The only thing I see that's weird is that this keeps coming back:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cus...//www.yahoo.com

Have HJT fix it (again) and, if you haven't done so already, get Spywareblaster and/or SpywareGaurd (links in DMR's sig), update them, and have them enable all protection.

Good luck and keep clean!

You know, even though I often see people recommending that the "red.clientapps" entries should be fixed by HJT, I've never found any information which indicates that those URLs are really "nasties" at all. Additionally, if you run an nslookup on "red.clientapps.yahoo.com", it does report that URL to be associated with valid IP addresses belonging to Yahoo.

:lol: Ok, I had HJT take care of "red.clienttaps". I did a search on it and never dod find anything malicious about it. I have Yahoo Messenger and Toolbar and use Yahoo for mail and my default web page, so maybe that's where it comes from.

I have Spyware Blaster, AVG, Spyware Doctor, CWS Shredder, SPYbot S&D, Adaware SE and SysClean. I have them all updated and those that run while I'm on are running.

Looks like this is the end guys. Thanks loads!!!


Merry Christmas!

Yeah- from what I've seen, I think that's really what's going on.

I recommend a conversion of IE to firefox, and shutting off active X on your computer as previously mentioned. Then run spyware checks and ccleaner (crapcleaner), and stiner etc. Then run a hijack log. There should be no nasties. If so back up all files you need, and reformat.
is this a dream



We should all respect Dani, shes the admin and she does a damn good job!. Not to forget the rest of the mod's =)
