Hello java script:emoticon(':wavey:', 'smid_20')
:wavey:

Last week Evilware Emancipator was so very terrific in helping me eradicate a plethera of beasties from MizzComputer. This week, however, the fight resumes between MizzComputer and TangoBravo(moi). This time her weapon of choice is an IE hijacker… and she apparently brought a friend, because now my brand new computer, which had BitDefender V10 installed BEFORE we linked it to the DSL, is also hijacked.

So let the games begin.

Here's the HJT log. If any of you recognize this rascally bit of code, please advise me.
(And THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR HELP SO FAR!!!)

Hello again, Tango Bravo :wavey:

I'm not seeing anything amiss in your log this time….
:scratch:

Let's try this.

Rename:

C:\Program Files\hijack\hijackthis\HijackThis.exe

To:

C:\Program Files\hijack\hijackthis\lister.exe

Reboot, run it, and post a new log file into this thread.

Just in case that doesn't reveal anything new, can you please describe the malware symptoms you are experiencing?
:unsure:

Dear M68, Sorry for the delay in responding. We ran into some display issues with that machine, which were just settled yesterday (new graphics card required) That aside, Bit Defender ran a deep scan last night and moved something, which seems to be our bug. The browser is no longer being hijacked. Thank you again for all your help. ;D -TangoBravo
