1. Some piece of spyware has altered your C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file in order to deny you access to anti-virus and anti-spyware resource sites. Open that file in Notepad and delete all entries except "127.0.0.1 localhost". When you save the file, make sure that Notepad didn't append a .txt extention to the filename; the file must be named simply "hosts".

2. Have HJT fix the following entries:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = file://C:\DOCUME~1\dom\LOCALS~1\Temp\sp.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = file://C:\DOCUME~1\dom\LOCALS~1\Temp\sp.html

3. Although not spyware, Tiscali apparently says that you don't need to use tkonnect, and you might want to uninstall it just to regain some system resources. Uninstall instructions are here:
http://www.tiscali.co.uk/members/myaccount/internet/tk_uninstall.html

I don't see anything else right off the bat, but perhaps one of our other members will catch something I've missed.

[riverrat2004]

its sorted now.

[crunchie]

These too.

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8C02662B-0276-4B52-B8CE-DC2BEF2B5912} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\cooabe.dll
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {EF99BD32-C1FB-11D2-892F-0090271D4F88} - (no file)

Clear the contents of this folder in safe mode:

C:\DOCUME~1\dom\LOCALS~1\Temp<<<<

In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

Thanks Chris.

By the way, what is this file anyway? I couldn't find anything on it:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {8C02662B-0276-4B52-B8CE-DC2BEF2B5912} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\cooabe.dll

[crunchie]

I believe it's all part of that particular hijack.

[DMR]

Yeah- it did look suspicious, but I was hesitant to tell someone to blow away a reference to something that I couldn't confirm. I suppose if it were my system though, I would have axed without much thought...
