Need Help Removing Hijacker, Please

Hello,

Yesterday my husband's computer was hijacked. The home page of IE has reverted to about:blank and constantly arrives at some sort of informational database page. I have tried all of the usual remedies: Spybot, Adaware, BHODaemon, McAfee. Nothing is working. The computer is experiencing a series of continuous new registry entries and newly created .dll's which appear to be randomly named. His computer is running Windows XP Pro. I have temporarily disables 'restore'.

Although somewhat computer literate, I am far from knowledgable. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Please read through the instructions before you start (you may want to print this out).

Please note that everytime you reboot your computer there's a good chance that the files names may have changed.
The link below will help ID them:
http://www.pchell.com/support/onlythebest.shtml

Please download and unzip
AboutBuster to a folder. Inside the folder is a readme file that has instructions on the use of the program.
AboutBuster MUST be updated before you use it.
Start AboutBuster, click the update button, check for update, drag the box to the side and hit download updates, close the box . Don't run it yet.
Current reference list # is 15
Sometimes AboutBuster works better in safe mode, try it.

You may also find the TheKillBox helpful for deleting and ending task on files to be deleted.
To end task on a file that's running use the drop down arrow in the right lower corner of the program and the button to the left of it.


1. Please download and install AD-Aware SE.
Check Here on how setup and use it - please make sure you update it first.

2. Go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok
Scroll down and find the service called "Network Security Service" (it may also be listed as Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper or Workstation NetLogon Service)

When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows. If you don´t find this service listed go ahead with the next steps.

3. Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked.
Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

For anyone using Windows XP, 'Search' will not automatically show hidden files even if your folder options settings are set to do that. Do this so you can see hidden files and folders - click here http://www.davehigham.zen.co.uk/downloads/xphidden.zip to download xphidden.zip. Extract xphidden.reg from the zip file and save it to the desktop. When done, double-click the xphidden.reg and when asked to merge say yes.

4. Press Ctrl+Alt+Delete once => Click Task Manager => Click the Processes tab => Double-click the Image Name column header to alphabetically sort the processes => Scroll through the list and look for:

ipsj32.exe
d3ux32.exe
r?ndll32.exe


If you find the files, click on them, and then click End Process => Exit the Task Manager.


5. CLOSE ALL WINDOWS AND BROWSERS Scan with Hijack This and put checks next to all the following, then click "Fix Checked"

Pages Reset… Done! I am also running a registered version of Spybot which contains Tea-Timer. I was able to confirm the deletion of the offending .exe and .dll files. IE seems to be back to normal, though after about 26 hours of methodical slogging through the system, I'm afraid it's going to blow up on me again any minute… Please let me know if you see any problems in the log files. tessc
