Trojan/highjacking Problem

Hello,
My default web home page is now about:blank. I have run Spybot, Adaware, XoftSpy, About Buster and most recently Hijack This to post a log. The anti-spyware software tried removes Trojan/CWS… but it keeps coming back. After rebooting the computer, Norton Utilites give me a message: We have fixed the problem: C:/windows/TEMP/se.dll. This message comes up every time an application is started. Anyway, this is beyond me. Please help! Here is the log file from Hijack This.

Welcome to the forum.

HowToShowHiddenFiles - <—enable this

Download and unzip the KillBox to a folder - we'll use it later.

Download and install System Security Suite, we'll use it later
http://www.igorshpak.net/ <—System Security Suite
——————————————————————————-

Next:

Copy and paste this into your run box: (Start - Run)

regsvr32 /u C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CBHF.DLL

Now hit enter.

Do the same for:

regsvr32 /u c:\windows\TEMP\se.dll

————————————————————————–

Close ALL programs down, leaving ONLY HijackThis running.
Place a check against the following items:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://c:\windows\TEMP\se.dll/sp.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://c:\windows\TEMP\se.dll/sp.html

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {611DFAC1-801A-11D9-8CF7-00015E90F642} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CBHF.DLL

Click on Fix Checked and exit HijackThis.

Now open up theKillBox and copy and paste each one of these in and hit delete:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\CBHF.DLL
c:\windows\TEMP\se.dll

If they won't delete, KillBox has an option to delete on reboot and replace on reboot (use dummy), try them if needed.

Run System Security Suite, under Items to clear - Internet Explorer - check Temporary Files.
My Computer - check Recycle Bin and Temporary Files. (you can check all the boxes if you wish to clean out all others)
Now hit "Clear Selected Items"

Reboot and post back a fresh HijackThis log and we'll take another look. MrC
