All:

Seems that I've been hijacked.
I did all the things I'm supposed to do:
Cleared out the cookies and history - cleared the temp files - got the latest copies of Hijackthis, Adaware, CWShredder and SpyBot. Took everything offline.

Ran Adaware, rebooted. Ran SpyBot - rebooted. Ran CEShredder - rebooted. Ran HJT, rebooted in safe-mode and got rid of the nasties. Everything looked fine. Then got backon-line and everything went back to hell in the same darned handbasket!

At this point, I've spent about 15 hours cleaning and immunizing with no luck. Everytine i get rid of the dll in the BHO line, a new one comes in and takes it plae. i even tried running the dll killer and still got back to where I am. Now, even if I put an address into the IE Address bar, it comes back with the unwanted 'about:blank:' and some stupid search page

PLEASE HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

HJT log follows

You have an old version of hijack this you might wanna update it

The latest version is 1.98.2 and you can get it here:
http://www.softpedia.com/progDownloa...load-5034.html

You can do this now or after you update HJT:
Close all browser windows, scan with HJT, and have it fix the following entries:
C:\WINDOWS\msru.exe
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\rasjl.dll/sp.html#37049

Reboot into Safe Mode and delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\msru.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\rasjl.dll
C:\WINDOWS\system32\ipbd32.dll

Reboot normally, after you've updated HJT, close all browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log.

dlh6213 - Thanks:

I downloaded the new HJT (though I could not finv v1.98, only 1.99) and went through the processes. I think the problem was the msru.exe Although I had tried to get rid of it before, it wasn't until I enabled the system to see hidden files that I was able to get rid of it (INtrestingly enough, even though I would try to erase the 'bad' files using the ms-dos window, it couldn't find it either).

At this point, my current HJT log is as follows.
If you see anything else amiss, please let me know
AND THANKS!!!!!!!!!

My fault, I need to change my link, v.1.99 hasn't been officially released yet and can cause some problems. This site has links to several other sites where you can get 1.98.2:
http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

When you get 1.98.2, make sure you put it in it's own permanent folder (your 1.99 is running from a temp folder).

As far as your log goes, I don't see anything; is your problem gone now?

:mrgreen: It seems to be - thanks for the other link - I'll get 1.98 and hold onto it, though 1.99beta did seem to work just fine.


Many thanks
agavzy

It may have worked for you, but 1.99 isn't meant to be a public release.
Here's the explanation from Merijn (the author of HijackThis):

Aside from that- yes, your log looks clean.
