Solved Yahoo hijacking chrome

Bullet Bill · Jan 13, 2016

For some reason I cannot open a new tab in Google chrome without being redirected to yahoo. I don't have yahoo as my default search engine and don't want to use it to search for anything.

When I open a new tab, I initially get redirected to this URL

Code:

http://searchinterneat-a.akamaihd.net/t?eq=U0EeFFhaR1oWHFdBJQ4LWApIDFAVdg4VVQ4QFhhCcwgJTAxBGQVFc11cBAxCEhNBNARaAktXUUEeIlVfAh8fHGZGIUtbCWgESFZIC1dXFg==

before ending up at yahoo a second later. This seems to be a problem other people have had so I'm hoping there's a solution to it. I'd really appreciate any help you can give me

Hello,

They call me TwinHeadedEagle around here, and I'll be working with you.

Before we start please read and note the following:

At the top of your post, please click on the "Watch thread" button and make sure to check Watch this thread...and receive email notifications. This will send an email to you as soon as I reply to your topic, allowing me to solve your problem faster.
Please do not install any new software during the cleaning process other than the tools I provide for you. This can hinder the cleaning process. Please do not perform System Restore or any other restore.
Instructions I give to you are very simple and made for complete beginner to follow. That's why you need to read through my instructions carefully and completely before executing them.
Please do not run any tools other than the ones I ask you to, when I ask you to. Some of these tools can be very dangerous if used improperly. Also, if you use a tool that I have not requested you use, it can cause false positives, thereby delaying the complete cleaning of your machine.
All tools we use here are completely clean and do not contain any malware. If your antivirus detects them as malicious, please disable your antivirus and then continue.
If during the process you run across anything that is not in my instructions, please stop and ask. If any tool is running too much time (few hours), please stop and inform me.
I visit forum several times at day, making sure to respond to everyone's topic as fast as possible. But bear in mind that I have private life like everyone and I cannot be here 24/7. So please be patient with me. Also, some infections require less, and some more time to be removed completely, so bear this in mind and be patient.
Please stay with me until the end of all steps and procedures and I declare your system clean. Just because there is a lack of symptoms does not indicate a clean machine. If you solved your problem yourself, set aside two minutes to let me know.
Please attach all report using

button below. Doing this, you make it easier for me to analyze and fix your problem.
Do not ask for help for your business PC. Companies are making revenue via computers, so it is good thing to pay for the repair.

Rules and policies

We won't support any piracy.
That being told, if any evidence of illegal OS, software, cracks/keygens or any other will be revealed, any further assistance will be suspended. If you are aware that there is this kind of stuff on your machine, remove it before proceeding!
The same applies to any use of P2P software: uTorrent, BitTorrent, Vuze, Kazaa, Ares... We don't provide any help for P2P, except for their removal. All P2P software has to be uninstalled or at least fully disabled before proceeding!

Failure to follow these guidelines will result with closing your topic and withdrawning any assistance.

Scan with ZOEK

Please download ZOEK by Smeenk and save it to your desktop.
Temporary disable your AntiVirus and AntiSpyware protection - instructions here.

Right-click on

icon and select

Run as Administrator to start the tool.
Wait patiently until the main console will appear, it may take a minute or two.

In the main box please paste in the following script:

Code:

createsrpoint;
autoclean;
emptyclsid;
emptyalltemp;
shortcutfix;
chrdefaults;
ipconfig /flushdns >>"%temp%\log.txt";b

Make sure that Scan All Users option is checked.
Push Run Script and wait patiently. The scan may take a couple of minutes.
When the scan completes, a zoek-results logfile should open in notepad.
If a reboot is needed, it will be opened after it. You may also find it at your main drive (usually C:\ drive)

Upload it in your next reply.

Bullet Bill · Jan 13, 2016

I've downloaded Zoek but I forgot to turn off my antivirus before I ran it. Do I need to run it again?

TwinHeadedEagle · Jan 13, 2016

No need if it finished without problems.

Bullet Bill · Jan 13, 2016

TwinHeadedEagle · Jan 13, 2016

This is only a part of report, it is not complete.

Bullet Bill · Jan 13, 2016

I've had to download Zoek again because Kaspersky deleted it. I tried to run it again and I got this message

TwinHeadedEagle · Jan 13, 2016

Can you disable Kaspersky while running Zoek? Press cancel on that message.

Bullet Bill · Jan 13, 2016

I've tried it with Kaspersky disabled. Still the same message

TwinHeadedEagle · Jan 13, 2016

Can you delete Zoek and C:\Zoek folder and then try to download and run Zoek again.

Bullet Bill · Jan 13, 2016

I've deleted Zoek, downloaded again, and run it again. I got the message again

TwinHeadedEagle · Jan 13, 2016

What happens when you click Cancel?

When opening Zoek you should get a window like this:

Bullet Bill · Jan 13, 2016

When I run Zoek as an administrator I get this

When I click run script I get this

Nothing happens when I click cancel. It just closes the program.

It was working fine when I first downloaded it and ran it, but then Kaspersky deleted it and it doesn't seem to work second time

TwinHeadedEagle · Jan 13, 2016

Excellent. Run it as Administrator, copy given script in the white field and click Run Script.

Bullet Bill · Jan 13, 2016

...... sorry about that. I should have paid better attention. It's running now

Very good. How is the situation now?

Bullet Bill · Jan 14, 2016

Chrome still goes straight to Yahoo

TwinHeadedEagle · Jan 14, 2016

Scan with Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

Please re-run Farbar Recovery Scan Tool to give me a fresh look at your system.

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).
Make sure that Addition and Shortcut.txt options are checked.
Press Scan button and wait.
The tool will produce three logfiles on your desktop: FRST.txt, Shortcut.txt and Addition.txt.

Please attach them into your next reply.
