Home page on IE has been hijacked by www.duba.com?

Question

I've checked extensions, and made sure my home page is set to www.yahoo.com. This hijacker is absolutely vicious. I installed avast and malwarebytes and avast doesn't catch anything. Right after the first time I ran malwarebytes my original home page was restored, but after I restarted my laptop a blue screen popped out saying it caught something vicious but I didn't catch the name, then when I restarted IE it was back to duba.com. Now when I run malwarebytes it doesn't catch anything. I also ran ccleaner, and it doesn't help.

Any ideas?

The chrome web browser runs well and is not affected.

Answer 1

You must be infected by a redirect virus. To remove it from you system completely, you should to the local disk to delete its files and remove its entries in the registry entries. By the way, before you run malwarebytes to scan the system, you should boot the machine in the Safe Mode with Networking first. You can accomplish this process by clicking F8 repeatedly when your PC is launching. Hope this will help.

I've been through that home page change after downloading files on internet website offering free software many times, also include toolbars and wifi hot spot shield. Delete first the accompanied toolbars if any. Go to Control panel then program and search the unwanted toolbar, On desktop open EI browse to desire home page, then change home by right click any part of the EI head bar then select command bar, scroll down home select add or change home, choose use this web page as only home page. Make sure that you close the previous home page you wanted to delete before doing this procedure. Restart the computer, Hope you done it right Have a nice day

The malware is still on the computer and is in auto run. Try a uninstaller like Revo Uninstaller free version. Then go to auto rum manager under Tools. Then look for a suspicious program the is listed to auto run when starting the computer and high light it. Then click on the remove button. After reset IE for security levels. If this doesn't stop it then you probably need to restore the computer to before the attack

1. Check for Virus - Norton Antivirus, Mcafee, AVG, etc... 2. Check for Spyware - Spy Sweeper, Spybot, etc ... 3. Check for adware - Ad-Adware from lavasoft is a good one. Then try to remove it using the program, if cannot, then might have to clear it in safe mode or using MS-DOS format, which is quite troublesome.
