Hi all and thanks for setting this thing up .I have Windows XP home,Verizon DSL and use IE browser on a brand new 3 month old Acer computer with AMD processor . I have read and used the self help messages , I will probably post my logs later today from ewido and hjthis . But first , I had a problem after I installed ewido and scanned in safe mode . It found 52 objects and I clicked it to fix/remove them all . But then after the first ewido scan when I rebooted to normal mode ,as soon as the ewido icon loaded onto the quick launch bar , the whole desktop froze . None of the icons would work , the quick launches (at least those visible in windows xp) none of them would respond to a mouse click , even the start button would not produce any response to a mouse click . I could only shut down using the task manager control/alt/delete . I could reboot into safe mode and only then the icons and start button would work,in typical safe mode way . I finaly used control panel to delete ewido in safe mode (it asked if I wanted to save the logs and I did) , then the computer resumed its "normal" behavior when rebooted in normal mode . I know that some malware has been able to compromise the operation of some virus detectors and cleaners . Could this be the problem I am having with the ewido program? The genesis of my problem , I think , is when my Norton anti virus detected howiper installed , but said it couldn't delete it . This was about 10 days ago and I am sorry I didn't immediatly come here to fix this , I suspect howiper has been allowing malware into my system since that day ! Any ideas about the ewido problem , and how I can try to install it again . I did do a first scan and saved the log . Typical of my problems : when I opened Google search page to find this forum with TomCoyote as a search word , when I got the search results back and tried to click on the top result , the TC home page , I would be redirected to all sorts of weird search engines and unrelated google results pages . I have never had my browser so hijacked and controled , and I have been web surfing since 1998 !

You may want to print out these instructions for reference, since you will have to restart your computer during the fix.

Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/files/lonny/Fixwareout.exe

Save it to your desktop and run it. Click Next, then Install, then make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish. The fix will begin; follow the prompts. You will be asked to reboot your computer; please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.

At the end of the fix, you may need to restart your computer again.

Now maybe you can give me another tip . Somehow this system has changed so that notepad/txt files are opened by Windows Media Player when I click on them the first time . Of course WMP can't open these txt files so I have to close it and right click on the file and choose "open with" and then pick notepad to open it . How do I find the setting in Windows XP which says which program will be the default to open deignated file extensions ?

Please download the trial version of Ewido Security Suite here:

http://www.ewido.net/en/

Install it, and update the definitions to the newest files.

Next, please reboot your computer in Safe Mode by doing the following:
1) Restart your computer
2) After hearing your computer beep once during startup, but before the Windows icon appears, press F8.
3) Instead of Windows loading as normal, a menu should appear
4) Select the first option, to run Windows in Safe Mode.

Then please run Ewido, and run a full scan. Save the logfile from the scan.

Restart your computer in normal mode and please post a new HijackThis log, as well as the log from the Ewido scan.

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
