StartNow keeps hijacking my home page in Chrome and Windows 7 Internet Explorer. I went to config sys & start up and un checked. I went to properties in both browsers and put in my home page (my.yahoo. It is back to normal for a while but then reverts back to StartNow. Maybe it is SearchNow.

  • Select All Users
  • Under the Custom Scan box paste this in

    netsvcs
    BASESERVICES
    %SYSTEMDRIVE%\*.exe
    /md5start
    services.*
    explorer.exe
    winlogon.exe
    Userinit.exe
    svchost.exe
    winsock.*
    /md5stop
    CREATERESTOREPOINT


  • Click the Run Scan button. Do not change any settings unless otherwise told to do so. The scan wont take long.
    • When the scan completes, it will open two notepad windows. OTL.Txt and Extras.Txt. These are saved in the same location as OTL.
    • Post both logs
