| 362276 | 2005-06-09 01:29:00 | lately i've been getting my homepage changed from blank to websearchnetwork.com and legit websites being hijacked with ads, like this one had a porn ad instead of the win the mac mini ad! and winz even had a nude teen ads instead of something.....then i downloaded spybot search and destory since adaware wasnt picking it up...so downoaded it updated it ran it 4 times, to no luck, did a search on google, and nothing?.. is there anything i can do instead of reformatting or :badpc: it lol... Am using winxp pro, nortons antivirus, adaware, spybot search and destory, all gets updated every day, and run every 2 days....and none of them pick this irritating hijacker... Many thanx in advance :) |

| 362280 | 2005-06-09 04:05:00 | I think there's websearch as in adware and websearch as in a trojan. It looks like the trojan changes names, on startup. Copy and paste a hijackthis log in here. And we'll see whats in it. |

| 362281 | 2005-06-09 04:13:00 | Sounds like a nasty one HuntBar/SToolbar also tries to hijack your homepage to WebSearch.com, and copies searches you make in known search engines to the search field in the toolbar as you type. HuntBar/WinTools is the kitchen-sink release containing a BTIn BHO, an MSLink-style BHO targeted at the server as.adwave.com, and a multi-functional toolbar targeted at websearch.com, plus three executables running at startup including one hidden one and one running as a Windows service. These processes interact to stop each other from being killed, preventing removal of the software. www.doxdesk.com |
