This is a "self help" to remove the browser redirects to JUPK.COM , BXNU.COM, and others, infection on Windows 2000 and all XP versions ONLY.If you don't have W2K or XP, please Register and post a HijackThis log for manual removal. Instructions are below.

Keep in mind this infection can be accompanied by other infections as well. We strongly suggest you Register after running this fix and posting a HijackThis log for one of the pro's to check over.


Please do not delete anything unless instructed to.



Note: There will be items that will need to be fixed after doing the below "Self Help"


Please download FixWareout from this site:

Save it to your desktop.

Close ALL windows and browsers including the internet.

Double Click Fixwareout.exe and run it. Click Next, then Install, make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish.
The fix will begin; follow the prompts.
You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so.
Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

Once the desktop loads a text that will open (report.txt) Please save this file, you'll need to post it with a new HijackThis log.



Next:

Now lets check some settings on your system.

Then right click on your Default Connection
Usually Local Area Connection for Cable and DSL
Left click on Properties
Double-Click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item
Select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS Servers Automatically

Press OK twice to get out of the properties screen and reboot if it asks


Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune.

(If you use FireFox or the Opera browser
