safe mode probably.
and there's freeware out there that's supposed to kill any file, regardless of restrictions. i can't remember where i found it, was just looking at it the other day.

hmm i'll get back to you

maybe do a google search? i found like 5 removal entries, normally some pests like that need an special software because they make an entry on your registry file and save files on hidden places.
In case nothing works its always good to look for the exact file that contains the pest (look at the task bar on windows, find the process that contains the pest then make a search on your HD to find the file). Then with the name go safe mode and delete the file, normally you cant delete in normal mode because the process is being used. Just work a little.

Oh wow, I've been relying on Spybot and Adaware....thanks for opening my eyes

Edit: I had Virtumonde a while ago, had to use ComboFix to get rid of it.

Hum, I have no idea what I'm dealing with here. My brothers laptop is pretty much fucked and barely anything runs right. More specifically, his firefox has been hijacked and I'm pretty sure he's got a virus which is fucking with the comp (he thinks its virut, but i've check for it and nothing has come up =/)

I've tried installing/running avast, avg and bitdefender but they aren't picking anything up since I can't update them to the latest version (i think the virus is to blame here, but i could be wrong). In my efforts to update, I've tried downloading the manual update on my clean laptop and tried to run it on the infected one - that failed. Here's hoping TL can help out!!

Plexa, Install Browser Hijack Recoverer
http://www.browser-hijack.com/download.htm
That will fix your internet hijack and sort out your startup.

after that run Avira Personal Free,
http://www.free-av.de/en/trialpay_download/1/avira_antivir_personal__free_antivirus.html

Make sure you update it first.

Another thing to do if it stops you downloading or w/e is to go run > msconfig > click startup, and uncheck everything you deem un-nesessary or suspicious. alot of viruses can be seen there.

U can pm me if u need anything else.

Ad-Aware, Spybot, and Windows Defender are useless

You may want to throw in some basic anti-rootkit programs like Blacklight, AVG anti-rootkit, Sophos anti-rootkit. However you should include a warning not to fix anything if these detect anything, and instead post on a known anti-malware forum.

Also you could have a group for other programs like SpywareGuard, SpywareBlaster, MVPS hosts file, and other tools that don't fit into any category.

Why spybot useless? I have faith in spybot

Spybot search & destroy? Not endorsed in this thread but I have experienced it as very good. What about service pack and windows update? Especially worms can infect removable media and other computers through the network so make sure your other machine is protected

I'm starting to think it isn't a hijack at all =/ probably something much worse. I keep getting redirected to odd sites and none of the standard virus sites will load.

UPDATE: Avira won't install. It starts loading then gets nuked about 3/4 of the way through

none of the standard virus sites will load? that reminds me of conficker. Was the infected machine patched through windows update?

Does the sites you get redirected to propose downloading their antivirus programs?

My brother says that he did an update earlier today (after infection). He thinks he got an infection from Bitdefender off one of the sites listed at katz.cd. (doh)

it gets redirected to abcjmp.com which redirects to chinasexculture.com
