Everytime I type in a url in the address bar it won't go to the page. It will have http:///?%20www.webpagename. I'm unable to go to any webpage at all. I have downloaded IE 6.0 and reloaded with no change. I'm a novice and I'm lost. Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Your log shows signs of at least a few infections, but there's something you need to take care of before we begin the cleaning process:

C:\DOCUME~1\ADMINI~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\HijackThis.exe

The log entry above indicates that you are running HJT from within a Temp/Temporary folder. You need to create a folder for HJT outside of any Temp/Temporary folders and move it there now. A folder such such as C:\HijackThis or C:\Spyware Tools\HijackThis will do.

One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if HijackThis (and other data that you care about) is living in those Temp folders, it will be erased along with everything else!
Temp/Temporary folders are just that- Temporary. They are not meant for permanent storage, as their contents are often delete in the course of troubleshooting, by running disk clean-up utilities, etc.


After moving HijackThis to a safe location, please do the following:

You will need to close/quit all web browser programs and disconnect from the Internet for some of the following, so you should print out the following instructions or save them into a text file with Notepad.


1. Run at least two or three of the following online anti-virus/anti-spyware scans and let them fix what they can:

http://www.kaspersky.com/scanforvirus.html
http://housecall.trendmicro.com/
http://us.mcafee.com/root/mfs/default.asp?cid=9914
http://www.pandasoftware.com/active...n_principal.htm
http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/
http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/licence.php


2. Download and install these two utilities:

ewido Security Suite - http://www.ewido.net/en/download/
Microsoft Anti-Spyware beta - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...&displaylang=en

- Open ewido. If you receive a warning message saying "Database not found"; just click "OK" for this. Next, in the main screen, click "Update" and click "Start Update". After the update process completes, exit from Ewido.

- Open MS Antispyware beta. Make sure the "AntiSpyware Autoupdater" feature is enabled, and that it has downloaded the most current antispyware updates. Close the program after you've verified this.


4. Reboot into Safe Mode (you get to the safe mode boot option by hitting the F8 key as your computer is starting up).


5. Run ewido and MS Antispyware beta consecutively (the order doesn't matter), and have both programs fix whatever they find.
When ewido finds the first malicious object on your system, it will ask you if it should clean it. When it asks this, put a checkmark in the lower left corner of the box that says "Perform action on all infections", then choose clean and click OK.


6. While still in Safe Mode, open Windows Explorer, and in the Folder Options->View settings under the Tools menu, select "show hidden files and folders", and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and "Hide extentions for known file types".

- For every user account listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders (but not the folders themselves):

Important: One of the normal steps in eliminating malicious programs is to entirely delete the contents of all Temp folders. Given that, if any data that you care about is living in those Temp folders, you need to move it to a safe location now, or it will be erased along with everything else!

1. Cookies
2. Local Settings\Temp
3. Local Settings\History
4. Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files

- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Temp folder.

- Delete the entire content of your C:\Windows\Prefetch folder.

Note- If you get any messages concerning the deletion of system files such as desktop.ini or index.dat, just choose to delete those files; they'll be automatically regenerated by Windows if needed. Windows will allow you to delete the versions of those files which exist in sub-folders within the main Temp/Temorary folders, but might not let you delete the versions of those files that exist in the main Temp folders themselves; this is normal and OK.

- Empty your Recycle Bin.

- Reboot normally.


7. Run HijackThis again and post the new log. Also post the scan report log that ewido generated.

My computer had this same problem. It's something called a Layered Service Protocol (LSP) issue (category 'O10' in my HijackThis log) that might happen after removing adware. My steps:

1) Update Lavasaoft's Adaware (www.lavasoft.de)

2) Reboot, start up in Safe Mode (I pressed F8 during start-up to get option to run in Safe Mode)

3) Run Adaware. Reboot. Start in normal mode

4) You can Run HijackThis to see if it picks up any other misc. registry entries

5) Go to http://cexx.org/lspfix.htm and download LSP-fix

6) Run LSP-fix tool --- and you should no longer get the http:///?%20 and it should connect to the internet
