[RESOLVED] Megaclick Malware!

[treyinstereo]

Hey all,

I recently downloaded the Megaupload.com MegaManager and Megaupload Toolbar. It claims to have no spyware or malware, but it certainly does. Supposedly this only effects your computer if you install the Toolbar, which they sneak in to look like a "Terms of Agreement" kind of thing.

Whenever I enter a URL that I can't connect to, ex. www.dashkkjasdhfkjsdf.com, I am redirected to:

Here is a copy of my HJT log --

BTW, did you uninstall Megaupload?

Yup, I uninstalled it, even went through the registry and hard drive to find any files containing 'Megaclick' or 'Megaupload' and got rid of them. This is one annoying little piece of malware. Will be following your instructions strictly and will post back in a few. Thanks!

Good luck.

Still getting redirected to http://www.megaclick.com/404/error

[treyinstereo]

Hello,

I have solved the issue. Although I had uninstalled Megaupload and the Megaupload toolbar from my computer, gone through the registry and hard drive and deleted any files that involved Megaupload or Megaclick, I noticed that in Firefox, when right-clicking on the toolbars, I still had the option of enabling the Megaupload Toolbar. This was tricky to find, because it was not listed in the normal Firefox addons. I re-enabled the toolbar, clicked on one of the scroll-down menus, and selected Uninstall Megaupload Toolbar.

This eliminated my problem. Thanks for your time and help

FOR ANYONE WITH THIS PROBLEM (Firefox Users):
- Open up Mozilla Firefox
- Right click on the Navigation Toolbar (Toolbar with URL, Google Search...)
- Check 'Megaupload Toolbar'
- Click on the drop-down menu next to the Megaclick logo
- Select 'Uninstall Megaupload Toolbar'
- When prompted to restart Mozilla Firefox, accept

Hope that helps anyone with this problem

[Broni]

That was a very nice self-help
Sorry, I couldn't respond earlier.
