| 218310 | 2004-02-26 06:13:00 | You need to download, install and run Spybot Search & Destroy (www.safer-networking.org) and/or Ad-aware 6 (free version) (www.lavasoftusa.com). Make sure you keep them updated via the inbuild update function. | Jen C (20) | ||
| 218311 | 2004-02-26 06:39:00 | This one is a bit too tough for Adaware and Spybot. Go here (www.spywareinfo.com) and download HijackThis (under the Official Downloads section), run it and put a tick next to the following lines if they are listed, "fix checked" and restart your system: R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = find4u.net R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = find4u.net R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = find4u.net R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\SearchURL,(Default) = find4u.net O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [olehelp] C:\WINNT\System32\olehelp.exe O4 - Global Startup: winlogon.exe O16 - DPF: {9DBAFCCF-592F-FFFF-FFFF-00608CEC297B} - web.net2phone.com Only tick these items, nothing else or your computer may stop working. Reboot then download CWShredder (www.sherrylynn.us), run the program and let it do its thing. Make sure to click on "Fix" and not scan only. Start your computer in safe mode, navigate to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup, and delete winlogon.exe Find and delete this also: olehelp.exe If you wish you can post your Startup log from HijackThis after cleaning to see what else might need deleting. |
