Nice troubleshooting in this thread — ’s combination of an automated removal tool plus the manual cleanup reported by is exactly the right pattern for this class of Internet Explorer hijack. The immediate homepage problem was cleared, but these infections commonly leave persistent leftovers (broken ActiveX/DPF references, altered startup entries, or DNS/hosts changes) that can cause recurring symptoms later. A short post‑cleanup checklist will help make the machine truly clean.

Verify network/DNS and hosts: make sure TCP/IP isn’t pointing at unknown DNS servers and inspect the hosts file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts) for anything unexpected.
Repair network stack: open an elevated command prompt and run:
```
netsh winsock reset
```
then reboot.
Look for orphaned startup items and services with msconfig or a trusted startup tool (Autoruns). Remove entries only after confirming they’re malicious or unnecessary, and export the registry or create a restore point first.
Clean orphaned browser components: check Internet Explorer’s Downloaded Program Files and remove any DPF/ActiveX you don’t recognize. Reset IE security settings to defaults if needed.
Full scans and rootkit checks: run up‑to‑date anti‑malware scanners (including an offline/rescue scan if available) to detect hidden components. If DLL errors persist, they’re often just broken references — remove the orphaned entry or reinstall the legitimate software that supplied the DLL rather than copying files from unknown sources.

If homepage or DNS hijacks return after reboot, or if multiple system areas are altered, consider restoring from a known clean backup or a clean OS install. Always back up important data and create a fresh restore point after confirming the system is clean.

Ok. Please do the following & we will see if we can get it sorted for you.
Download CWShredder from & run it. Select the fix button & it will get rid of everything related to CoolWebSearch. Close ALL windows, including IE, before running CWShredder. REBOOT.

You must follow this next part exactly. There is an auto-fix for MSITstore from master-search, but I have just found out that it actually installs a trojan at the same time as 'fixing' the problem.

The following is the best fix at the moment for MSITstore until M$ releases a patch to plug the breach.
Note that the infected files are still on your system, but this will stop the homepage from being hijacked.

First make sure all hidden files are show use this link for help
here.

Next boot into safe mode following the instructions

Run HijackThis while still in safe mode and have it FIX:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = mk:@MSITStore:C:\WINDOWS\start.chm::/start.html

Next-empty your Temporary Internet Files;

Click "Start" => "Settings" => "Control Panel" => "Internet Options" => "General Tab". Click "Delete files" and check the "Offline Content" box and click OK.

Now, disable Active X:

Go to "Internet Options" => "Security", press "default level", then OK.

Now press "Custom Level."
In the ActiveX section, set the first two options ("Download signed and unsigned ActiveX controls") to "Prompt", and "Initialize and Script ActiveX controls not marked as safe" to "Disable".

Next, open Notepad

1. With notepad, open start.chm. its in your c:\windows folder. Delete everything in it, and save.
2. Set your homepage in Internet Options.
3. Lastly, in C:\Windows, change the property of start.chm to read-only.

Reboot into normal mode and run hijackthis, don't connect to the net, place a check next to the following:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = mk:@MSITStore:C:\WINDOWS\start.chm::/start.html

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

03 - Toolbar: (no name) - {0E1230F8-EA50-42A9-983C-D22ABC2EED3B} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [websx] C:\Program Files\websx\int167078.exe -auto

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [system32.dll] C:\WINDOWS\system\systeminit.exe (This one may not exist as CWShredder should remove it)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Internet Optimizer] "C:\Program Files\Internet Optimizer\optimize.exe"

C:\Program Files\Internet Optimizer< this one

Reboot normally after doing the above then post a fresh log plz.

This is an updated fix for MSITstore if you want to undo what you have done.

Run CWShredder & fix all it finds.

download attachment to this post and save it as msit.reg
Doubleclick the file you saved and confirm you want to merge it with the registry.

Done.

I had to go back and delete the start.chm file again. Afterward, it deleted itself (it seems.) Point being, it seems to have fixed the issue. Thanks again.

crunchie 990 Most Valuable Poster Team Colleague Featured Poster · Answer 4 · 2004-04-29T11:34:05+00:00

Update!! New fix again.

Please download this to fix the start.chm hijack.

startchmfix

Download it. Run it and extract the folder to the desktop preferably.

Open the folder after extracted.

Double click the fix.bat

Please make sure all Internet Explorers are closed.

Only run it once or you will lose the backups although they shouldn't be needed.

Notepad will open at the end with a message and the bad file listing at the end. Please post that bad file listing line here.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries=

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [PCDRealtime] C:\WINDOWS\realtime.exe

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions & navigate to & delete

C:\WINDOWS\realtime.exe< this file.

Reboot normally. If you post another log could you please make sure there are no spaces like there are in this one as it makes it too hard to read. Thanx.

I occasionally get hijacked when browsing.
