    TDSS Trojan/Google Redirect

    None of my Virus/Spyware finds it.

    Kapersky and Symantec TDSS Tools can't find it.

    Other than taking it to a professional, running out of ideas to combat this recently aquired bugger.

    Quite unhappy.

    Good example of why it'll be a pro visit tomorrow.

    I'm a limited-knowledge guy on IT. Basic stuff, ok. Linux, ClamAV (no idea what that is), no. Beyond basic "download and run" solutions, I'm a bad on this stuff.

    But appreciate the feedback, helps me know a pro is neded for me.

    So it is redirecting your google to search somethingorother? Completely clean your browser downloads and plugins and then use a registry fixer and then try again.
    What OS and browser?

    Format drive and use your backups

    You have backups right?

    This, if scanning with current AV doesn't do it, nuke it from orbit and rebuild from the ashes. It's the only way to be sure.

    This is also why you should sandbox your browsers... I use Linux exclusively these days which is a relatively secure environment for browsing and I still sandbox them. (Sandfox if you wanted to know). I'm not sure how secure Windows is as regards to sandboxing considering Googles Chrome sandbox was bypassed last year. I guess if your truly paranoid a Virtual Machine would be best bet on Windows....

    VMs aren't that hard to build and they make everything a hundred times safer.

    I'm going to plug Sandboxie again. It creates a virtual version of your harddrive and you can allow and disallow things to run within it. You can run apps and all sorts by sandboxing folders if you wish.

    Is this the reason why you guys are all into running VMs? I personally have never felt a need to use them. VMWare is used at work, but I don't need it.

    One of a few different reasons, yeah. VMs are also handy for having Linux and Windows at your fingertips simultaneously, and for doing stuff that might be stupid/dangerous. Back when I was messing around with learning to hook drivers I used a Windows VM so I wouldn't blow up my system if anything went wrong.

    -O
    I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those Thukkers, that way I wouldn't have to have any goddamn stupid useless conversations with anybody.
