    Could someone please help me. I picked up something on my computer today and I'm not sure how to get rid of it.

    Everytime I go to sign on the internet it doesn't go to my usual (FoxNews) home page. Instead it goes to about:blank and has a e-search that usually has a different word in the search field. So, what I did is I used adawar SE personal to scan my computer. It found several things that I quarantined, then deleted. Then I used Spybot search and destroy, it found a couple things that I deleted. I did search and download updates on both of these before conducting the search. Anyway, I do all that, then open up explorer and it takes me right back to that about:blank page. What can I do to get rid of whatever is on my computer. Also, in my favorite section, down at the bottome there are four files that I keep deleting that keep showing back up. They are sites about, only sex website, search the web, and seven days of free ****. Please help, my old tactics of adaware SE and Spybot search and destroy is not working. I've done that three different times.

    The only thing suspicious that happened today is I got a message that said:

    "Warning: Windows Firewall detected suspicious network activity on your computer. Malicious software codes try to steal your privacy information, such as credit card numbers, electronic mail accounts, financial data or passwords.

    Do you want to learn how to protect your computer? YES NO. "

    There is no way just to close out of this message, so I checked no. Ever since then I've had these problems.

    Also, when I go to add and delete programs there are some weird things on there that I can't delete. One is a Home Search Assistant, when I click on to remove it it says: Unable to open "http://looking-for.cc/uninstall/HomeSearchAssistant.html" What in the world is that all about? After I did the adaware personal and the spybot search that did not show up on my add and delete programs. However, when I tried to go into explorer next they all came back.

    There is also one that says Search Extender, when I click on it to delete it the same message comes up.

    Please help me, I need to get this fixed whatever it is. This is my work computer and I can't have it acting up like this.

    Please help ASAP.

    Sincerely,

    Grant

    Hi Grant,

    Download HijackThis.exe from here. Save it to a permanent folder (I create a new folder in C:\ named HJT). Open and click scan, then save log. Once it is saved it will open in notepad. Select all from the edit button, copy and paste the results here. Don't fix anything with it yet!

    Thank you, I'm at home with a headache that I've had for two + weeks today. I will do that as soon as I get back into work. Should be either tonight or tomorrow morning. I will post the results on here as soon as I'm done.

    Thank you for your quick response!

    Grant

    I wanted to practice this on my home computer first, it runs very slow. I am computer illiterate so this list means nothing to me.

    Your log is really pretty clean, but a few recommendations. Scan again with HijackThis, place a check next to the following entries, close all other windows and click fix checked.

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ViewMgr] C:\Program Files\Viewpoint\Viewpoint Manager\ViewMgr.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SunJavaUpdateSched] C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.2_05\bin\jusched.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
    O16 - DPF: {7565A160-5C60-4866-A120-F4D5B2BA3AAE} (FSLoaderCtrl Class) - http://www.clickedyclick.com/Downlo...fsloader_v3.cab

    Open the control panel>add/remove programs, and uninstall Logitech Desktop Messenger.

    Reboot.

    Open C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB and rename realsched.exe to realsched.old
    Open C:\Temp if present, select all and delete.
    Open C:\Windows\Temp, select all and delete. You may get a message that a file is in use and cannot be deleted, leaving many files still present. Select all again, hold down control and click that file to de-select it and try deleting again. Repeat with others as needed, deleting as many as you can.
    Open C:\Windows\Prefetch, select all and delete.

    You will need to show hidden files and folders, as well as system files for this next step.

    Open C:\Documents and Settings\*username*\Local Settings\temp, select all and delete. Do this for all username folders.
    Open the control panel, then internet options and delete the temporary internet files, checking the box for offline content.
    Open My Computer, right click Local disk C: and choose properties, then disk cleanup. Check all boxes except compress old files and click OK.

    Go to the Sun Java Website and update your JRE. Current is 1.4.2_07

    I also recommend you go to Windows Update and install all available critical updates and service packs. It will take more than one visit, with reboots between downloads. Use the Express Install option.

    Reboot after completing all of the above and post a new HJT log.

    Lets us know if any of this helps. You have a service running, C:\WINDOWS\System32\wdfmgr.exe, which has been reported to slow down some systems and could be stopped if necessary to see if it helps. It's associated with Media Player 10.

    Any new recommendations? Again, thank you very much and I'll post my work computer scan log within the next hour or so.

    Thanks again,

    May want consider fixing the following, just to shut down unnecessary startups.

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [AdaptecDirectCD] "C:\Program Files\Adaptec\Easy CD Creator 5\DirectCD\DirectCD.exe "
    You can also stop the Java AutoUpdate (doesn't seem to work right anyway). Open the control panel, then the Java Plug-in (if using category view, click other control panel options in the left pane). Uncheck the box to show Java in system tray and apply, then click the update tab. Uncheck the box to automatically check for updates and then apply. Close the plug-in.

    Happy to help. :)

    You will need to be logged on with Administrative priveledges.

    Download AboutBuster from the following location.

    http://www.downloads.subratam.org/AboutBuster.zip

    First unzip all files from the zip folder to a folder on your desktop. Open and double click AboutBuster.exe, click ok, then update. A new screen should popup. On that screen click Check for Updates. If it says it found an update click Download Updates. If it doesn't, it will automatically tell you and exit. Close for now.

    Click here to download cwsserviceremove.zip, unzip it to your desktop and have it ready to run later.

    Download the stand-alone CWShredder 2.0 from here. Save it to the desktop. Double click to install.

    Check for updates to Ad-aware.

    Click start then run and type services.msc, then hit enter. Locate Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper , right click and choose properties. Stop the service, then set to disabled. Click Apply then OK. Close the services window.

    Right click My Computer and choose properties. On system restore tab, check the box to turn off. OK out.

    Reboot to safe mode.

    Double click the cwsserviceemove.reg file you unzipped earlier. Click yes to merge it to the registry.

    Scan again with HijackThis and place a check next to the following entries. Close all other windows and click fix.

    You will need to show hidden files and folders, as well as system files and extensions for known file types.


    Open C:\Program Files and delete the folder Ebates_MoeMoneyMaker if present.
    Open C:\Windows\System32 and delete the files atler.exe and mfcik.exe.
    Open C:\Temp if present, select all and delete.
    Open C:\Windows\Temp, select all and delete.
    Open C:\Documents and settings\username\Local Settings\temp, select all and delete. Do this for all usernames.
    Open C:\Windows\Prefetch, select all and delete.
    Open the control panel, then internet options and delete the temporary internet files, checking the box for offline content. Then, still in the control panel, open the Java Plug-in, click the cache tab and then clear.
    Open My Computer, right click Local disk C: and choose properties, then disk cleanup. Check all boxes except compress old files and OK.

    Open AboutBuster, click start then OK. Exit when finished.

    Open CWShredder from the new shortcut on the desktop, close ALL other windows and click fix.

    Open Ad-aware and run in full scan mode. Delete all it finds.

    Reboot back to Windows and run Housecall. Make sure the box to autoclean is checked.

    Visit Windows Update and accept all critical updates.
    Go to the Sun Java Website and update your JRE.

    Post a new HJT log when done.

    I think I'm logged on with Administrative priveledges, I've gotten pretty far anyway.

    Couple questions before I continue......that website for CWShredder 2.0 downloaded SpySubtract...is that what I want? Also, when I unclick the system restore tab it gives me a warning that all previous system restore points will be lost....I take it I should continue from there?

    This last question shows how stupid I really am....how do I reboot in safe mode?

    Thanks,

    Grant

    Open the control panel>user accounts and you will see what type of account you have next to your username, eg; Administrator or Limited.

    You only needed to download the stand-alone version of CWShredder (2nd link on the page).

    Yes, all system restore points will be deleted, and that is because they will have infected files also, leaving open the possibility of re-infecting the system. We'll turn it back on and create a new restore point after cleaning up.

    Two ways to get into safe mode.
    1. Restart the computer and start tapping the F8 key (as soon as it powers up). You should be offered a boot menu from where you can select Safe Mode.

    2. (try the F8 option first) Go to start>run and type msconfig, hit enter. On the boot.ini tab, check the box next to /safeboot and OK. Yes to restart. This will restart your computer in safe mode. Logon to your user account.

    Note** You will need to uncheck the /safeboot option before leaving safe mode, otherwise it will again restart in safe mode.

    I don't suggest using this option if your account is Limited and/or you don't know the Administrator account password (if on a network, one may have been set).

    A couple things real quick. I did not find the following:

    R3-Default URLSearchHook is missing

    I also did not find Ebates_MoeMoneyMaker or atler.exe.......

    Other then that I was able to complete everything.

    Should I uninstall any of the things I downloaded now? The HiJackThis, the AboutBuster, the Cwsservicemove??? What do I need to do next, my computer is already a lot better, no more pop ups and that about:blank thing is gone! Thank you so much already, what next? I'm going home to do your follow up on my home computer now!

    Thanks again,

    Grant

    Hey Noah, did you see my last log on my work computer. Also, should I delete anything that I downloaded? What steps should I take next?

    Thanks again,

    Grant

    Sorry I didn't get back to you. :( The log looks clean. Feel free to delete any or all of those apps. However, I would like you to do the following, just to make sure atler.exe is gone.

    Download Pocket Killbox from here: http://www.downloads.subratam.org/KillBox.zip

    Unzip the files to a folder, then open and double-click on Killbox.exe to run it. In the "Paste Full Path of File to Delete" box, copy and paste the following:

    C:\WINDOWS\System32\atler.exe

    Check the box to delete on reboot and click the red X to the right. Click OK, then OK again to allow it to reboot. You can then delete it, as well as the folder it may create in C: named !submit.


    Recommendations for further protection

    Do you have Spybot Version 1.3? If not, download it from my signature and install. Allow it to load SD Helper. Open it up and click mode on the toolbar, then advanced mode. Click immunize in the left pane, then immunize again, this time from above with the green + beside it (always recheck this setting after downloading updates). Click the link below that for SpywareBlaster, download, install, enable all protection and update. Check for updates regularly and watch for any protection being disabled. Then, still in Spybot, click tools button, then IE tweaks and at least lock the HOSTS file.
    Then download IESpyad.exe, double click to extract (it extracts to C:\IESpyad by default), open the folder, double click the ie-ads.reg file and allow it to merge into the registry.

I just seen all the tech tools that you reccommended to Gdog and you are not going to beleive this, I just got Hi-Jacked and I post my log on another forum and they said I have way to mant spyware tools and I don't have half as many as you recommended. Anyway good night, and nice to meet you, Andy1!!!

    Thanks again Noah! I ttied to do the delet on reboot option, when I clicked the rex x a message came up, it said

    "PendingFileRenameOperations Registry Data has been Removed by External Process "

    is that normal?

    Also, I already have Spybot.....should I leave it on the advanced mode? When I went into the IE tweaks I couldn't lock the HOSTS file because it was shaded out, I couldn't click on it. Does that mean it's already locked?

    Thanks for all your help, I think I'm good to go now unless you see some abnormal things above with what I just told you.

    Again, thank you for all your help.

    One maintenance question, is there anything you suggest doing weekly to help keep my computer clean, and the hard drive clear? Should I delete temporary files weekly? Should I run Adaware and Spybot weekly? More, less?

    One last thing, should I download all updates Java says to?

    Not unusual for the Killbox message. A normal reboot will finish up.

    I would say you are fine leaving Spybot in advanced mode. Familiarize yourself with it's options. ;)

    Do a search of the drive (include hiddens files and folders, and you must have hidden files set to show) for HOSTS and let us know the location of any folders found with that name exactly.

    Yes, I would suggest cleaning up at least weekly, more if you do alot of net surfing.

    You only need to update the Java version you have installed, which is JRE 1.4.2_03 The current version is 1.4.2_07

    Welcome to WindowsBBS Andy1 :)

    Thank you. Were you able to get help elsewhere? Feel free to start a new thread if needed. We'll be happy to help.

    No, I've not had any formal schooling. Learned what little I know here and elsewhere around the net. Alot of Google time. Alot of forum lurking. Alot of testing on my own 'infectable' comp. The type of 'tools' you have may be what the other helper was referring to. Much of what we have used here are specialized for doing something in particular, and then disposable.
