[learner]

I am no expert but willing to learn. U have had my homepage hijacked by whatsfind.com which disabled task manger, home page options and many other run commands.
I have done the following:
1- restart in safe mode.
2- open my computer.
3- drill down to program files.
4- delete windows update file.
5- delete keygen.exe under windows update.
6- empty recycle bin.
7- shut down and restart.

This have helped me to start my Internet Explorer whitout any problems so far.
I hope it would help someone.

It`s still possible that you have some secondary infections.

Go HERE and follow the instructions.

Post a fresh HJT log into this thread, only after doing the above.

I have split this thread and moved your above post to it`s own thread.
