Hope ya'll can help. Here's a little background. I use 2 seperate browsers (IE and Netscape) and IE is my problem child. I write web pages and I use the 2 to test (possible) compatibility issues so everyone who may hit the business site(s) can see the content.

Ran NAV with updated signatures and no problems found.

Ran Ad-Aware 6 with a series of "tag's" and "bot's" found using this browser URL.

http://69.50.184.53/find4u/

Cleaned and rebooted. Seemed to work …. till the next reboot. Hijacking site is still there. Searched the web and found this forum. Ran the Hijackthis.exe and the listed log is below. I been at this for about 2 months now and I am almost bald from hair frustration removal. Thanks for your speedy replies.

Hi Gothos,

Run hijack this again (all other browser windows closed) and fix the following.

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://69.50.184.53/find4u/sp.htm
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://69.50.184.53/find4u/sp.htm
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://69.50.184.53/find4u/sp.htm
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = http://69.50.184.53/find4u/sp.htm

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

O4 - Global Startup: winlogon.exe
O4 - Global Startup: GStartup.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\GMT\GMT.exe
O4 - Global Startup: Date Manager.lnk = C:\Program Files\Date Manager\DateManager.exe

O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://207.188.7.150/2470cbda862932725915/…ip/RdxIE601.cab

Reboot into SAFE mode by tapping F8 key during startup
and delete the following file listed in bold
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\winlogon.exe
Make sure you get rid of this one because this file is causing the hijack

Also delete the following folders listed in bold
C:\Program Files\Common Files\GMT
C:\Program Files\Date Manager\

WOOT! Excellent. I can regrow my hair now. Below is the new logfile after the removals and deletions.

Thanks again for your assistance.

:D
