hello. I wonder if I have a virus on my computer and host computer. Both computers have internet sending and receiving but IE always shows the screen about dns or server error. Sometimes the host computer works but not my laptop or vice versa.
Other times the IE works but only for a few minutes, then i get the server error page.
The IE seems to only work after system restore, but even after system restore the problem comes back . It's been like this for a week. I don't want to keep running System Restore everytime I turn on my computer. This morning even the System Restore didn't help at all. I have run Spyware Doctor and Ad Aware. Here is the hijackthis log. Thanks for your time and help.

Brief expert summary and practical plan for a persistent DNS/server-error problem that only clears after System Restore:

Symptoms like intermittent "DNS/server not found" pages that sometimes disappear after a restore most often point to persistent malware that changes network behavior (hosts file or router DNS, LSP/Winsock hooks, rogue services/startup EXEs) rather than a transient ISP glitch. The HijackThis output posted by (many temp- and Windows-root startup entries, unknown services and BHOs) fits that pattern.

Triage and cleanup approach (safe sequence): isolate the affected machine(s) from the LAN to avoid spreading. Use a clean PC to download current removal tools if the infected PC cannot update. Boot into Safe Mode (or use a rescue/boot CD) and run at least two different, reputable scanners (one anti-virus, one anti-spyware) allowing automatic cleaning. After initial removals, use Autoruns or msconfig to disable obviously malicious startup items — but avoid blind deletion in HijackThis without knowing what an entry does.

Repair common networking damage (after malware is removed): reset the TCP/IP stack, Winsock and DNS cache to undo hijacks:

netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt
netsh winsock reset
ipconfig /flushdns

Note: the Winsock reset command requires an OS build that supports it (XP SP2 and later); if unavailable, use a known winsock-repair tool or expert manual repair. Reboot after running these commands.

System Restore note and aftercare: System Restore can reintroduce or preserve infected components. Once cleaning succeeds, temporarily turn System Restore off to delete old points, reboot, then re-enable and create a fresh restore point. Also check the router for changed DNS settings (factory-reset and set a new admin password if multiple devices were affected). If infections return repeatedly or several machines remain compromised, a full OS reinstall is the safest long-term solution. These steps build on 's scanner advice and 's host/temp cleanup suggestions.

Hi, you definetly have some nasties in there.

First run these two online scans. Make sure they are set to clean automatically:

TrendMicro's HouseCall
ActiveScan

You should try to delete any files that these scanners are unable to clean.

You are also running Hijackthis from a Temp directory, please create a new folder called 'Hijackthis' in your C:\ drive and put Hijackthis.exe in there.

From the new location run a scan then post the new log.

commented: Good advice -- dlh +2

ok, here is the logfile after I ran the programs and moved the hijack this into program files.

hi again. This problem is related to the other question. I did a lot of virus scanning and registry delting. and it somewhat helped. But there was also this thing where certain websites wouldn't work instead. Like if I frequently visit a page like even aol or my college website. It shows the server dns page.

Open Windows Explorer, click on Tools, Folder Options, View, and select "Show hidden files and folders," and uncheck "Hide protected operating system files".

For every user account listed under C:\Documents and Settings, delete the entire contents of these folders:
Cookies
History
Local Settings\Temp
Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

Delete the entire content of
C:\Windows\Temp folder
C:\Temp folder

Do a search for *.tmp and delete everything found

Then, go to http://members.aol.com/toadbee/hoster.zip to download Hoster

Run it and press "Restore Original Hosts," press "OK," and Exit Program.

Go to Windows Update to get the Critical Updates for your system. Hold off on SP2, however, until your sytem has been cleaned up.

Reboot, close all browser windows, scan with HJT, and post a new log please.
