I just cleaned up a computer that was infected with Antivirus8.
MalwareBytes pretty well did the trick since SuperAntispyware only found a
couple of cookies. I've checked IE and Firefox for redirects and am not
getting any. But I've got two problems that I haven't figured out yet.
One of them is that when the computer is first booted, both Internet
Explorer and Firefox both automatically open to their home page (Google).
I find nothing in msconfig that is starting the browsers.
The second thing is that when searching from Internet Explorer certain
items will bring up a popup from Amazon just above the system tray. See
http://mewnlite.com/amazon.jpg for an example. This does not occur with
Firefox.
It's an Acer, Windows 7 32 bit Home Premium. He has AVG free as his AV.
I have not yet run any rootkit detectors since I don't see any spymtoms
(like redirects) that usually accompany a rootkit. If anyone recognizes
either of these behaviors and has a solution, feel free to tell me about
it!
Meanwhile, I'll keep Googling,
Thanks.
