Help Needed

you'll have to manually change your home page back to what you want it to be after you rid your computer of that crap

 

actually, this may be what finally did it for me.....manually changing it from the desktop, not the browser screen, after running cwshredder AND emptying he recycle bin.

 

I just used a plain old hammer (not the one out of meat's ass) and haven't had a bit of trouble out of her since.:xyzthumbs

 

i've done that a million times(not the hammer). i can change my homepage and it'll stay the same until i actually restart the machine and then it'll change. cwshredder will "remove" my infected items and change my homepage to blank. then i change the homepage to what i want and it'll work, until i restart, and it's changed back to the hijacked homepage. another thing is that on cwshredder i have a check in the box for it to put the items in the recycle bin, but nothing is ever in the bin after it's finished. i was just assuming that it removed them, but they keep coming back. i've tried it with the check to put them in the recycle bin and without, but it's the same either way. maybe i'll try to delete the infected items manually, but i dunno if i can even find them. anyways, thanks for the ideas. keep em coming if u can think of anything else.

 

The Brain

 

You have a trojan file in your boot.ini or some other registry run once or at startup type file. Might I suggest AVG anti-virus? It's free. It tends to remove the .dll files that stuff like p0rn sites place on your pc.

I'm using that webroot spysweeper too. I havent paid for the updated definitions yet though.

 

check in add/remove programs in the control panel too. you may need to remove something there. hopefully you know what belongs and what doesn't.

 

link?
