Hehe lets hope there isnt anything on the D drive ( crossin fingers, knockin on wood, and whatever else i think of in the next few days )

1.) I suggest leaving Cleanup! and using it periodically to clear anything that may be hiding in temporary files.
2.)Run ActiveScan periodically to check the system for viruses that may not be picked up by your in-system virus-scan.
3.)Spywareblaster - prevents spyware from being installed. You only have to run it once to enable protection and that's it! It does everything itself.
4.)Keep Ad-Aware and run it periodically as well.
5.)Spybot
6.)Spywareguard - offers realtime protection from spyware installation attempts.
7.)Google Toolbar - Stops popups (works well!)

And that should cover it!

I have had about:blank before and it didn't touch the D: drive. It came back on your computer before (just as it did this time) because it was not fully removed from the C: drive. It IS gone!

[retrac]

should i always do cleanup in safe mode ?? ( and not delete those few last files it ask me too ) or i guess i can just reboot to log back in

And guess i should uninstall yahoo TB before installing Google's ?

And here in a day im gonna right you a big Thank You !! i just wanna stop looking at a computer for a day I could actually make it home to watch a movie

Can i still post here in a day or 2, or should i start a new 1 ??

[Michelle]

No, you don't always have to run Cleanup in Safe Mode, that was just for removing a:b (don't log out! Just reboot lol)

Yes, I would uninstall the Yahoo toolbar if you would rather use Google. Whatever you want to do!

Go right ahead and post in this topic

seems that xgmyl.dll is back .. pretty sure i deleted this 1 earlier ??

Edited by retrac, 19 May 2005 - 11:50 PM.

[Michelle]

Why in the heck did MS Anti-Spyware put that back?? It saved it for some reason...

Is there anyway to delete those out of MS Anti-Spyware? If not, I would advise uninstalling MS Anti-Spyware and downloading a fresh version.

Your computer isn't re-infected, I don't know what the heck MS did!

Run HiJackThis place a check next to those items and click FIX CHECKED:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINNT\xgmyl.dll/sp.html#14044

Make absolutely sure this is gone:
C:\WINNT\xgmyl.dll (99.9% sure it won't be there lol)

[Michelle]

This is why it's still Beta

[retrac]

Ok im gonna totally uninstall MS AntiSpy and leave it uninstalled TILL this is resolved.( does that sound like a good idea )

then ill run HJT and Check those you last specified and fix them

then look for xgmyl

then post new log

Sound good ??


HEHEHEHE that funny bad beta

itll be ok to install a fresh( MSAntiSpy) version after all this right ??

Edited by retrac, 19 May 2005 - 11:56 PM.

[Michelle]

Let's try this first (is this what you did earlier?):

Open Antispyware.

In the right upper corner go to Advanced tools

Under System tools press Browser Hijack Restore

I think the one we are trying to get rid of is in this list and checked.

Put a check to the page you would like to have as homepage (uncheck the ones you don't want) and press the button restore.

Then Please click on 'Change restore setting to a new URL'. Change it to something you like to use as your homepage

If prompted for the change, allow it.
Then, when the left hand side is showing a 'good' restore, press 'restore this setting now'.
We need to get a non-infected page there.

Reboot and post a new HijackThis log.

[Michelle]

(but, if you already removed it, it's fine just follow the directions for fixing, then delete if there)

[retrac]

oops i already uninstalled MS AS ..

did those plans i had in the last post sound good or have i gone and messed things up ??

[Michelle]

Nope it's fine! Your plan sounds good to me

You really don't HAVE to re-install it...as long as you have the other programs I suggested
