SOUR virus removal help needed:

[Jsch38]

I Have the Sour internet redirect virus on a machine.
I would like some additional suggestions on removing the virus.
Here is what I have done.

1. Check host files-clean with no changes.
2. Checked Device Drives-no problems found.
3. Checked WIn system 32 drivers folder-no problems found.
4. Ran Malware Bytes-no issues found.
5. Ran Esung Reg. cleaner. Removed all errors found.
6. Ran CC Cleaner-removed all issues discovered.

Thanks in Adavnce,

Hitman Pro, check for 0 size drivers, GMER, TDSSKiller......

Try scanning the infected HDD with a boot disc (Kaspersky rescue disc perhaps or any one that works). It sounds like you may have a rootkit. Other utilities such as TDSSKiller, GMER, and Hitman pro should help also. If you are going to scan from within the OS do it in safe mode. Also, now may be a good time to give D7 a look.

You'll be wanting to do an offline scan on that, I'd recommend using Kaspersky's live cd. If you're working remotely you could try using TDSSkiller or GMER, but offline scan would be best.

Give D7 a try. I love it.

Combofix has literally never let me down ever for redirection viruses. I highly recommend it. Try it in safe mode w/networking if you have to.

Thank You for all the help.
I did try to run combo fix in safemode.
Win Xp would not run in safe Mode. Got BSOD. CHKDSk and SFC commands did not fix the BSOD in safe mode.
I saved all data using Fab back-up and did a Nuke and pave on Win XP.
Turns out that machine runs faster then it did before.
Thanks Again
