IE Browser Hijack 3721

[jreiter]

Does anyone know how to get rid of the Chinese characters? I've been able to get rid of most of 3721 / CnsMin, but am left with the characters.

Hijck log is below.

Boot in safe mode and run HJT on its own, and let it 'fix':

O4 - Global Startup: APC UPS Status.lnk = ?
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present

That should do it.

IE "O11 - Options group: [!CNS] Chinese keywords"

In even save mode, Hijack can't rid my system of the Chinese translations in the "Address" Window.

I was able to clean out all of the "3721" program (runs the CPU usage up to 50%) but I'm still missing something. Maybe in the registry?

Thanks.
