396823 2005-10-17 14:10:00 How do i replace the WININET.DLL file ? i have the replacement ready
You could try just putting it in the correct directory probally "C:\WINDOWS\system32", if that dosent work do this:
Start - Run - CMD
in the command window type regsvr32 wininet.dll

Use ccleaner. Run ccleaner. Go to tools/startup button, find my search bar, highlight it delete the entry.

Then go to C: \ Program files. See if My search bar folder is there, if it is delete it. Then go back to ccleaner. Click on issues. Then scan for issues.

Then click on fix selected issues. Then No. Then fix all selected issues. Then OK. Then close.

DO u mean this entry is still there??

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System, DisableRegedit=1

Can you get into the registry or not?? Start/run and type regedit

396827 2005-10-18 07:46:00 Sorry yes i can get into the registry after deleting

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System, DisableRegedit=1 with HJT it always reappears after a reboot even after i did what you recommended from the other thread...i'll try it again

Mysearchbar is gone i think the only thing apart from the above is the WININET.DLL file...how can i replace it ? i've tried safe mode which didnt let me..

396828 2005-10-18 08:50:00 Follow this link CAREFULLY Russell!

. mcafeehelp . com/viewtopic . php?p=252803" target="_blank">forums . mcafeehelp . com

Make sure to download that smitfraud . reg file, and deldomains . inf file, and follow the rest of this URL .

It looks like this smitfraud . reg file changes the affected entries, back to the original settings, in the registry .

See if this file, is still on the system OLEADM . DLL .

This is part of this hijacker .

396829 2005-10-18 08:55:00 On my Win2K OS WININET.dll is found in WINNT\System32, be aware that this .dll is updated in various Internet Explorer SP1 updates, yours will be SP2 presumably. Copy and paste to the folder as far as I am aware. I have done this with other .dll's but not this one. zqwerty (97)
396830 2005-10-19 11:54:00 Ok currently carrying out above instructions...

Is there a free firewall/antivirus prog you can recommened ?

Do i need broadband/cable to download windows service pack update ?(i only have 56k connection)

Also Everest home edition suggested this...

Suggestion Only 1 CPU installed, you should change to uniprocessor HAL.

Can you tell me what this means ?
Is it to enable HT technology ?

Thanks

Russell

396831 2005-10-19 20:00:00 Umm Zonealarm maybe ok for the time being .

No, u dont need broadband, for SP1 or SP2 . But it helps, as it'll take ages to get either!

You can order the SP1 or 2 CD from Microsoft . Either from the MS site, or give them a ring . Thats if they answer phones .

Have u got a P4 533 fsb system with a 3 . 0 ghz CPU?

Or a P4 800 fsb system with a 2 . 4+ ghz CPU?? If you have either, then you can enable HT in the BIOS . BUT this is usually done BEFORE you install XP .

If you haven't got either of the above, you can't use HT . It isnt available .

Are you in NZ Russ??? If so, where?

I could burn a copy of SP2, for u, if u like .

396832 2005-10-20 07:52:00 Hi speedy,

thanks for all your help by the way...unfortunately i'm about as far away from NZ as you can get !! Scotland ! Thanks anyways tho..

Yeah my processor is a 3GHZ pentium so i think it has HT

The Wininet.dll file seems to be sorted now ,all i have to sort out now is
this damn thing -

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Pol icies\System, DisableRegedit=1 with HJT !!!
