Another about:blank hijack

Question

Can anyone give me some step-by step advice to get rid of this?

All the fixes give in the forum seem very specific to each case so if someone could run through the solution with me that would be great!

Here's my log:

I don't see any problems in your log. Try doing a scan after your next reboot & post that log here. You can also clear out your temp internet files too.

ok, did all that,

everything seemed to be going fine then, 10mins later I was going to a website when it jumped to the about:blank page. My home page is still as it should be. The Backup program has appeared in my recent programs list, is that from making the previous changes or should it not be there?

Any ideas, here's my log,

Thanx for the help so far! :cheesy:

hmmm,

i've also noticed spyware blaster will not run, an error message says it is corrupted due to a virus or hard disk problem. When I try to download Housecall I get an error message and internet explorer closes down! Are these connected?

do you mean with Hijack this or Adaware, or another way as I've tried these two, maybe I did it wrong!

I've managed to get my homepage back for the time being, however, when I type an invalid url, it reverts back to the about:blank page, the specific address is:

http://s1di.d8t.biz/index.php?aid=20038

also, here's my log after getting rid of everything that looks suspect.

Here is the fix I was going to post for your previous log, but as things have been deleted, the dll will have changed. You should be able to figure it.

Download and install APM from: http://www.diamondcs.com.au/index.php?page=apm

Close all windows except HijackThis and fix the lines that apply in your log.

In the upper window of APM select explorer.exe
In the lower window find and rightclick the BHO from the HijackThis log
Select Unload DLL and click OK on the prompts that follow.

Reboot and scan with AdAware to remove the txt and html protocol association.

It sounds like you have a similar problem to the one I just fixed. CWS also has a hidden trojan file dll that doesn't show up anywhere. See my thread and that of JohnCT. The trojan disrupts the ability of some activex controls like housecall uses. I don't know enough that I want to tell you how to do it, but I followed Caperjack's instructions to JohnCT and was able to fix it. The file he recommends to download "beta-fix" has been replaced with a new version called findnfix, don't know if it works the same.

thanks for the recommendation bentkey, I tried to download beta-fix by copying the shortcut, but it seems even that doesn't work.

I looked at JohnCT's post but it seems different to my problem.

Anyway, here's my latest progress update.

Everytime I run HJT it no longer finds a suspect DLL file in the BHO list, but everytime I run Adaware it finds a CoolWebSearch file in my System 32 folder, I can't find this file in APM either!

The latest file Adaware found was called jkd.dll. Even though I remove it with Adaware it still comes back under another name, how do I get to the root of this problem?

Thanks for the help!

I haven't used this myself, so am not willing to go through with it.
