My internet explorer was hijacked and I need help to remove it. I did a scan with AVG anti-virus and ad ware scanner and I did not come up with any results. I also did a scan with Spybot but it did not come up with any results. I guess it is my fault since I download a codec without noticing that it came from out from a malicious site...

While scanning with Hijack, it came up with a message that Hijack cannot access the host file. Is it because Vista block it or the malware is causing it?

I also did a scan with FixIEdef and it also did not remove the problem that I am having.

It also keep showing this dialog. I already know this is already a fake so I clicked no, I tried to click yes to see what it will come up with but it came up with a download.

Click OK to download the antispyware program to clean your system! (Recommended) _linenums:0'>System Error!Your compter was infcted by unknown trojan. It's dangerous for your system (critical files can be lost)!Click OK to download the antispyware program to clean your system! (Recommended)

While waiting for someone to respond, I am constantly looking for a solution on google but it really difficult because of the malicious malware. I am also downloading new anti malware programs to find the cause of this and get rid of this infuriating malware.

I have scanned w ith Spyhunter 3 (A free version which required me to buy the software to remove the infected objects.) and found 2 infected files. The scanner does not come with a log so I have to type it myself.

Hello

Download WinPFind35U.exe to your Desktop and double-click on it to extract the files. It will create a folder named WinPFind35u on your desktop.
  • Open the WinPFind35u folder and double-click on WinPFind35U.exe to start the program.
  • Under Additional Scans check the boxes beside Reg - Bot Check, Reg - Disabled MS Config Items, Reg - File Additional Folder Scans, File - Lop Check and File - Purity Scan.
  • Under Drivers change it to Non-Microsoft.
  • Under Rootkit Search change that to Yes.
  • Now click the Run Scan button on the toolbar.
  • When the scan is complete Notepad will open with the report file loaded in it.
  • Click the Format menu and make sure that Wordwrap is not checked. If it is then click on it to uncheck it.
Use the Add Reply button and post the information back here in an attachment. I will review it when it comes in. The last line is < End of Report >, so make sure that is the last line in the attached report.


Make sure you attach the report in your reply.

The fix should only take a very short time. When the fix is completed a message box will popup telling you that it is finished. Click the Ok button and Notepad will open with a log of actions taken during the fix. Post that information back here

I will review the information when it comes back in.



Please download Deckard's System Scanner (DSS) and save it to your Desktop.
  • Close all other windows before proceeding.
  • Double-click on dss.exe and follow the prompts.
  • If your anti-virus or firewall complains, please allow this script to run as it is not malicious.
  • When it has finished, dss will open two Notepads main.txt and extra.txt -- please copy (CTRL+A and then CTRL+C) and paste (CTRL+V) the contents of main.txt and extra.txt in your next reply.

Don't attach the DSS reports please
