Browser hijacked by About:Blank

Jun 19th, 2004
I have been dealing with this for two weeks and it keeps coming back. I have XP Pro, IE 6, Norton Security 2002 - NAV and Firewall. I have run CWShredder, Spyboot, and Adaware. They all fix things, and then either overnight or on reboot, or for just no reason at all, the About:Blank comes back. Here is my latest hijackThis log. I can't see anything that is causing the problem.

Thanks!~

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {EBD0F33D-CBB3-42D8-8B3F-294C93E4A70F} - (no file)

It appears to working okay for now. But I have thought that at least 5 times in the past two weeks. If it returns in the morning, should I repost a new log here in the same thread? Thanks so much for you help!

Yes. Make sure everything is set to run in Msconfig too.
Start/Run & type in Msconfig, go to the startup tab & make sure all there are set to run at startup.

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' :

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = file://C:\DOCUME~1\Barbara\LOCALS~1\Temp\sp.html

I have done a lot since I last posted. Using reglite, going to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows and double clicking on AppInit_Dlls found the .dll that was apparently causing my problem. It was c:\windows\system32\kbdfhnc.dll However it took me a while to delete it. Through the advice of a friend, I checked ownership of the file, and it had no owner. I made myself an owner and was able to delete it.

This morning I had no about:blank. However, I do not trust this 'evil', so I am posting another hijackthis log to see if you think I am clean.

Thanks for responding!
