Solved Bikinland and Arcade Giant infected my pc

[Lori O]

Can you please help me get Google Chrome to open? I have taken the steps noted above but to no avail.

 

[Lori O]

I just noticed that the Bikinland icon shows up as a browser option when I click on the down arrow on the right hand side of the Internet Explorer URL line.

Helllo,

My name is Argus and and I will be helping you with your computer problems.

Before we begin, please note the following:

• I will working be on your Malware issues, this may or may not, solve other issues you have with your machine.
• The logs can take some time to research, so please be patient with me.
• Stay with the topic until I tell you that your system is clean. Missing symptoms does not mean that everything is okay.
• Instructions that I give are for your system only!
• Please do not run any tools until requested ! The reason for this is so I know what is going on with the machine at any time. Some programs can interfere with others and hamper the recovery process.
• Please perform all steps in the order received. If you can't understand something don't hesitate to ask.
• Again I would like to remind you to make no further changes to your computer unless I direct you to do so. I will not help you if you do not follow my instructions.

We need to uninstall some unwanted/unneeded programs.

  + R on your keyboard at the same time. Type appwiz.cpl and click OK.
• Search there for each entry mentioned below, right-click the entry and click Uninstall one at a time

The list of programs to uninstall:

After completing uninstalls, please manually reboot your machine!

Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

This fix was created for this user for use on that particular machine.

Running it on another one may cause damage and render the system unstable.

​

Download attached fixlist.txt file and save it to the Desktop:

Both files, FRST and fixlist.txt have to be in the same location or the fix will not work!

• Right-click on
  
  icon and select
  
  Run as Administrator to start the tool.
  (XP users click run after receipt of Windows Security Warning - Open File).
• Press the Fix button just once and wait.
• If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
• When finished FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Argus,

I could not uninstall Coupon Bar; nothing happened when I clicked on "uninstall".
Where is the icon for the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool? Did you mean click on the one in the email? Because "run as administrator" is not an option when I right-clicked.

Thanks,
Lori

Running from C:\Users\owner\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\893PRQA3

Download Farbar to your desktop.

 

[Lori O]

I'm sorry; I feel so stupid. I can't seem to download Farbar to my desktop. I sent it to my desktop from the attached directory, but it doesn't open when I click on it.

Disable Antivirus

Disabling Microsoft Essentials didn't help. Should I just download it from here: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/farbar-recovery-scan-tool/

 

[argus]

Yes.

 

[Lori O]

Tag you're it.

 

[argus]

Is everything ok now?

 

[Lori O]

Yes, it seems to be. Thank you so much! I had to re-boot my pc after FRT ran, but I can use Google Chrome again and the Bikinland icon is no longer showing as a browser option in IE.

Glad we could help. We will delete all used tools.



Download DelFix by Xplode and save it to your desktop.

• Run the tool by right click on the
  
  icon and Run as administrator option.
• Make sure that these ones are checked:
  • Remove disinfection tools
  • Purge system restore
  • Reset system settings
• Push Run and wait until the tool completes his work.
• All tools we used should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

 

[Lori O]

Done. Thanks again!
