ReHello everyone.

I have a major problem on my comp. A hijacker has taken over my desktop. The background is all blue and says there is Security Warning. Also there is a bunch of unwanted icons on the desktop i can get rid of. They say things like party poker, big tits, and cruises... Anyway here is my hijack this logfile. I ran Ad-aware SE before i ran hijack this. I hope you can help. TIA.

Sounds like you have the smitfraud infection. Move hijackthis into a permanent folder and we can begin your fix.
A folder on the desktop with hijackthis in it is fine.

Okay i did the steps you posted. I did not find any of the following files to delete while in SAFE mode.

C:\Program Files\Search Maid
C:\Program Files\Virtual Maid
C:\Windows\System32\Log Files
C:\Program Files\Security IGuard

Here is my results from Active Scan and my latest hijack this log. The problem still seems to be persisting.

Okay i followed all the steps. When i went to paste from clipboard to the killbox in SAFE MODE. It only pasted five of the eight file paths. So i manually typed in the other three and deleted them one by one. Then i pasted from clipboard and deleted the other five.

The results:

The desktop background is no longer blue with the security warning. So that is good. I deleted all the unwanted icons on my desktop and they seem to be gone. The red x that was popping up in the icon tray is now gone. And the popups that used to say my desktop is hijacked seems to be gone. However internet explorer's homepage still defaults to specialgoods.info

Here is my new hijackthis log:

That log is only about 20% of what should be there :). Please check the log that silent runners created to see if there is any more info there and copy the whole log here if there is. If not, rescan with silent runners and post the entire log here.

Except for a few orphaned registry entries, there does not appear to be a reason for your omepage being changed.

Download the Hoster.
Run it and press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program.
Note that if you have a custom host file, this will remove it. You can edit the host file with this program too.

Scan with hijackthis and tick the boxes next to all the following entries, then close all browser and explorer windows and hit the "Fix checked" button.
