Good progress so far — pointed you in the right direction with up-to-date anti-spyware scans, and ’s advice about running HijackThis from its own folder and scanning with browsers closed was spot on. If you still have trouble connecting to secure sites in Internet Explorer or to Windows Messenger, those symptoms are commonly caused by leftover proxy/LSP/Winsock changes or a stubborn browser add-on rather than a single visible HijackThis entry. The steps below pick up where the thread left off and focus on restoring network/browsing functionality safely.

Try these checks and quick repairs in this order (back up the registry and create a restore point first):

  • Run IE with add-ons disabled to see if a BHO/toolbar is the culprit: start Internet Explorer using the "-extoff" switch. If things work, remove recent toolbars/BHOs.
  • Clear IE SSL state (Internet Options -> Content -> Clear SSL state) and check Tools -> Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings for any proxy entries; disable a proxy unless you intentionally use one.
  • Reset Winsock and flush DNS to restore the socket stack and cached entries:
netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /flushdns

Reboot after those commands.

  • Inspect the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) for unexpected redirects and remove any suspicious lines.

If the problem remains:

  • Use Autoruns (Sysinternals) to examine BHOs, toolbars and startup entries and disable anything unfamiliar. Export any registry keys before deleting.
  • Reinstall/repair Internet Explorer or Windows Messenger if only those applications show problems.
  • Re-scan in Safe Mode with updated anti-spyware/antivirus and then re-run HijackThis; post the new log for review.

One more note: some O9 entries referencing missing msjava.dll can be left alone unless you actually installed Microsoft Java (see ’s caution). After you try the above, post the new HijackThis log and a short description of what changed so the next review can be precise.

Download Adaware, Spybot Search & Destroy, and CWShredder (google search)

Make sure you check for update files for the programs, after you install them. CWShredder is a .exe, so as long as you have the current version, there is no update.

These 3 will remove most of the spyware issues you have. Hijackthis is a good tool, but I only use it as a last resort. Espically if you dont know what your looking for. Don't get me wrong, cause Adaware and spybot have been known to cause trouble, but for the most part they are safe.

J-

thanks for the info. I'll get on that as soon as i can.

If anybody has any further info on this please let me know though.

Just a couple of suggestions. After you've done as jorgensen suggested, put HJT in it's own folder -- right now you're running it from your desktop -- it should be in a folder like c:\hjt\hijackthis.exe. Also, before scanning with HJT, close all browser windows (you had Firefox open). Next time you scan with HJT, have it fix all entries that have (no file). Scan again and post a new log.

Well I did everything, and now this is what I got, so what do ya think? :)

There are a few more things:
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

Are you having a problem or just looking for a check-up? Post another log so the pro's can verify you're clean. :)

Only fix these if you do not have Java Sun.

Hijackthis has a bug that misinterprets some 09 entries.

Well I am having a problem acessing msn messenger, and secure internet sites with internet explorer, which sucks(I now use Fire Fox, because it does work), and I dont know how to fix those problems, so for now i'm just trying to clean my computer so i can get to work on those later on. I'll post another log later on after i fix those problems. (I'm not using my home computer right now.)

Well here's the new list. Sorry it took me so long to post it.
