Hi !

My home page is hijacked to http://www.searchportal.info/10032/ web page. I did the following : I checked show all hidden files on the windows menu and turned off system restore , started in safe mode and ran, Norton antivirus 2003, spybot S & d , Ad-Aware personal SE, CCleaner, CWShredder,spy subtract and Macafee avert stinger, (all latest version). when I restarted the computer, for a moment I thought the problem is gone for the good but after opening the IE a couple of times the above home page reappeared .Just a week ago, before this latest problem I had a different hijacker the search for........ about blank. But I was able to remove that by running CWShredder and with the assistance of posts on this website. Please help me remove this nasty bug , Do you want me to post HJT log ?I am using mozilla for the time being,

[dlh6213]

[caperjack]

Here is the HJT log, if you do not mind me asking, how do I know that I am getting expert advice or instructions from one of your tech people , not some one else who is just a visitor to the site ? Thanks

one way is to check out the # of post made by the responder .its under there user name.you know if they have been here for awhile

[caperjack]

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.
Unzip HijackThis into this folder. When you run HijackThis from this folder and have it "Fixed checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary.

[caperjack]

Have Hijack This fix the following by placing a check in the appropriate boxes and selecting fix checked. Make sure all browser and all Windows Explorer windows are closed before fixing.

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.searchportal.info/10032

These are optional ,as they are not needed running at startup

O4 - Startup: PowerReg SchedulerV2.exe

O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE

Now reboot into safe mode and delete the following files and folders if found .

C:\WINDOWS\inetxxx\..........delete this folder if found

to delete the above files and folder you will need to do the following
go to
Show hidden files & folders

"Fix Checked"...Reboot to SAFE mode to delete files
How to start computer in safe mode

reboot computer and post a new log

did exactly what you said except I did not delete the two optional registries that you mentioned and I also turned off the system restore before starting on safe mode. On safe mode I found the folder c:\windows\inetxxx and deleted it.when I restarted on normal mode 2 error messages came up

1) windows cannot search for c:\windows\inetxxx\services.exe, please make sure you spelt it correctly.......blablabla
when I click ok for that

2) windows cannot find c:\windows\inetxxx\services.exe in the registry,make sure you remove it from the registry or somthing

ran HJT and here is the new log

Here is the new log, I did not download trojan hunter , honestly I am scared to death about downloading anything off the net after this, hope my norton keeps the viruses away

another thing I have noticed is my font sizes of the log in window (when you restart) and all the icons of the desk top got a bit smaller, I think (do not know whether it is an illusion) but I have a feeling they are a bit bigger before, and also the computer is a bit slower to boot up and when shutting down and also when I double click to open a new programe , again this is my just my feeling but probably its normal, Thanks

[caperjack]

log looks ok to me ,have you reset you home page to the orginal .

[DMR]

log looks ok to me...

Agreed- log looks clean.

However, HJT isn't the definitive detection/removal tool for all possible problems you might be having; you might have issues which need to be addressed with utilities other than HJT.

[olivia]

log looks ok to me ,have you reset you home page to the orginal .

Thanks guys, yes I reset the homepage now,looks fine for now, see what happens. Thanks

[caperjack]

Yes, and make sure to keep all of your anti-spyware and anti-virus programs as up-to-date as possible; new updates for many of these programs can be released quite frequently. Also- use Windows' Automatic Update function to keep current on all critical fixes/patches from Microsoft.
