Let's see if you have a hidden hijacker.


Click HERE to download DllCompare. Start the Program with and click the Run Locate.com - be sure the \Windows\System32 directory is in the box and wait until the the blue text says it has 'completed the scan'.

Click the Compare button to start the next process. The results appear in two panes - files in the upper pane have been verified to 'exist', files in the lower pane were 'not able to be accessed'. Very few files should be listed in the lower pane when the Compare scan is complete. Click on each of the listed entries in the lower pane to select them. Right-click on the file and use the option Rescan. This will cause Windows Find to see if the file does exist, and then if so it will be removed from the list to reduce the number of identified files.

Click the Make a Log of what was found button and post the log here in this thread and wait for further instructions.

My computer is behaving roughly the same, except nowe I get these bogus "Warning your computer is infected with spyware" messages, which are annoying.

Any hope of me ever removing this thing??

I suggest you do this:

Run Hijack This again and put a check by these.

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL = http://letgohome.com/sp.htm?id=9

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://letgohome.com/sp.htm?id=9

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://letgohome.com/sp.htm?id=9

If you did not install dnscleaner.exe, fix it also
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [dnscleaner] C:\WINDOWS\dnscleaner.exe

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Security iGuard] C:\Program Files\Security iGuard\Security iGuard.exe

O4 - Global Startup: winlogin.exe

O20 - AppInit_DLLs: mdipzkdzssyxemdll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll

Close ALL windows and browsers except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"


Use Add/Remove Programs and remove:
Security iGuard



Restart in Safe Mode:
Restart your computer.

Press F8 after the Power-On Self Test (POST) is done. If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, try restarting and then pressing F8 several times after the POST screen.
Choose the Safe Mode option from the Windows Advanced Options Menu then press Enter.



Search for and delete these files if listed:
mdipzkdzssyxemdll
c:\documents and settings\All Users\start menu\programs\startup\winlogin.exe
C:\WINDOWS\dnscleaner.exe

1. Open My Computer
2. Right click on your hard drive that you wish to clean (C drive, for example)
3. In the context menu that opens, select properties
4. Under the general tab you should select Disk Cleanup
5. Windows will scan your drive which will take a few seconds/minutes
6. A box will display the various files you can remove.
Check all boxes except compress old files (If listed)
7. Click OK and windows will comply.

Restart your computer.

Reboot and "copy/paste" a new log file into this thread.
Also please describe how your computer behaves at the moment.

Do you know how to use Regedit?
Also if this doesn't work, click Start> Run> type in Msconfig tap enter. Look in the Startup and list everything in there.


Be sure that all windows are closed. Click on START-> RUN. Copy paste the following as it is and click OK.

regsvr32.exe /U C:\WINDOWS\system32\W8C6S4~1.DLL


Click on START-> RUN. Copy paste the following as it is and click OK.

regsvr32.exe /U mdipzkdzssyxemdll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll Make sure there's a space after the /U

You should get a message that it has been uninstalled succesfully.
Then be sure that all windows are still closed. Run hijackthis. Hit None of the above, just start the program button.
Put a check mark on these entries.Hit FIX CHEKED button.

It would not uninstall this file:

regsvr32.exe /U mdipzkdzssyxemdll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll

I did put a space after the /U.

I don't know how to use regedit.

I think my computer is running a bit slower.
