ello, gerardo, first off you gotta get rid of one of those resident AV's; since you are paying for Norton I suggest you fire AVG7. Now.
MyWebSearch Search Assistant - Go to Add/Remove programs and remove MyWebSearch Bar, MyWeb Search and Search Assistant.
Start hijackthis, select Scan Only, place checkmarks against all the entries listed below that still exist, and then press Fix Checked.

If you do not want Tosh to be your main web page fix these two entries:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.toshiba.com/search
O14 - IERESET.INF: START_PAGE_URL=http://www.toshiba.com

Good, say what happens.

hi gebril,
thanks for your quick reply.
I've done the fixes you told me to, but the same thing still happens.

Any other suggestions ?

Here I post you the new hijack log.

Thanks

Gerardo, you still have AVG7 running along with Norton. You MUST remove AVG7 cos two AV services can be very detrimental to performance. Apart from that nothing bad shows in that log - pls try this scan after cleaning...
==Get CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ - and put it in a new folder. You should aim to keep this one for general use. I set it from the installation checkboxes to only open from the recycle bin. It's neater that way.
Now run CCleaner from the recycle bin rclick menu using its default settings [if you set up CCleaner as i suggested, rclicking the bin icon should give you the Open CCleaner option...]. Select the Cleaner icon, press Run Cleaner.
[For future quick temp file cleaning select the options you wish to use via the Windows and Applications tabs]
==Please do an online scan at panda:- http://www.pandasoftware.com/products/activescan?
-select a link to the scan... free online virus scan...., enter a valid? email and follow through, choosing My Computer for a full system scan.
Post the log it produces here.

Hi Gebril,
I've uninstalled avg as you asked me to.
Here's what pandas scan found :

Incident Status Location

Potentially unwanted tool:application/mywebsearch Not disinfected hkey_classes_root\clsid\{147A976E-EEE1-4377-8EA7-4716E4CDD239}
Potentially unwanted tool:Application/MyWebSearch Not disinfected C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\riched20.dll
Thanx
Gerardo

Panda removes viruses it finds, but only points out instances of spyware, but that is good enough.
Delete this file:
C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\riched20.dll
- you should not need this, but here it is anyway: Unlocker 1.8.5
==This one is a general purpose deleter, Unlocker 1.8.5: http://filehippo.com/download_unlocker/
Dclick the exe to install it, unchecking the updater and assistant boxes. It runs from the rclick context menu, and that is cool.

Now to delete this CLSID: you can either navigate to it in your registry and delete the subkey [CLSID entry]:
hkey_classes_root\clsid\{147A976E-EEE1-4377-8EA7-4716E4CDD239}
-or you can run this: Go Start, run, type cmd -and press OK. Paste this line into the window at the prompt and press Enter:

reg delete "hkcr\clsid\{147A976E-EEE1-4377-8EA7-4716E4CDD239}" /f

Close the window. Say how your sys is after a restart....

Hi Gebril,
I found and deleted both items.
The same problem still occours.
Moreover a friend told me to scan my pc with a-scan and found several items and deleted them.
I restarted my pc and IE still pops while system is charging.
What else can i do ???

Thanks
Gerardo

THIS COULD BE YOUR PROBLEM, If you are competent then open REGEDIT...then go to this..always remember to backup your registry first!!

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>SOFTWARE>Mi...
Windows NT>CurrentVersion>Winlogon

In the right panel, locate the following entry:

* On Windows ME, 2000, XP, and Server 2003
Shell = "Explorer.exe "%Windows%\Eksplorasi.exe""
* On Windows NT
Shell = "Explorer.exe "\eksplorasi.exe""

Right-click on this registry entry and choose Modify. Change the value to this

Shell = "Explorer.exe"

IF THAT DOESN'T HELP TRY THIS IT HAS WORKED FOR ME IN THE PAST.

Hi Gerbil,
I'm noticing my Local Area Connection icon is doing something funny. Normally the icon consists of a pc with two bars bellow. Now suddenly the two bars change to a yellow line which divides itself in the middle in 45 degrees. I'm noticing the connection goes slower and when the Local Area Connection icon changes IE shoes me the Cannot find Page dispaly.

Maybe my provider is having problems ? It's strange I cant recall it happenning before.

Thanks,
Gerardo

That entry in registry I asked for is to be cleaned up - every time you enter a URL you go via that site to the site you wished for... I think that's how it works.
So... because it has no name I would have to delete all the keys entries n recreate the valid ones, but it would be simpler for you to go to that key n do it manually:
Go Start, run, type regedit -and press Enter.
Navigate to this key, HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes and lclick Prefixes.
In the right pane select the entry [in the lefthand column] with no name and delete it. If you cannot select the "no name" entry delete the data on the right column. Close the window.
If it sounds difficult I can whip up a script for you.

I did as you said and here's the new post by showkey:

! REG.EXE VERSION 3.0

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\URL\Prefixes
ftp REG_SZ ftp://
gopher REG_SZ gopher://
home REG_SZ http://
mosaic REG_SZ http://
www REG_SZ http://

Okay, here: save this text between the lines as URLPrefixes.reg in a notepad on your desktop, dclick it to run it. And that will remove that entry [the script removes the entire subkey and then recreates it with the correct values]

[you may have to rclick the icon and select Open with> registry editor for it to run....]

Haha!! you beat me to it... ignore my script then.... :) What are things like now?

THANKSSSS GERBILLLL,
I've restarted my pc and the problem's gone !!!!
The local area connection is still looking strange though ??, if its not dangerous i dont want to bother you anymore.
I really appreciate your dedication and pacience, i dont know how to express my grattitude !!!

THANKS AGAIN,
Gerardo

Cool!. I c nothing else that could upset your sys in those startup entries. The icon... dunno, it may just be your ISP's way of showing you a broken search. The icon came with your ISP's software.If you wish to fool around a bit to check no unwanted redirection is occurring try tracing a connection to a local website, one in your town.
Go Start, run, type cmd -press Enter. Type in:
tracert www.google.com -press Enter. You'll get a list of providers which the connection goes thru. Now to google it would have several junctions to go by..... hence try a local website. [don't include the http:// bit]
Anyway, if you are happy, hit the solved button.
Cheers.

This is what i obtained doing the trace, i cant interpretate it.
It's ok ??

Very much thanks,
Gerardo

They look fine... on the way out the pings went quite directly to the target sites via various carriers, and that is fine. Google got bounced about a bit on the way back to you, but no problem there -it's how the web works, packets find the more direct and non-loaded path. You're fine.
Cheers.

Gerbil,
Thank you very much!!!
See you arround here
Bye
Gerardo
