Hi !

My home page is hijacked to http://www.searchportal.info/10032/ web page. I did the following : I checked show all hidden files on the windows menu and turned off system restore , started in safe mode and ran, Norton antivirus 2003, spybot S & d , Ad-Aware personal SE, CCleaner, CWShredder,spy subtract and Macafee avert stinger, (all latest version). when I restarted the computer, for a moment I thought the problem is gone for the good but after opening the IE a couple of times the above home page reappeared .Just a week ago, before this latest problem I had a different hijacker the search for........ about blank. But I was able to remove that by running CWShredder and with the assistance of posts on this website. Please help me remove this nasty bug , Do you want me to post HJT log ?I am using mozilla for the time being,

Yes, post your hijackthis log in this thread so we can see exactly what you have.

did exactly what you said except I did not delete the two optional registries that you mentioned and I also turned off the system restore before starting on safe mode. On safe mode I found the folder c:\windows\inetxxx and deleted it.when I restarted on normal mode 2 error messages came up

1) windows cannot search for c:\windows\inetxxx\services.exe, please make sure you spelt it correctly.......blablabla
when I click ok for that

2) windows cannot find c:\windows\inetxxx\services.exe in the registry,make sure you remove it from the registry or somthing

ran HJT and here is the new log

Here is the new log, I did not download trojan hunter , honestly I am scared to death about downloading anything off the net after this, hope my norton keeps the viruses away

another thing I have noticed is my font sizes of the log in window (when you restart) and all the icons of the desk top got a bit smaller, I think (do not know whether it is an illusion) but I have a feeling they are a bit bigger before, and also the computer is a bit slower to boot up and when shutting down and also when I double click to open a new programe , again this is my just my feeling but probably its normal, Thanks

log looks ok to me ,have you reset you home page to the orginal .

log looks ok to me...

Agreed- log looks clean.

However, HJT isn't the definitive detection/removal tool for all possible problems you might be having; you might have issues which need to be addressed with utilities other than HJT.

log looks ok to me ,have you reset you home page to the orginal .

Thanks guys, yes I reset the homepage now,looks fine for now, see what happens. Thanks

After you get it all fixed and things are working good ,Download and install these two programs to help stop Spyware...

Yes, and make sure to keep all of your anti-spyware and anti-virus programs as up-to-date as possible; new updates for many of these programs can be released quite frequently. Also- use Windows' Automatic Update function to keep current on all critical fixes/patches from Microsoft.

i have this problem too...can someone help me?i don't know how to copy the Hijack This log...

Dragonoids, you will need to start your own thread. Before you do that, however, have a look through this thread and follow the advice. It will also explain what you need to know about posting a hijackthis log:
