I have tried everything that I can think of and I can not get rid of the stinking about:blank hijacker. I read through what I need to do to get rid of this through your advise and it still hasn't worked.

Can someone please help?!

Here is my log:

I see you have guardian installed to monitor keystrokes. I'm not sure if that will interfere with the fix, but I know working on a friend's computer, it caused some problems. You might disable it for now.

You may wish to print out a copy of these instructions to follow while you complete this procedure.

Please save Hijack This in a permanent folder (i.e. C:\HJT). This ensures backups are saved and accessible.

Please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items, then click fix checked.

Thank you for the response!

I had to do these steps several times, and I did not get the about:blank page when I opened IE, so this is a good sign.

A couple of things:
I was not able to boot into safe mode for some reason. It could be that this is a company computer and I don't have admin rights, but I did delete those .exe's

Also, I uninstalled and re-installed Adaware. It found several things that it could not get rid of and it said it would remove on re-boot. When I rebooted, Adaware did not run byitself. Is it supposed to automatically run after rebooting?

Is there anything I can do to prevent this from happening again?

You do not have the latest version of Internet Explorer. Please update it.

I was researching your log for about 20 minutes trying to fix it when I saw that you have an open topic with the same problem on another forum.

I will let them handle it for you. :tazz:

I guess I will have to admit that I am an amature when it comes to all this stuff and when I started to look into getting help, I didn't know that I was not supposed to post in more than one forum. I posted on 2 forums, and this is the only one to help so far. I didn't note where I posted the other log, so I am glad that you sent me the link.

It appears that no one has looked at that log. I hope that I am not viewed as someone that is trying to take advantage of this and would be willing to donate if that is possible. I know that you all are working hard to help others, and I am just looking for that help. I appreciate your time working on this, and it has been a great help.

If you want to still check into my latest reply and see if there is anything else I need to do that would be awesome, but if you don't want to help anymore I understand.

P.S. I am not able to get the latest IE because I don't have admin rights to install it.

It appears that you log in to work via a VPN. Is that correct? I know the settings are touchy, so I hesitate cleaning up some items until we get them sorted out. ;)

Please save Hijack This in a permanent folder (i.e. C:\HJT). This ensures backups are saved and accessible.

Please go offline, close all browsers and any open Windows, making sure that only HijackThis is open. Scan and when it finishes, put an X in the boxes, only next to these following items, then click fix checked.

Can you tell me what the following items are used for?

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [3rdparty] "C:\WINNT\system32\cmd.exe" /c copy "C:\WINNT\system32\3rdparty.ini" "C:\Program Files\Xactware\Xactimate\XCentral\3rdparty.ini"

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [CRN4.30.04] C:\Program Files\CRN\Setup\crn_4.30.04_production.exe /s


Please reboot into safe mode (continually tap the F8 key while your system is starting, select Safe Mode from the menu).
Be sure you're able to view hidden files, and remove the following files in bold (if found):

C:\WINNT\system32\addzg32.exe
C:\WINNT\system32\appkp32.exe


Please delete your temporary files by deleting all files and folders that are in those folders (do not delete the temp folder itself) like for example
C:\WINDOWS\Temp\
C:\Temp\
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Temp\
Also delete your Temporary Internet Files, be sure to also select delete all offline content.

Reboot and post a new log and let us know how it's working. :tazz:

Sorry about the delay in getting my latest log in here as I have been extremely busy with work this week.

I will have my latest log posted on Saturday.

Thanks again!
