Hello markrn. Welcome to the TSG.

Can you tell me what changes you have done so far?

 

[LDTate]

Stay in the other thread and don't make anymore changes

 

[markrn]

Haven't made any changes since the problem first occured other than to run spybot and I moved hijackthis.exe out of the temp folder to c:\hijackthis folder.
Thanks

 

[LDTate]

I suggest you do this:

Run Hijack This again and put a check by these. Close ALL windows except HijackThis and click "Fix checked"

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1
O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/09b04b0...ip/RdxIE601.cab

1. Open My Computer
2. Right click on your hard drive that you wish to clean (C drive, for example)
3. In the context menu that opens, select properties
4. Under the general tab you should select Disk Cleanup
5. Windows will scan your drive which will take a few seconds/minutes
6. A box will display the various files you can remove.
Check all boxes except compress old files
7. Click OK and windows will comply.

Restart your computer.

Press the F8 key until the startup menu appears.

Choose the Safe Mode option then press Enter.

PosT a new HijackThis log

I have merged the two threads together. Please do not start new threads for the same problem but keep replying to this one.

Thank you.

 

[markrn]

Will do, sorry about that.

 

[markrn]

Thanks. Fixing those items you mention:
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present
O7 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, DisableRegedit=1

Did the trick .

Thanks again!!

Please post a new HJT log! Lets be sure of what you have.

If you don't want to do that then at least do this;

Open Spybot and click mode on the toolbar, then advanced mode. Click immunize in the left pane, then immunize again, this time from above with the green + beside it. Click the link bellow for SpywareBlaster, download, install and update. Check for updates weekly. Still in Spybot, click tools in the left pane, then click IE tweaks and at least lock the HOSTS file. Then download and install IESpyads.

That will give you an added layer of protection against unwanted parasites.
