Hi all
I'm new to the club and would like to share a recent problem (not having had any for many years now).
I'm running Windows 8.1 and Panda Free Antivirus. I noticed my machine got infected with the "rdsrv.com/newbidder" malware a few days ago (Firefox Browser). This is not detected by Panda and seems to be one of the nastier pieces of work. I did some research and learned that this bug has been around for quite some time but didn't find any references in this forum.
I'd be very grateful for advice on how to get rid of this pest or at least contain it.
[SOLVED] RDSRV*
Re: RDSRV*
Hi there,
Seems your browser hijacked, use this tool to fix that:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/hijackthis/
After that you can restore all IE settings.
Run>inetcpl.cpl>Advanced(TAB)> Restore&Reset
finally right click on you web browser > properties > Target , check last part of address and remove extra staff
Correct Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"
Incorrect Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe"xcvsdvsa

Re: RDSRV*
Thank you kindly for your prompt replies. I've reset IE and checked Mozilla. I also ran Panda Cleaner (no reports) and haven't seen the dreaded rdsrv redirect today. Hopefully it'll stay away for good.
