Re: about:blank.... kill me
 

Download About:buster from http://malwarebytes.biz/AboutBuster.zip and unzip it to your desktop.

Download & instal Adaware from here
& update it before scanning.
In settings under 'scanning,' have it set to
'scan within archives,'
'scan active processes,'
'scan registry,'
'deepscan registry'
'scan my IE Favourites for banned URL's,'
'scan my host's file.'
In 'tweaks' under 'scanning engine' set it to 'unload recognised processes during scanning.'
Also in 'tweaks' under 'cleaning engine' set it to 'Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion' & 'let Windows remove files in use at next reboot.'

Click here for instructions on how to boot into safe mode.

Boot up in safe mode.

Open Task Manager & end process on the following, if there:

sdkqt32.exe
nditew.exe

Find & delete those two files manually.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

Run About:buster, click OK, Start, and OK again to start the scan. Let it scan and fix everything it finds.

Still in safe mode, do a full system scan with Adaware. When the scan is finished select *next* & place a check in the boxes to the left of what is found & click *next* again. Let it delete those entries.

Reboot your computer in normal mode.

Waht is this:? C:\DOCUME~1\ALLUSE~1\APPLIC~1\Pribi\Pribi.exe
Please find it and right click on it. Choose Properties. CLick the version tab and get the manufacture and original filename please. Maybe that will give a clue.

Re: about:blank.... kill me
 

k, thanks I will take a shot at that when I can get to his machine. We are both CAD/CAM operators and fairly busy, whenever he gets to a breaking point on one of his jobs I'll try this out for him. Will post new HJT log when completed, thanks.
