A friend of mine used my computer and when it was my turn to use it, my IE's homepage loads up http://www.sysprotectionpage.net/ though i have set a different homepage in the Internet Options...
I've read so many threads about it, tried SOME coz most of them seem so complicated.
Just like everyone else, attached is the hijackthis file.
please help me out.
thanks in advance :) :)
 
Hello and welcome to Techspot.

Download the Pocket Killbox programme from HERE. Extract it, but don`t run it yet.

You might want to copy and paste these instructions into a notepad file. Then you can have the file open in safe mode, so you can follow the instructions easier.


Boot into safe mode. See how HERE. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial61.html

Turn off system restore.(XP/ME only) See how HERE. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial56.html

In Windows Explorer, turn on "Show all files and folders, including hidden and system". See how HERE. http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/tutorial62.html

Run HJT with no other programmes open(except notepad).Click the scan button. Have HJT fix the following, by placing a tick in the little box next to(if there).

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {873eb32d-ae1a-4183-89bd-45a77f761be4} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ixt5.dll

O20 - Winlogon Notify: winnqz32 - winnqz32.dll (file missing)

O20 - Winlogon Notify: WRNotifier - WRLogonNTF.dll (file missing)

O21 - SSODL: cinnamomum - {93ac7c30-3878-4eaa-9420-7977285df5b1} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\pmnqguh.dll (file missing)

Click on the fix checked button.

Close HJT.

Run the killbox.exe file. When it loads type the full path to the file you would like to delete in the field and check the delete file on reboot button. press the Delete File button (looks like a red circle with a white X). It will prompt you to reboot, select no until you have finished inputting the files you want to delete, only then allow it to reboot and hopefully your files will now be deleted.

This is the filepath your need to enter into killbox.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\ixt5.dll

Once your system has rebooted, turn system restore back on and post a fresh HJT log into this thread.

I have split your post from the original thread and moved it to it`s own thread.

I have also deleted your other thread for this subject. Please don`t open any more threads for this subject. Thanks.
