Question

Greetings,:cry:
I have a fairly new HP Pavillion (WIndows XP Home Edition SP 1) with Norton Internet Security installed. The Norton was turned off for a brief while (networking problem - the "network" is 2 machines connected via crossover). I'm getting all kinds of Norton windows to permit/block access for a bunch of programs (dpi.exe, IEhost.exe, etc.) whenever I run IE. Am attaching the Hijack This log. Help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately not... :(

Ok, first- download and run CWShredder (from the author of HJT).

Then run HJT again and have it fix the following:

- Reboot into safe mode (hit the F8 key just as Windows first starts).

- Open Windows Explorer. In the Tools->Folder Options->View tab, select "show hidden files and folders". Deselect the "hide protected operating system files" option.

- Find and delete the following files/folders:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\IEHost.exe
C:\Program Files\ClearSearch
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Clk7ubTz.exe
C:\WINDOWS\uptodate.exe
msuacct.exe
C:\WINDOWS\System32\dp-him.exe
C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate
C:\Program Files\Web_Rebates

- Go to your C:\documents and settings\owner\local settings\temp folder and delete all of the contents of that folder (but not the folder itself)

- In your Internet Options control panel:
delete all cookies
Empty all Temporary Internet files (including "offline content")

- Empty your Recycle Bin

- Reboot normally

- Run HJT again and post the resulting log

My fingers are crossed so tight it's cutting off circulation. This is all quite an education (along with frustration).

Thanks in advance!!:cheesy:

Hope you don't mind caperjack :) .

Just a bit of housekeeping now. 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 & click 'fix checked':

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [0fp.exe] C:\documents and settings\owner\local settings\temp\0fp.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [2P6WFAX43ZHE7C] C:\WINDOWS\System32\PgpXq.exe

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\documents and settings\owner\local settings\temp folder contents

C:\WINDOWS\System32\PgpXq.exe

In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

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

Just noticed you have an archaic version of hijackthis. Please download the latest version (1.98) before rescanning.

Don't mind! any time :)
I was thinking that the removal tool got rid of the entries!

hijacked - ad aware (and more)
