Solved: Possible IE Browser Hijack

[Spicey25]

I have Windows Visa Premium PC. I am not able to connect to the internet with Windows Internet Explorer Browser. When I try to connect it opens up to http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=76277 and I get the message Internet Explorer Cannot Display This Web Page. I am not able to connect to any websites through IE. But I am able to connect using Mozilla Firefox. I am most concerned about the 01 and 013 entries in my HJT log.

I have attached my HJT log. Please help. Thank you.

It looks like you've removed the following entries:

O1 - Hosts: ::1 localhost
O13 - Gopher Prefix:

These are actually legit files, used by Vista, so we need to get them back.

To restore the backups:

• Open HiJackThis
• Click on "View the list of Backups"
• Place a check mark next to everything in that window
• Click Restore
• Click Yes
• Reboot your computer
• Run HiJackThis and post a new HiJackThis log for review.

Also, you have a combination of Norton and McAfee running. The site advisor from McAfee can cause some people problems, so you may want to decide on which to keep, as they can conflict with each other.

I restored the 01 and 013 entries from HJT backups, but the files did not return to the host file. I believe it is because I used Hostman to update the Host File. Here is the current HJT log. My computer is less than 1 month old. I guest I may need to reformat. Please advise. Thank you.

Thank you so much. I ran the ATF Cleaner by selecting all to clean. The Prefetch section was disabled.

Here is the OTSCcanIT. I was not able to upload due to the file being more than 500KB. So I split it into to two file attachments.

Thanks again.

 

[eddie5659]

Hmmm, not much there

Are you still having the same problem? The link you orginally gave is a Microsoft page, that explains what to do after installing Internet Explorer 7.

If its still causing problems, we'll try a few other things

 

[Spicey25]

Since my PC is only one month old. I have solved the issue by reinstalling Vista. All is OK now. Thank you so much for you assistance.
