code 80073EFE and browser hijacking
Hi,
I get code 80073EFE when trying to run Windows Update. As well, I get random page redirects in Firefox and some websites I cannot access at all, they're consistently redirected. hxxp://www.phoenixviewer.com is one, though I know for a fact the site is legit and up and running as I can access parts of it if I know the direct URL.
This web page: hxxp://dl3.avagate.net/search.php just randomly opened as I was typing this post.
This is my MalawareBytes log run last night:

Alright then...things look pretty good now. It's my bet that your intermittent access to the web site you mentioned may have just been peculiar to the particular browser. If you should have the same thing occur again with that web site, be sure you clear the browser cache and delete cookies. You can change settings in both browsers, FF and IE to empty the cache when you close the browser.
You can delete these now:
DDS.scr
DDS.txt
Attach.txt
TDSSKiller and related logs
Next, please click start-->run...then copy and paste the Bold text below into the run box and click "OK":
ComboFix /Uninstall
Performing this function will uninstall Combofix, delete its related folders and files, reset your clock settings, hide file extensions, hide the system/hidden files and resets System Restore again for you automatically.
To assist in the prevention of malicious software intrusion and infections:
Please remember to keep antivirus software on board and always use it's real time protection feature. Run a complete system scan at least once a week...preferably in Safe mode.
If your antivirus program is a licensed version that is about to expire, you can consider using one of these available free on the public domain:
Microsoft Security Essentials
AntiVir Personal Edition Classic
Avast! 4 Home Edition
Those of us in the online safety/security community have tried and tested these programs to determine their abilities. Having in mind, nothing is ever a guarantee regarding computer security, these programs nevertheless, combined with the rest of these recommendations are certain to have an impact in helping to keep your system running free and clear. I personally have been completely satisfied from having tested and used each one of those at one time or another.
Windows Vista and Windows 7 have a software firewall built in and activated by default. And, just as with Windows XP, it's not quite the best defense, although it is a little better than it's predecessor.
Below you can choose from several of the freeware Firewalls available on the public domain. Even though you may have a Firewall already installed, keep this list handy should you choose not to renew your subscription for whatever reason.
You should always have at least (but not more than ) one of these types of third party firewalls running on board:
Sunbelt Personal Firewall
Zone Alarm Beware This download includes the Ask Toolbar...The ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker toolbar is powered by "Ask.com". The "Ask" search engine will cause "targeted" ads to be presented to you based upon the content of the web pages you visit, any personally identifiable information you have provided to "Ask.com", or keywords appearing in your search queries. Many security experts consider this type of behavior offensive...Windows 2k/XP/Vista
Outpost Free
Comodo...I highly recommend this firewall, but it may just be best suited for advanced users.
Stay updated with the most recent Windows patches using Microsoft's Windows Update. Make it easy on yourself, and set this feature to Automatic.
Using an alternate browser can reduce your chance of certain infections installing themselves. I recommend installing Mozilla Firefox. If you don't already have "Firefox", please consider installing and using this browser for surfing.
If you still wish to use Internet Explorer, please make sure you install SpywareBlaster (from above) to protect you from most ActiveX infections.
Run CCleaner often. The Yahoo Toolbar is included by default during the installation...if you DO NOT WANT IT, be sure to remove the check from the "Add CCleaner Yahoo! Toolbar and use CCleaner from your browser" option during installation setup or else just download the Slim version (no toolbar...last download link at the bottom of that page)...
Or if you just want to run your on board Disk Cleanup ("Start--> Programs-->Accessories-->System Tools-->Disk Cleanup" ), just open the utility and check off the following:
Downloaded Program Files, Temporary Internet Files, Recycle Bin, and Temporary Files.
Don't forget to check your system's "defragmenter" settings. With Windows Vista, you have the option to set this as a scheduled event. It is best to have your system's "defrag" function scheduled for at least once a week.
So how did I get infected in the first place?
Regards, and Happy Surfing!
