382005 2005-08-18 03:00:00 A mates dropped of a computer with a complaint I haven’t seen before, but think I’ve read about on this forum. Regretfully searching press F1 hasn’t found what I want.

The problem is, something hijacks his Paradise ISP Connection. Yep it changes Paradise’s dialup number to any one of a number of overseas numbers. 00448707690694 002463473130 being just a couple. OK, he’s got Nortons right up to date, Spybot right up to date, and AdAware right up to date but they don’t find anything!

I’ve ditched the connection and set up another and everything is fine until you restart the computer when blow me down you’ve got a new number deputising for Paradise.

Now, I’ve read about someone else having similar problems and they found another programme like spybot and AdAware that found the problem. Anyone else remember and/or point me in the right direction? :confused:

382006 2005-08-18 03:16:00 Get hijackthis and post a log here.

It sounds like a dialler is on his system. And it dials overseas, which most diallers do.

382008 2005-08-18 03:52:00 Maybe you're thinking of Ewido. There was a thread recently when someone tried everything and then Ewido got the nasty. Maybe bartsdadhomer. Can't remember exactly. I don't have any experience of the program but it stuck in my mind as yet another last resort. HTH.........m

pressf1.pcworld.co.nz

that's the thread there. It was bartsdadhomer about redirecting to porn site and ewido got it in the end..

382009 2005-08-18 04:05:00 Tick these (close the browsers), and click on fix checked, , and reboot.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\usbn.exe

This is an adult dialler

Part of the dialler

382010 2005-08-18 09:20:00 Got the sod!! (I think) :rolleyes:

Yep, Ewido was what I was looking for Mark . Thanks for that .

So what I did was download and run ewido, which found another 8 intruders as follows .

::Report End


Then I ran Hijack this again and C:Windows\system32\usbn . exe was gone but the other two were still there .

So, I restarted to see what happened and lo and behold the ISP dial-up number had been changed to 003718400480 this time .

This made me just Soooooooo happy!

OK, back to hijack this and delete the two remaining entries that Speedy suggested and Whippy do, it seems to be fixed . I’ve restarted half a dozen times and the Paradise number remains correct .

Conclusion: Neither Nortons, Spybot, Ad-Aware, or Ewido could capture this sod, but if you know how to read Hijack-Then you’ve got a chance .

I must say I quite like this Ewido and it did find 8 items that Ad-Aware and Spybot missed .

That’s it, thanks again to Mark and Speedy . :thumbs:

382011 2005-08-18 09:28:00 Yay! Pleased to see it. I've had lots of help here and only too happy to put some back:)

(and I agree with your multiple boot practice before you can be confident simething's gone. I do that too.) :thumbs:
mark c (247)
382012 2005-08-18 09:50:00 Good to hear its fixed BM . :thumbs:

A hijacker is different from a dialler . A hijacker affects the browser, a dialler as it says replaces the dialup .

So, it'll dial elsewhere (usually overseas), if u disconnect from the net .

You'll soon find out if u had one, (and its been on your system for a while), it'll appear on your phone bill . And depending on how long someone has had it, it'll be a BIG bill .
