I've been infected with the dreaded "about:blank" hijacker. It started about two weeks ago and I've tried about 4 or 5 different programs to get rid of this and nothing's worked. Within the past couple days my Internet speed is getting slower and slower. Here are the Hijackthis results:

================================================

Any help to get rid of this spyware would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

adinezza,

Hi and welcome to the Daniweb forums :).

-

Download CWShredder 2.14 from here. Run it and press the *fix,* not scan and allow it to clean the infection. Close all browser and explorer windows before hitting the fix button.

-

Download, unzip to your desktop About:Buster and run it, then:

1. Click "Update".
2. Click "Check For Update"

(If no new version is available, skip to step #4.)

3. Click "Download Update", and wait for it to be installed.
4. Click "Start".

(Wait for the initial ADS scan to complete.)

5. Click "Yes", to shutdown any IE session currently open.

(Wait for the about:blank scan to complete.)

6. Click "Ok", to scan once more.
7. Click "Yes", to shutdown any IE sessions currently open.
8. Click "Yes", to begin the second pass.

9. Click "Save log", and post this log back along with your new log.
10. Click "Exit".
11. Click "Exit".
12. "Reboot"..


===============

Go to www.trendmicro.com, and then:

1. Click "Free Online Scan".
2. Click "Scan now, it's free".

It'll take a few minutes to download (especially with a dialup connection), so be patient. When it's down:

1. Select all available drives.
2. Check(tick) "Auto Clean".
3. Click "Scan".

When it completes, post back the full filename of any files that cannot be cleaned or deleted.

===============

Run HiJackThis then:

1. Click "Open the Misc Tools Section"
2. Click "Open Process manager"

-

Next, while holding down the CTRL key, locate (if present) and click on (highlight) each of the following:

C:\WINDOWS\ietf32.exe

Now double-check and make sure that only those item(s) above are highlighted, then click "Kill process". Now, click "Refresh", check again, and repeat this step if any remain.

===============

Still in HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============


When your done, rescan your system and make sure the following isn't present:

N3 - Netscape ... 5CSBWeb_01.src (or) 5CSBWeb_02.src

If it is, then fix that entry again; sometimes it'll take more than one pass. The actual entry is ok, and won't be deleted, it's the java wrapper marked in red that needs to be removed.

===============

Locate and delete the following item(s), if present. Make sure your able to "view system and hidden files/ folders:"

Note that some of these file(s)/folder(s) may or may not be present. If present, and cannot be deleted because they're 'in use', try deleting them in "Safe Mode".

Reboot.

===============

After rebooting your PC, rescan with hijackthis and post a new log.
Let me know how things are now.

You may want to uninstall Aluria from your PC as they have teamed up with a well known Adware company, WhenU. Read the following if you wish; http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,11723816~mode=flat

crunchie,
Thanks for your help. I followed your advice, but it appears that some of the spyware is on my system. I ran the CWShredder program, and Hijackthis, but I couldn't get the trendmirco.com online scan to work. Everytime I tried it from IE, IE crashed, and when I tried installing the activeX components on Netscape, it said it couldn't find where to install the plugin in the Netscape folder. I tried telling it to look in every subfolder in the Netscape folder, but no luck.

Here are the results from CWShredder:

I really appreciate you're help even if I can get rid of this stuff.


Thanks

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here and do the following:

Run both CWShredder and About:Buster again.

Still in safe mode run HiJackThis, click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:
