Hello Daemon… I have Windows 98 and Internet Explorer 6, and IE is being hijacked by jksearch.biz. But also for some reason I can't access My Computer, Control Panel, or Windows Explorer. Could you help me? :D Thanks Daemon :D ~Amanda

My intent was to get you to prepare for someone to help you (in either forum). Whomever helps you is going to need that Hijack This! log file. I was just trying to speed things along for you. :)
Post #5
Yes, Micah is 100% correct. Daemon would need to be a miracle worker to fix a PC without physically being sat in front of it or seeing a HijackThis log posted to this or another forum.
Post #6
sorry I took so long to get this file posted…but my computer was kind of making it difficult.

Whoever wants to look… :P

Let's do this in a couple of steps, first clean you up a bit, then get rid of the hijacker.

Could you click Start>Settings>Control Panel>Add or Remove Programs and uninstall New.Net.

Click here to download CWShredder by Merijn Bellekom and run it, hit 'fix' as opposed to 'scan only'. Reboot when done.

Click here to download Spybot Search & Destroy - install, update, scan and fix all RED items it finds. Reboot when done.

Click here to download Ad-Aware and install. Before scanning click on "check for updates now" to make sure you have the latest reference file. Then click the gear wheel at the top and check these options:

General> activate these: "Automatically save log-file" and "Automatically quarantine objects prior to removal"

Scanning > activate these: "Scan within archives", "Scan active processes", "Scan registry", "Deep scan registry", "Scan my IE Favorites for banned sites" and "Scan my Hosts file"

Tweaks > Scanning Engine> activate this: "Unload recognized processes during scanning."

Tweaks > Cleaning Engine: activate these: "Automatically try to unregister objects prior to deletion" and "Let Windows remove files in use after reboot."

Click "Proceed" to save your settings, then click "Start", make sure "Activate in-depth scan" is ticked green then scan your system. When the scan is finished, the screen will tell you if anything has been found, click "Next". The bad files will be listed, right click the pane and click "Select all objects" - this will put a check mark in the box at the side, click "Next" again and click "OK" at the prompt "# objects will be removed. Continue?".

Reboot when done, rescan with HJT and post a new log here.

uhhh…Daemon…I have a problem…I downloaded the CWshredder, did what you said and then rebooted. But after I rebooted, the message"Cannot listen on port 6515 came up, and then my Internet explorer failed to work. So I couldn't do anything else. I am writing this message on my other computer. :wall: yikes I think I messed it up more…If I can get the log thing on here again I will ~Amanda
Post #10
Continue with the fixes as instructed in my earlier post. Could you also tell me what antivirus package you are using, whether you have a network card installed and check that your personal firewall is not blocking traffic on port 6515.
Post #11
:oops: Well I would really like to continue with the fixes you instructed me to, but right now I can't get my internet explorer to open, so I can't download anything. We are using the latest version of McAfee, and we do have a network card installed. We don't have a personal firewall installed, and I wouldn't have any idea how to check if it was blocking port 6515, if we did. Not very good at computer stuff. :( ya see we have two computers, so I can reply to ya, but I can't do anything on the other one because the internet explorer won't open any websites. what do you suggest I do to make the IE work again? ~Amanda
Post #12
:rofl: :wavey: All Right I have regained control of my computer.

Daemon here is my new log file after I did all the things you told me to:

Better, bit more to do :)

Download the file attached to this post and save it to the desktop. When done double click the clear.reg when asked to merge say yes

Reboot when done, then find this file only and delete it:

c:\windows\system\system32.dll

Make sure that you have no browser windows open as this could prevent the fix from working properly. Open HijackThis, scan and when complete, remove the following entries by checking the box to the left and clicking 'fixed checked':

Click here, for instructions on how to enable hidden files and folders to be visible. After enabling, reboot into safe mode by tapping F8 after the BIOS has loaded, find and delete the following:

C:\filez.exe
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\MSREXE.EXE

Reboot back into normal mode, rescan with HJT and post a new log here for a final check over.
