Please download FixWareout from one of these sites:
http://downloads.subratam.org/Fixwareout.exe
http://swandog46.geekstogo.com/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.

When your system reboots, follow the prompts. Afterwards, HijackThis will launch. Please click Scan,
and check the following items:

O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{6FE7B62A-E5D7-4910-ACF4-FE446AA5BD54}: NameServer = 85.255.113.106,85.255.112.111
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\..\{6FE7B62A-E5D7-4910-ACF4-FE446AA5BD54}: NameServer = 85.255.113.106,85.255.112.111

post the log from FixWareout when done

You need to flush the dns. Click Start> Run> type in CMD tap enter key Copy/Paste: ipconfig /flushdns Now lets check some settings on your system.

Post #7
Hi eagle, dns is emptied and as a matter of fact, the radio button you asked me to select on the position "find automatically was already selected hence no rebooting. Anything puzzling you want to clear out ? Good evening. Thank to you. Ph.

One of the best features of Windows XP is the System Restore option, however if a virus or spyware infection.
There can be backups made in the System Restore folder.
Therefore, clearing the restore points is necessary after a virus or spyware removal.

To reset your restore points, please note that you will need to log into your computer with an account
which has full administrator access. You will know if the account has administrator access because
you will be able to see the System Restore tab. If the tab is missing, you are logged in under a limited account.

1. Turn off System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
Check Turn off System Restore.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

2. Reboot.

3. Turn ON System Restore.
On the Desktop, right-click My Computer.
Click Properties.
Click the System Restore tab.
UN-Check *Turn off System Restore*.
Click Apply, and then click OK.

To help keep your PC clean follow the recommendations here by shelf life.
