Hi,

I want to thank both of you for discussing this problem here, because I had the same harassment on my computer. But with the information in this thread, I managed to get rid of this this small but annoying problem.

Kind regards

adam....

YOur post has become lost in this thread....you shold really have started your own thread....

Close all browser windows - run hijackthis and tick to fix :-

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Configuration Loader] wump.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [Configuration Loader] wump.exe


Reboot then find and delete :-

C:\WINDOWS\System32\wump.exe .... file

-----------------------
drummerboy......caperjack has done a good job cleaning your log.....all the malware has gone

you don't need these running at startup (using resources)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [QuickTime Task] "C:\Program Files\QuickTime\qttask.exe" -atboottime

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot

Otherwise your log's clean.

Hi Guys,

I have a similar problem, I have been following this thread and tried to dowload from merijin.org but the moment I click on merijin.org I get the following error - The page cannot be displayed and the address bar indicates - res://mshp.dll/http_404.htm. Also the following search engines has become my home page from nowhere,http://fastsearch.cc/ydtfs/, http://global-finder.com/cgi-bin/search/go.cgi. I have come across other variants of search engines also like easyfind and finditall etc. When the above problem is encountered the IE6 shuts down and restarts. I even tried downloading the Adware and Spyware from Download.com but the moment I start to download the IE6 indicates an error and shuts down.

Can anyone help?
