Besttechie Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 Hi,Yes, download HijackThis on his PC and post a logfile in the HijackThis Logs forum. Even if you think you have fixed it make sure you post a log just in case there are some left over things that need to be removed. B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted October 6, 2004 Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 I would also get Spyware Blaster to prevent future infections, and a² Free to scan for other nasties Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marko_tomas13 Posted October 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2004 ya ill do that once i've actually removed everything (that could take some time ) lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
robroy Posted October 7, 2004 Report Share Posted October 7, 2004 Maybe also spy sweeper even though you can't update the free version. You can always delete and d/l latest version. I also use BHO demon. It helps you check on browser helpers quicker and easier than running HJT to find themJD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mad Mike Posted January 31, 2005 Report Share Posted January 31, 2005 Up until about an hour ago my I.E. homepage was About:Blank, not a major concern as I mostly stay with my Mozilla Suite, but on occasion a link I might click on opens Internet Expolrer and I'm (was) faced with this porno based search engine. So what I did was typed REGEDIT in the RUN box and drilled down through "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Microsoft/Internet Explorer/Main/StartPage". Right clicked on "Start Page" to left of where it said About:Blank,got a dialogue box, cleared the About:Blank entry and re-typed the URL of my choice clicked "ok" and... Good Bye About:Blank... every thing seems to be A-OK Quote Link to post Share on other sites
