Hijacked Browser????

[flpanhead]

Hello. I've been having a problem with my internet. It will sign on when no one is at the computer, it will randomly change my homepage, and many things have been added to my favorites list that neither I nor my family put on it. The computer locks up often and when I attempt to fix the problem by hitting control/alt/delete, I get a message that says, "System resources are dangerously low. Would you like to terminate this application?" I click yes, but nothing happens. Then I attempt the same procedure again but it asks me to terminate the same application over and over. I try to reach the restart option by going through the start menu, but when I click on the start button, nothing happens. I have already run SpyBot and AdAware. You will probably ask me for a Hijack This log file, but I can't figure out how to add an attachment to this message. I have looked for the browse option at the bottom of the post composition page but can't find it. Any help you could give would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

When you have saved your HijackThis log to txt file, open the file & copy the entire log to your clipboard. Simply paste it here in the body of your post.
Did you update both Adaware & spybot B4 use? If not, please do so & run them again, rebooting after & B4 posting the new log.

Here is a copy of the Hijack file. By the way, every time the computer is turned on or rebooted it says "Please wait while setup updates your configuration files." Also Spybot goes through the motions and finds the same 4 files. 3 say "Redirected Host" and the last one says "Register or Registry" I think. I immunize but it says "All known bad products are already blocked."

Hi. Close all (browser) windows & have HJT fix these entries by placing a check in the appropriate box=

O16 - DPF: {1D4DB7D2-6EC9-47A3-BD87-1E41684E07BB} - http://imgfarm.com/images/nocache/f...etup1.0.0.5.cab

Your next step is to go here & install ALL critical updates required for your system.

 

[flpanhead]

Hello Stillearning, I deleted the selected file as instructed and downloaded the critical updates but am still getting hyjacked. By looking at the Hyjack log that I ran this morning some of the "Host" files are back and so is the proxy override = localhost file that I deleted a day or two ago. Are they getting back in as fast as I can delete them? I do not have a firewall but am considering getting one. Would a firewall stop this from happening? Is Active X doing this to me and if so how do I turn Active X off or are there other ways to keep Active X and still be protected? I thank you very much for taking the time to help me with these problems.

Looking at that log the critical update isn't installed. IE6 should have SP1 installed otherwise you are still vulnerable to certain exploits. You can install spywareblaster to protect you from bad active x installs. Also spybot is able to install a list of known baddies into your hosts file, preventing redirection there. Can't remember offhand where the setting is for that. A small program called ie-spyad does the same.

Boot into safe mode & delete these entries with HJT making certain that only HJT is open.

reboot normally once done.

Firewalls are a must. Zonealarm & sygate both offer excellent free versions & are easy to use.

I deleted the files in safe mode that you mentioned in your last reply but they are back. When I tried to install the critical update I get a message that reads "A previous installation has pending work requiring a reboot. You need to restart your computer to complete that installation before running Internet Explorer Setup. Setup will now close." I can remember getting that message a long time age when I downloaded several updates but I had forgotten about it. How can I remedy this problem and get the critical update to complete the installation?

 

[cybertech]

Reboot your machine and post another log.

Hello cybertech, Here's the latest log. By the way when I try to save the Hyjack log I get a message that says "Windows cannot locate C:\ BMP.exe. This file is needed to run this file or something like that." I have tried to locate it without success. What can I do to fix the problem?

 

[cybertech]

You didn't post the log.

 

[flpanhead]

Sorry, I guess I got sidetracked. Since sending the last reply I have downloaded the Zonealarm firewall program. Here's the log.

Close all browser windows and applications before clicking "fix checked".

What of your original problems still exist?

 

[flpanhead]

Deleted the 2 files per instructions. Haven't been hyjacked since downloading the firewall. Problem 1: The computer will still lock up and when I hit ctrl/alt/del I am still getting the message that says "System resources are dangerously low, would I like to terminate the following application?" Then it goes through the list of things that are running as I click ctrll/alt/del each time and close some of the programs. I don't know if I should close all of them so usually either hit ctrl/alt/del a second time and the computer restarts or I have to hit the power button to get it to do anything. My computer has 384 megs of SDRAM so should I be that low on resources? Problem 2: Can't seem to get the critical update to finish installation (see reply #9 to get the specifics.) Thanks!
