Welcome to the forum. :D


Step # 1

Please download and run CWShredder. Make sure that all browser windows are closed with the exception of Cwshredder and choose FIX.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4086.html

REBOOT

Step #2

Please download and run Spybot Search & Destroy and AdAware. Then follow the instructions in the links below to run.

Spybot Tutorial

AdAware Tutorial

Step # 3

Please do an online scan,

Trend Micro http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

Reboot and post a new HiJackThis log.

Scan with hijackthis again and put a check beside these lines and choose FIX.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {00000010-6F7D-442C-93E3-4A4827C2E4C8} - (no file)

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [PRXTECT] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PRXTECT.exe

Then boot to safe mode and look for and delete this file.

PRXTECT.exe

Sometimes hijackthis gets them and you will not find them.

Then reboot and post a new log please.

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
