Hey everyone,
not really sure how i picked this one up, but every time i shut down windows i get a "win min" error. I had that problem two shut downs in a row and then my homepage got changed. I had ad-aware on my computer already, so i ran that to no avail. I downloaded cwshredder, spybot and hijack this but have not tried to clean anything with them yet. I've attached my hijack this log. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

one more thing, while I was typing in this post I got an "IEeng" error which I have never seen before. i don't know if that's a big deal or not. anyway, here's the log.

Thanks for the quick reply. I did the steps although "scan clean" was not an option on the virus scan, only had "scan." Anyway here is the new log file, thanks!

Then while still in safe mode delete this file. Be careful as it is closely named to a real file name.

winlgn.exe<<
Then scan with Cwshredder again in safe mode then reboot and post a new log. How is it running after the reboot?
Alright, well so far so good! The homepage seems to have disappeared which is awesome! And so far I haven't gotten any winlgn errors or any of that stuff so that appears to be alright too. Here's the new log:

Looks good :D :thumbup:

If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. In my signature below is also a tutorial on how to harden IE, a good read and very helpful to stop these things in the future. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on.

Safe Surfing. :D
