On reboot my homepage changes, I have run adaware and tried editing the registry all to no avail. This problem started after I did a download I don't know what the download was. If I change the homepage to google after a reboot this what is in the home page http://allaboutsearching.com/passthrough/index.html?http://www.google.com/.
I have read the posts and tried what has been suggested but no luck.
Iam using XP and IE 6.0.2800.1106
Thanks

You've at the very least been hijacked, so I've moved this to the Security forum.


Download the latest version of HijackThis, run a scan, and post the log it generates here. That will give us a better clue as to what's still infecting your system.

That looks good now. What can you tell me about this one:DeeEnEs.exe ? It's strange to see it running from the unzipped folder.

I really don't know what that is, I don't recall using it. Should I get rid of it.

I have some info on it that I found. Have a read of it & if you have no recollection of installing it, check in add/remove first to see if you can uninstall it. Otherwise just delete it from the HJT log, then from the unzipped folder.
You may have to end process on it in Task Manager.

Just noticed the smilie in the other post. It wasn't by design. I should have disabled smilies B4 I posted that one. lol.

DeeEnEs= DNS
It's a client program used with dynamic DNS services such as dyndns.org.

Got it for 'ya. :)

OK i'll try that later, incidentally I did another scan and noticed that the following are back in the log after I deleted them

O1 - Hosts: 207.36.196.189 auto.search.msn.com
O1 - Hosts: 207.36.196.189 search.netscape.com
O1 - Hosts: 207.36.196.189 ieautosearch

Go to your *hosts* file & delete any unwanted entries there. There is a program called ie-spyad that puts over 4000 entries into your registry preventing redirection. Try a google for it. It's only a very tiny download.

Please try to delete them whilst in safe mode & see if it makes a difference.
