Hi All,

I'm new here and I'm having some problems with my PC (Win98SE) which I hope you can help with.

I've acquired a toolbar on my IE6 which I can't get rid of, it gives lots of links (see attached image).

I also keep getting items trying to connect to the internet, by opening up the DialUp Connection dialog box.

I've been having a glance around here and it seems that HiJack this is the program to use to give people a good description of what is happening, so my log is below:

Any help or advice would be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Hi Mark, welcome to DaniWeb :D

Please go to Windows Update and get the Critical Updates for Windows and IE.

Go to Add/Remove Programs in your Control Panel and remove WareOut, if present.

Scan with HijackThis and have it fix the following entries:

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {28E53C8A-53A4-6D46-4D28-9C92E80B17F4} - teqq32.dll (file missing)

If the following IP addresses are not related to your ISP, have HijackThis fix this O17 entry as well --
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\VxD\MSTCP: NameServer = 195.95.218.1,85.255.112.7

Close any open windows, other then HijackThis, and hit Fix checked.

Go to the following locations and delete the highlighted file and folder:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LZJZQ.DLL

C:\Program Files\WareOut

Do a search for the following and delete any instances found:

media64.exe
sysmon12.exe
msag.exe
bhoserv.exe
SetupExeDll.exe

If any of these files cannot be deleted, reboot into Safe Mode and try from there.

Empty your Recycle Bin and reboot.

Close and open browser windows, scan with HijackThis, and post a new log please.

Just a couple more things to clean up.

Scan with HJT and have it fix the following entries:

O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm

Remember to close any open windows before hitting Fix checked.

Go to C:\WINDOWS\web and delete related.htm

That's about all I see, are you still having problems?

Hi,

Thanks for the welcome and the quick reply.

I have followed your instructions as stated. I removed the "LZJZQ.DLL". I didn't find any of the other files mentioned "Media64", "sysmon12" etc.

The toolbar has disappeared, which is a good sign.

My updated log is below:

Hi,

I've just removed those two items you suggested.

Everything now seems to be running fine.

I think I now need to have a good read of the "PC Protection Section" to ensure I don't get anything like that again.

Thanks very much for all your help - it's greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Mark
