| 355389 | 2005-05-17 10:35:00 | it is re installing itself, it kleeps coming up even after i clean it, why is it doing this? is there any sort of mode i need to be doing this under, eg safe? cos im just doing this scan under my normal log in | lmv4 (8123) | ||
| 355390 | 2005-05-17 10:37:00 | you need to go into safe mode. i think its all explained in the FAQ (pressf1.pcworld.co.nz). | tweak'e (69) | ||
| 355391 | 2005-05-17 10:39:00 | yes about that.... :blush: i should have said that we need to fix this problem first before we install sp2... sorry try scanning it in safe mode. is spybot and adaware up to date? |

| 355392 | 2005-05-17 10:41:00 | Safe mode is best, as none of the crapware is run at startup, so it can be removed effectively | Edward (31) | ||
| 355393 | 2005-05-17 10:45:00 | I don’t mean to shatter your confidence in fixing this problem, but maybe it’s better if you bring your pc in a pc shop and get them to fix it. Just a suggestion :) |

| 355394 | 2005-05-17 10:46:00 | yes they are both up to date, i will now try to scan it through safe mode, will post back shortly |

| 355395 | 2005-05-18 07:16:00 | ok guys heres my update that startsearch.net page that wasnt removing has been removed. i restarted in safe mode, and removed all links that were identified through the online hijacker analyser, and tips through this site, and so far so good, everything has worked out, and hijacked homepage removed. it was good too, cos while webpages were hijacked, i wasnt able to read email, and some other webpages. so i am happy. thanks for everyone who helped me out with this with suggestions and tips. thumbs up great effort from all. :) Leah |

| 355396 | 2005-05-18 07:28:00 | Great you have got that sorted Leah. :) You might want to post one final hijackthis log here just to make sure everything is looking OK. The online analysers aren't 100% perfect with detecting items so it would be good to have a manual check as well done. :) For future maintenance, make sure you regularly use Ad-aware and Spybot Search & Destory to scan your system. It is very important that you keep the program updated with the Update function in each program. |
