I hope someone can help me. I have spent the last 2 days trying to get to the bottom of the "your-searcher" hijacking. I finally read some of the logs and now I made my own log:

Please reply!
I hope that I did not mess anything up, but I took out anything that says "your-searcher" from the hijackthis log. Here is the next log. Please reply soon, my family left for vacation while I try to sort out this mess!

Thank you!

Click here to download and install Registrar Lite. Install, run, copy and paste this line to reglite's address bar:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\\AppInit_DLLs

and hit the "go" tab. Find: "Appinit_Dlls" value on the right side panel, DoubleClick, copy and post here the information in the 'Value' field.

Click here to download FindnFix.exe (2K/XP only!) by freeatlast. Double-click on the FindnFix.exe and it will install a folder called FindnFix on your system. Go to that folder and double-click on !LOG!.bat. The program takes a few minutes to collect the necessary information. When done post the contents of Log.txt in this thread.

Daemon,

I hope I didn't go to far, but I read some of the next steps from your other forum posts. I placed move %WinDir%\System32\CTLIN.DLL %SystemDrive%\junkxxx\CTLIN.DLL into the MOVEit.bat file and double-clicked on FIX.bat. I will first post the log1 contents and then the HJT new results (I double-clicked on ZIPZAP.bat and then ran HJT).


Thank you!

I hope I didn't go to far, but I read some of the next steps from your other forum posts. I placed move %WinDir%\System32\CTLIN.DLL %SystemDrive%\junkxxx\CTLIN.DLL into the MOVEit.bat file and double-clicked on FIX.bat. I will first post the log1 contents and then the HJT new results (I double-clicked on ZIPZAP.bat and then ran HJT).

:blink: Actually you did go too far, these fixes are not automatic - they are tailored to your individual problem. :oops:

In pasting that line you tried to move a file that you didn't have <_< and so you are still infected!

Please follow instructions from now on…

Open Explorer and navigate to C:\Windows\System32 folder, find the COMIAL.DLL file. Highlight the file and using top menu, click Edit>Move to folder…

Select C:\junkxxx as destination. Move the file.

Open the FindnFix folder again and double-click on RESTORE.bat then post the contents of the new Log1.txt in your next reply.
Sorry Daeman, I'm trying my hardest to fix this thing. I could not find comial.ddl manually, so I put in the moveit.bat folder "move %WinDir%\System32\COMIAL.DLL %SystemDrive%\junkxxx\COMIAL.DLL" just in case. Here is the log after start-up and the HJT log as well. I'm not going to touch anything else-promise!

move %WinDir%\System32\cCOMIAL.DLL %SystemDrive%\junkxxx\COMIAL.DLL <_<

Still not there - you had a typo. Please do this - right-click on the MOVEit.bat file and select 'edit', copy and paste this line into the blank file:

move %WinDir%\System32\COMIAL.DLL %SystemDrive%\junkxxx\COMIAL.DLL

Save the file and close, double click on FIX.bat and allow it to reboot.

On restart, open the FINDnFIX folder again and double-click on RESTORE.bat. Post the contents of the new Log1.txt in your next reply.
Daemon,

Here are the results. By the way, I think I got rid of the "your-searcher" trojan (not only because it is no longer my homepage, but also because I no longer have the 4 extra bookmarks and my shutdown does not include a "Win Min" closing problem)), but I still have the about:blank trojan. I really appreciate your help.

Jazzer

Daemon, As I said in my openning post, my family is waiting for me at my wife's parents house in Cape May, New Jersey. So I'm off to build sand castles with my 2, 4, and 7 year olds. I tried to fix this before I left, but it will have to wait until after we return. Could you post how I can get back in touch with you once we have returned? In the meanwhile, this computer will be turned off so there is no chance of other critters getting on! See you lare. Jazzer
Wow, What timing! I see you were on when I wrote the last post. The folder called junkxxx is still in the FinfnFix folder (located in the C drive). I am not too computer literate, so I am not sure what you mean when you say "using Explorer." I will wait a few minutes for an answer, otherwise, see you later! Jazzer
Daemon, I have returned from our vacation. Almost forgot about our computer problems. Here is part of my last post: The folder called junkxxx is still in the FinfnFix folder (located in the C drive). I am not too computer literate, so I am not sure what you mean when you say "using Explorer." This is in responce to your last post: "This is giving us problems. Using Explorer, create a folder called C:\junkxxx. Then re-work though my last post." Jazzer
Daemon, I finally located comial.dll! I moved it to the junkxxx folder. Am I OK now?

That seems to have worked - open the FINDnFIX folder again and open the Files2 folder. Double-click on the ZIPZAP.bat. It will quickly clean the rest and will make a copy of the bad file(s) in the same folder (junkxxx.zip) and open your email client with instructions. Simply drag and drop the junkxxx.zip file from the folder into the mail message and submit to the specified addresses.

Please be sure to include a link to this thread in the body of your email. Reboot when done, then delete the entire FINDnFIX folder. Could you click here to download CWShredder by Merijn Bellekom and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'. If you already have CWShredder, click 'Check for update' and make sure you are running version 1.59.1 Reboot when done. Rescan with HJT and post a new log in your next reply.
