Today I had a windows warning pop-up that I had spyware on my pc. I tried running spybot S&D but it wouldn't start and ad-aware and AVG were unable to connect to the update servers. I downloaded spybot SD again, but it can't connect during installation, so won't finish installing. I am also unable to connect to certain websites (namely the AVG, norton etc websites). When I google something and click the link to the any website, it will open a new tab with some random generic search engine or other spam website. I downloaded the FIX thing suggested here, but it only had CCleaner and the manual and nothing else in the folder. I already had CCleaner and had run it, adaware and AVG and these problems still occur. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Edit: I see that the google problem is caused by something called go-google.com I have tried downloading the malwarebytes and other programs, but like spybot SD, they do not run/install.
Rename the file to setup.exe Run the setup.exe file Rename the directory it's installing to as Malware and rename the folder as Malware too in the installation setup screen When it gets to the final step of the installation it will seem like it froze....it hasn't but it will take anywhere from 15mins to an hour to get through that step so just let it do its thing. Go into the Malware folder in through Program Files Rename the mbam.exe or what not file to Mb.exe and run it. Do a full computer scan
Everything seems to be working fine now Was it the log from the malwarebytes you would like posted? Thanks a lot for the fast response and great help. It's a great thing you are doing here.
I've got a similar problem and tried your suggestion, renamed the folders etc. Evrything going fine (much futher than I've got with other suggestions) until running the mb.exe which brought up the egg timer but failed to run!!
