Restoring Windows certificates.

Replaced hosts file with default windows hosts file


Restoring SeDebugPrivilege for Administrators - Succeeded
Post #4
Good job. :thumbup:

Just a few loose ends to tidy up…

CLOSE ALL WINDOWS (even this one) AND PROGRAMS!!!!

Run Hijack This!
Click "Do a systen scan only".
Then "check" the box to the left of these item(s):

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

F2 - REG:system.ini: UserInit=userinit.exe

Then click "Fix checked" and close Hijack This!.

That should do it.

Thank you for choosing TomCoyote for your malware removal solutions.
