Hi,


Please download zoek.zip or zoek.rar by smeenk (
Zoek_icon.png
) from here or here and save it to your Desktop.
Unpack the archive...
  • Close any open browsers
  • Temporarily disable your AntiVirus program. (If necessary)
    If you are unsure how to do this please read this or this Instruction.
  • Double click on zoek.exe to run the tool .
    Please wait while the tool does not start...
  • Copy the text present inside the code box below and paste it into the large window in the zoek tool:
    NOTICE: This script was written specifically for this user, for use on that particular machine. Running this on another machine may cause damage to the operating system

    Code:
    createsrpoint;
    gpt.ini;z 
    C:\Windows\System32\GroupPolicy;v
    C:\Windows\SysWOW64\GroupPolicy;v 
    StandardSearch; 
    emptyfolderscheck; 
    installer-list; 
    installedprogs; 
    uninstall-list;
  • Click on
    Run%20Script%20by%20zoek.png
    button.
    Please wait until a logreport will open (this can be after reboot)
  • Save notepad to your Desktop and attach here zoek-results.log
    Note: It will also create a log in the C:\ directory named "zoek-results.log"

seems to be fine from first line we ran no more pop up of url malware although avast wont leave zoek alone so i have been running it in safe mode, so as this computer seems to be fixed i now need help with my other my other computer in the house which is running 32 bit of windows and has the same url malware so i guessing i will need different script?

Zoek is legitimate tool, and you can ignore Avast warning. Just disable Avast before running. Follow the same instructions on your other machine :)

umm it has returned avast warning of url malware so nope not ok >.< ( seen another post with same problem and you suggested malwarebytes anti rootkit so i will try this since i haven't) nothing found with root kit reran scripts in zoek problems seems subsided again, questioning if parents are getting crap off facebook as i only get on computer now days to try fix it or check my e-mail or do college school work. If makes any difference i got on today and windows was configuring and update and boom url malware same one pops up in warning window from avast
