If TDSSKiller won't run (blocked by SST rootkit) Part 2, Browsers redirected ad nauseum Options

[navaho]

Despite following the advice of numerous contributors and using Malewarebytes, Spybot, Eset, Superantispyware etc. etc. I was totally frustrated trying to get rid of whatever was making my web browsers be constantly redirected to nonsensical sites... Tried downloading TDSSKiller but it would not run - came to this forum when I googled the issue - tried to download both zip files for this program as neither would run - tried extracting it to the D drive etc. - - no luck. FINALLY copied the zip file to a memory stick, extracted it there and renamed it (foolem) and then ran it - SUCCESSFULLY.
Many thanks to the folks at Kapersky for sharing this solution - if downloading and running this program does not work for you try my method.
Too bad the morons who create this type of malware (redirectors etc.) could not do something positive with their talents!

"Nothing personal - just business". This phrase just clearly describes what they're doing.

FINALLY a solution that worked!!! I had the identical situation you described and tried all of the same things. I even went out and bought a replacement hard drive for my laptop assuming this wasn't fixable. Decided to give the virus removal one more shot.

Thanks "navaho"!!!
