googleupdate.exe problem

I think I was able to get rid of googleupdate.exe error pop up from my computer. I googled how to get rid of of it but it didn't work for me until I just went to search googleupdate in my start menu. But yeah the googleupdate.exe just started to pop up as error for my computer just recently never happened before. I have google chrome but I never used it so I dont know why I kept getting error boxes recently. I unistalled it and I think the pop up stopped. But the weirdest thing is whenever I try to search ANYTHING on search engines like google or yahoo and I click the link in the search engine, it would take me to RANDOM websites and doesn't take me to the place i clicked. But If I type the web address in my bar like www.computerforum.com it would direct me there. But if i typed computerforum.com in google and clicked the link to get there, it would not take me there but to some random website. So search engines for me are taking me to random websites. Any idea on what is going on?

Thanks in advance.
 
Doing that now, thanks for the suggestion. But anyone else ever experience that problem with googleupdate.exe or the unable to search.

Some users can only use www.computerforum.com. You may be one of those users. However, follow the advice from Respital by running malwarebytes and hijackthis.

It's not just computerfourm.com If I type anything in google or yahoo so any search engine and click the link it will take me to some random website. But when i type the full web address in my bar up top like bestbuy.com or newegg.com it will take me there. But if i type newegg in google and click it, it will take me to some random website.

But yeah the googleupdate.exe error box popped up again. Wow this is so anoying.

I used them, nothing has come up.

So far, my problems for search engines is working again. Wow I think it might be fixed...if it is many thanks.
 
I need to check over your combofix log but it seems everything is ok. I'll post back tomorrow after looking over the log.

While you are waiting, go into add/remove programs and uninstall anything that says viewpoint, such as viewpoint media player and viewpoint manager. It's considered foistware and is not needed on a system.
 
If you haven't done so already, please place the combofix file on the desktop so we may perform the following procedure.



1. Go to Start > Run > type Notepad.exe and click OK to open Notepad.
It must be Notepad, not Wordpad.
2. Copy the text in the below code box

Code: 
KILLALL

File::
c:\windows\system32\wupd.dat

3. Go to the Notepad window and click Edit > Paste
4. Then click File > Save
5. Name the file CFScript.txt - Save the file to your Desktop
6. Then drag the CFScript (hold the left mouse button while dragging the file) and drop it (release the left mouse button) into ComboFix.exe as you see in the screenshot below. Important: Perform this instruction carefully!


CFScript-1.gif


ComboFix will begin to execute, just follow the prompts.
After reboot (in case it asks to reboot), it will produce a log for you.
Post that log (Combofix.txt) in your next reply.
 
Did you run that combofix script? Viewpoint is not considered an infection but its not needed on a computer.
 
It started to run when I dragged the cfscript to comboxfix but after it ran I didn't get a log of anything. Nothing came up.
 
See if you have a file at c:\combofix.txt and post it. Or you can try running it again. It should have created a log if it was completed.
 
You must log in or register to reply here.
