Help!!! Cannot get on internet at all. IE home page displays as a blank page (no hidden address) but a "y" with two dots above it displays in the blank section of the page. Has IE been rerouted? IPCONFIG may have been adjusted?? Have run SpyBot and Ad-Aware. Hijack log is below:

hello


looks like you got some work to do.
Please copy these instructions and have them handy since you will need to do these steps offline and in SAFE MODE.

Before we start, please go to your Add/Remove Programs panel- Look for this program(s) and uninstall it if present:
VBouncer
BullsEye Network
Make sure your PC is configured to show hidden files

Double click my computers & 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"

Scan with HijackThis and place an check next to the following entries,close all windows,then press *fix checked*

————————————————————————————————-
>>Next<<
Reboot your PC into SAFE MODE
restart your computer and tap the F8 Key
chose SAFE MODE from the possible options, then hit enter

ok once in safe mode find and delete:

all the above 04 items, delete just the .exe file for example:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\sclyfgfm.exe>> you would delete >only< the sclyfgfe.exe

except for these:
C:\Program Files\BullsEye Network\bin\bargains.exe>>>delete entire folder
C:\Program Files\VBouncer\BundleOuter.EXE>>>delete entire folder

also in safe mode:

Empty Temp folders. Go to Start > Run and type:cleanmgr. Windows will scan. When done check these 3 and press *ok* to remove:

Temporary Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin
————————————————————————————————
do what you can then reboot and try this:
i suggest downloading giant antispyware, has a free 15 day trial version, you could dl it to another computer, burn it then copy it to your computer, to run it
http://www.giantcompany.com/(mw2yya45hftly…5)/default.aspx


you also need LSPfix.exe
here: http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm

Run it, make sure you click the "I know what I'm doing" button. Select calsp.dll and using the right-pointing 'arrows' move all instances of calsp.dll it mentions and nothing else to the Remove side but leave everything else (it might already be over there when you open LSPFix). Click the 'Finished' button (if you exit with the X at top right nothing happens).

afterwards post a new HJT log
Post #3
I have done as you instructed, although please note some of the items were not in the HJT scan when I went to "fix" them.

I downloaded the Giant Spyware and tried to install it on my "sick" PC but received the following message: Error 1335 - The cabinet file 'Data1.cab' required for this installation is corrupt and cannot be used. This could indicate a network error, an error reading from the CD-ROM, or a problem with this package.


LPSFix downloaded file and installation/removal seemed to go well.

I would be so grateful if someone could take a look at my new HJT log (see below) to hopefully advise me on how to clear up the internet access problems on my daughter's laptop (she is heading back to college later today). Thank you in advance!!!!

hello,
you did a good job, few more to go.

run HJT close all windows and have it fix:

glad to help.

Please follow a few tips to remain malware free:

1) Make sure you keep your Windows OS current by visiting Windows update occasionaly to download and install any critical updates and service packs. With out these you are leaving the backdoor open.
http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp

Also download, install and keep updated- Antivirus Software (and use only one):
Free for home users:
http://www.avast.com/eng/free_virus_protectio.html
http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2/
http://www.free-av.com/

2) Watch what you download, and where you download it from. Many programs come bundled with crapware. Make sure you know what it is you will be downloading and installing. Visit the makers website, learn more about the program, read the privacy policy,a link way down at the bottom of the page. Does the program you want come bundled with other "3rd party" programs? What do the 3rd party programs do? Will they deliver ads? Track your surfing habits?.You may be installing more than you think., Stay away from warez and crack sites. Becarful what you download from file sharing networks.If you are not sure, scan it with your Antivirus app. A small file (in KB) is probably not what you think it is.

3)Adjust your browser settings: Change your(active x) settings in IE. With IE open go to tools, internet options, security tab. Click on the internet globe, then custom level. Set the first option "download signed active x controls" to prompt, the next two to disable. Read more: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/btw/ie/ie-opts.htm
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/ie/using/…y/settings.mspx
Many exploits are directed at Internet Explorer, you dont have to use it. Try a different browser: http://www.mozilla.org/products/firefox/

4)Install a firewall. A firewall will control what comes in from the internet and what leaves your computer to the internet. A firewall will also alert you when a application trys to connect to the internet from your computer, this is a good way to catch crapware or trojans, trying to connect out bound from your computer- whats that and why does it need a internet connection? You can deny it access it until more investigation is done. Zone Alarm is a free and easy to use firewall, that will provide in and outbound protection. Microsoft XP firewall only provides inbound protection. SP2 adds in and out bound protection which is better than nothing, but is not as robust as third party firewalls, but better than nothing. Be sure to run only >one< firewall.If you use another, be sure to disable XP's built in firewall.
Zone Alarm: http://www.zonelabs.com/store/content/home.jsp
Kerio Personal Firewall: http://www.kerio.com/us/kpf_home.html
Outpost Firewall: http://www.agnitum.com/products/outpost/

5)Download, install and update before using:(if these are constantly finding malware, then you need to make some changes.)
Ad-Aware SE Personal edition: http://www.lavasoft.de/
Spybot Search and destroy: http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html
Becarful with spyware "removers and scanners"– there are many "rogue/suspect" programs that "claim to remove" spyware.


6)Other programs to consider:
SpywareBlaster: http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/ind…showtutorial=49
IE-SPYAD: https://netfiles.uiuc.edu/ehowes/www/resource.htm#IESPYAD
