Another google hijack

Hi everyone,

Well, I've got one of the google hijack viruses that will allow me to search in google but not actually visit the site I'm attempting to - it just sends me to some other bs instead.

So, I read through the forum a bit for solutions, and I now realize I have an even bigger problem.

I attempted to download Malware Bytes' Anti-Malware and HijackThis!, but my computer will not open the .exe to install them. I can't even download the malware bytes .exe. Every time I get to the link, my browser says the page cannot be found, even though it works on the computer directly next to me. I even attempted to download the setup file from the other computer and move it to this computer from my thumb drive, but it won't open anyway. Also, I just downloaded and installed opera, so I can open at least some .exe files.

I wish I could do a little more on my end, but I'm out of ideas. Any help is appreciated as to how I can get these files open to get rid of the problem.

Well, it appears that when I rename the exe, .rar the setup file, then run the exe from the rar file, I can install the programs. I have both HijackThis installed and Malwarebytes, but only HijackThis will open for the time being. Any help to get my malwarebytes going is appreciated. So, here's my log anyway:

Try UnHackMe By Greatis software, latest version. Download it from another machine and burn to a CD and run on the infected machine, then reboot. It can break many stubborn infections that disable most all anti-virus and anti-malware programs. 30 day free trial available, fully functional.

Recently used it to break a severe Antispyware 2008 infection, combined with a number of Trojans. Then was able to clean up with AVG, Spybot and Bit Defender online scan.

With similar problem (the log is here under another topic started by me) I now tryed to run UnHackMe as suggested here from a cd, and it did find a suspicious program called Kernel auto bot.
Only thing is it is located in a file called G and the programme cannot get it out beause it cant find the file G when it tries to destroy it?

I'm a bit confused again.. What to do?

Hi jgc87,

I'll try and help you....

When you say Malwarebytes won't run, does it give you an error message, or does Malwarebytes just not start up at all?

Close all open windows, and run HijackThis again.

Put a check next to the following:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [CTEMON.EXE] "" /h

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: C:\Program,Files\RelevantKnowledge\rlai.dll,C:\Program,Files\RelevantKnowledge\rlai.dll,C:\Program,Files\RelevantKnowledge\rlai.dll,C:\Program,Files\RelevantKnowledge\rlai.dll,C:\Program,Files\RelevantKnowledge\rlai.dll,C:\Program Files\RelevantKnowledge\rlai.dll dtjfjr.dll

Click Fix Checked, and restart your computer. Do another HijackThis scan, and post back the log.
