Hey all. I've been having problems with links being added to my favorites and trouble with IE. WHen I first boot up and go online I alwasy get errors where I have to shut down IE and it takes a while before I get it to work. I get around it by opening two instances of IE and one shuts down and the other is ok. I also get a popup every time I first go online. I've run spyroot and cwshredder and while it deletes stuff, it always comes back. Hope you can help and thanx in advance.

Brent.

Hi,
Open NotePad, and copy the contents of the below "Code" box:-

cd %windir%
attrib -s -r -h crco32.exe
del crco32.exe
cd System32
attrib -s -r -h d3nn32.exe
attrib -s -r -h hzemdl.exe
del d3nn32.exe

  • Click "Enable All Protection".
  • Close SpywareBlaster.

Reboot to Normal Mode and run HijackThis again. Then click Do a System scan and save log, and post the fresh log.

When I boot into safe mode, I cannot log onto my computer with my settings. I have to log on as administrator, will that make a difference? when I run the Hijackthis in safe mode, the R3 and O4 that you mentioned from above do not show up. I did delete the exe though for Powerreg. I also ran the CCleaner and SpywareBlaster.

Thanx for all this help. Here's the new log file.

Hi,
Log is much better now :) Only one entry remains. You can fix this in normal mode itself.

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing

Also, download CleanUp! and install it. Run it, click "Options" button, move the "Quick Setup" slider to "Thorough CleanUp!" and click "Yes" for the warning message and exit from Options. Click "CleanUp!" to start cleaning. After cleaning, click "Close", and choose "Yes" to restart the PC.

After this, post a new log of HijackThis. Also, please post back whether you are still experiencing any problems with Internet Explorer or not.

Its looking good. I haven't had any of the old problems again so far. I'm optimistic that this fixed it.

Thanx so much swatkat. You did a tremendous job!! :mrgreen:
