Everytime I type in a url in the address bar it won't go to the page. It will have http:///?%20www.web page name. I'm unable to go to any webpage at all. I have ran ad aware, spybot S & D. Have searched all search engines. But no such thing on them. Can you help me? :rolleyes:

It sounds like your browser has been hijacked; get Hijackthis from here:

http://www.merijn.org/files/hijackthis_sfx.exe

Close all browser windows, scan with hijackthis, save the log, copy and paste it here in this thread.

Remember to close all browser windows when scanning with hijackthis (you had IE and Mozilla open when you did that scan).

Do you have any idea what this is?
C:\Documents and Settings\Brian\Application Data\bf????.exe <---

I strongly suspect it's not good; if you're not sure, find it, right-click on it, go to Properties, and post all the info on it you can find.

Scan with HJT and have it fix the following entries:

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [starter] scvhosting.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Win32 Configuration] videosd32.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Cryptographic Service] C:\WINDOWS\System32\qnjtji.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [starter] scvhosting.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Win32 Configuration] videosd32.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [starter] scvhosting.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunOnce: [Win32 Configuration] videosd32.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [DKTime] C:\WINDOWS\System32\dktime.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Lptdibpi] C:\WINDOWS\System32\m?iexec.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [starter] scvhosting.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Win32 Configuration] videosd32.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [Win32 Configuration] videosd32.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\RunOnce: [starter] scvhosting.exe
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.windupdates.com
O15 - Trusted Zone: *.windupdates.com (HKLM)
O15 - Trusted IP range: 213.159.117.133
O15 - Trusted IP range: (HKLM)

Close all windows other then hijackthis before hitting the Fix button

Reboot into Safe Mode

Go to the indicated folder and delete the highlighted files:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\qnjtji.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\dktime.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\m?iexec.exe

Do a search for, and delete any instances found of:
videosd32.exe
scvhosting.exe


Reboot normally, close all browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log please.
