio ads popping up EmptyRe: Audio ads popping up

I tried using both IE and Firefox and neither link for combofix will work for me. I get a "Cannot Display Page" error.

descriptionAudio ads popping up EmptyRe: Audio ads popping up

Try this instead.

Download OTL by OldTimer to your Desktop.

  • Close all windows and double click OTL.exe
  • Click Run Scan and let the program run uninterrupted
  • It will produce two logs for you, one will pop up - OTL.txt, the other will be saved on your Desktop - Extras.txt. Post both logs in this thread.
  • You may need to use two posts to get it all.

Same result. I got the "Internet Explorer Cannot....etc..." message.

This is a nasty one.

Can you download tools from another machine via USB and carry them over to the infected machine.

descriptionAudio ads popping up EmptyRe: Audio ads popping up

Thank you for all your help.

I took the machine over to a friend's house and we did what you suggested and the problem seems to be fixed.

Thank You!
