Help Please DNS Error - HJ log

[cjk4]

So I'm having this problem where I cannot nog on to certain web sites. I get a page can not be displayed along with the Cannot find server or DNS Error Internet Explorer. :sad: I'm not very technical when it comes to the pc. We recently changed our cable service to DSL line with Verizon. So far so good right, wrong, long story short finally got connect and then finally with more tech support and a new modem and wireless router, we can now connect the other pcs and ps2 to this system. seems like every day I have to unplug something reboot and start over. This time they were no help. Hopefully you techies will be. Here is my current hijack log after running ad ware and spybot. Looks like alot of junk too me. But what do I know Besides the fact that I could really use some help. Any help will be greatly appericated.

With the full path to the file name in the topmost textbox, and click the Red X. For the confirmation message that will appear, you will need to click Yes; A second message will ask to Reboot now? Click Yes and let the system reboot.

Whenever you scan with HJT, be sure all browser windows are closed. Now, close all browser windows, scan with HJT, and have it fix the following entries:

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Admilli Service] C:\Program Files\Admilli Service\AdmilliServ.exe, if found
If you did not put this into your Trusted Zone, have HJT fix it:

I overlooked this one before, sorry. Close all browser windows, scan with HJT, and have it fix the following:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [mediamotor.exe] C:\WINDOWS\mmups.exe

Reboot into Safe Mode
Go to C:\WINDOWS and delete mmups.exe

Reboot normally.

You have several processes running that don't really need to be all the time, you can either disable them or set them to start manually instead of automatically. This will help your computer run a bit more efficiently. To get more info on processes and recommended settings, check these sites:
http://startup.iamnotageek.com/
http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/servicecfg.htm
Caution: keep track of any changes you make in Services so you can undo them if problems arise. You shouldn't change more than one or two at a time so that if there is a problem, you know what caused it.

And here's some additional info on 'CTSvcCDA.EXE' http://www.liutilities.com/products/wintaskspro/processlibrary/ctsvccda/

That's all I see, though I may have overlooked something again. I'm not sure what could be causing your DNS error. Hopefully someone else will have some ideas.

To help protect your computer, you should install SpywareBlaster and/or SpywareGaurd. Links to both can be found in this thread:

Thanks for the help. I've often wondered why all those things are running in the processes.
I am Now ABLE to log onto the sites that kept giving me the dns errors previously. Verizon tech support re-set something at their terminal (so I was told) and this fixed the problem. (Think they just got tired of me calling them:-) Again Thanks so much. Happy New Year.

Glad to hear everything is working properly :)

Remember to keep all your protection updated and enabled :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR to you too :)
