So about 1 month ago I noticed that the search engine changed to arabyonline but I didn't know what it was. Up until just a week ago, it still searched my subject using arabyonline search engine however it started to redirect me to GoDaddy.com. My computer is a Lenovo ideapad. Version is a P500. I believe my Chrome is a 64 bit. If someone can help me remove this virus that would be great! I have included the scan logs of the Farbar scanner.

Thanks, Nick

Hello,


Please remove from Control Panel:

Open Office 2013 Packages


FRST.gif
Fix with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

icon_exclaim.gif
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
    FRST.gif
    icon and select
    RunAsAdmin.jpg
    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 finishes FRST will generate a log on the Desktop, called Fixlog.txt.

Please attach it to your reply.

Hello TwinHeadedEagle,

I searched on my control panel for Open Office 2013 Packages but no results turned up. It said nothing was found. Instead I found OpenOffice on my desktop screen and just deleted it. So I ran the Farbar Recovery Scan Tool after and I have attached the FRST.txt. and Additional.txt. Sorry, I am not the best at technology.

Thanks, Nick

So I scanned using the FRST and pressed the fix button, it restarted my computer. I attached the FRST.txt. and Additional.txt after the fix.

HI again, when the FRST restarted my computer, it didn't save any FixLog to by desktop but instead to my downloaded folder. However, for some reason, it fixed my arabyonline problem! So I finally found the Fixlog.txt. Here it is.

Yes, it was supposed to fix your problem.


Since there are no more problems, we can declare this PC clean

Now, we can proceed with post-cleanup procedures. Let's remove my tools and create a new, non infected restore point concurrently deleting old ones.


Step 1. - Creation of system restore point and tools removal.


Download DelFix by Xplode and save it to your desktop.
  • Run the tool by right click on the
    51a5ce45263de-delfix.png
    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). I don't need it for review.
Tool deletes old system restore points and creates a fresh system restore point after cleaning.


Step 2. - Tips and tricks to keep your computer clean, safe and in a good shape.

Maintenance tips:

Additional software that I personally use and install on all my clients devices:

  • Zemana AntiMalware (paid version highly recommended) - to work as a supplement for your antivirus but with excellent remediation and protection
  • Zemana AntiLogger - keep everything you type on keyboard out of sight of bad guys trying to steal your credantials
  • Malwarebytes' Anti-Exploit - to prevent plenty of mostly exploited vulnerabilities.
  • McShield - to prevent infections spread by removable media.
  • Unchecky - to prevent from installing additional foistware, implemented in legitimate installations.
  • CryptoPrevent - tool for protection against Cryptolocker and similar ransomware infections.
  • Adblock - to surf the web without annoying ads!
  • Qualys BrowserCheck - cloud service that scans your browsers and plugins to see if they’re all up-to-date.
