Hello,
I do not know what kind of virus I got; let me explain the
whole picture.
I have installed Windows XP Pro, IE 6.0, Norton Firewall
2002, Norton Antivirus 2002. All software and virus
definition are recently updated and patched.
I have noticed I got a virus because it constantly created
two shortcuts on desktop and in favorites "Buy Pills"
and "Pay Bills". After all my attempts to clean it up I
restored the system on day when computer was clean. But it
is still in. In Internet Explorer on words Mortgage, Loan,
Game, etc. it creates link for example "goto: mortgage".
Link properties: type: "COM/?GO=MORTGAGE", address:
sometimes "http://get-faster.com/?go=mortgage"
or "http://go-acct.com/?go=mortgage". If I click on this
link I get to "http://www.runsearch.com/top/go.php?
qq=mortgage". I check the page source it doesn't content
such a link, if I refresh the page link disappear.
When I enter wrong address in IE address bar, instead of
getting "Page NOT Found", it sends request to
runsearch.com web site that forwards to search-about.com,
for example: "http://www.search-about.net/search.php?
qq=mortgage"
Time to time it opens pop-us from www.8ad.com.
I run Norton Antivirus, Ad-Aware.v6.0.Pro; I scanned
registry and all files on hard drive for words "go-
acct", "runsearch", and nothing.
I would be very happy if you could help me to solve this
problem, or give me any good advice.
Thank you,
vitik
