TheSearchMall hijacked IE6 Browser HELP

Postby CanadianTek » Thu Jun 10, 2004 5:56 pm

:shock:

Help! Kinda new to the Hijack This utility - was over at a friends last night.. their internet is cut off.. by all the spyware activity going on..

So.. I took a utility disk and my laptop over..

1) deleted all cookies, temp internet files including off line content - changed the default home page back to www.canoe.ca (later over to rogers.com to no avail)

installed and ran Stinger (dated June 5 off my util cd)- found/removed 8 copies of Netsky good.. removed..

loaded (from my util cd)and ran Ad-aware removed 120 spies/objects

was able to sustain a connection to the net long enuf to upgrade AAW to 1R315
and.. get a live update for their Norton's AV.. which came back clean

went into msconfig - disabled 19 unnecessary launches (all confirmed as spies/ad pushers etc - via cross-references in google searchs from my laptop)

tried to launch IE6 - was redirected to toolbar2.i-lookup.com
used my laptop to do a google search on how to remove that hijack..

hits came back suggesting to use SPYBOT S and D - or reg edit so i started with Spybot v 1.2 and it found 12 that adaware missed.. but still could not get in to IE

Followed thru with the instructions to edit the registry, reluctantly did so.. but was able to successfully remove.. toolbar2.i-lookup.com only problem is.. waiting in the wings.. was

TheSearchMall.com

went back to ad-aware.. customized it to scan deeeper, including archives, compressed, etc..

FOUND 195 more (including TVM and sxmlm etc) - quarantined and deleted))

Still could not get to net..

Their ISPis ROGERs HIGH SPEED INTERNET - its a Cable company.. and i thought perhaps - reinstalling the IE6 that comes with their utility disk might have helped restore any corrupted files or reset some of the registers - but to no avail i was not able to connect.. (Rogers comes with SHS - self healing software) - which helps troubleshoot/pinpoint what the problem is.. it too was unable to obtain a net connection..

Downloaded HiJackThis .. and here is my friends log.. shows

I hope there is something in there that raises a few eyebrows..

im not too comfy with that vacpro.canada thing.. it may be reminance from their previous dialup ISP... but not sure..

nor am i comfy with dpf c:\install.cab... or smartdownloader.com.. not sure what they are either (like i said im new to this)

If anyone can help - i would greatly appreciate it

You might want to download and use SpyBot 1.3. SpyBot 1.2 is no longer being supported and may do a better job of cleaning the system. In addition I would advise you install SpywareBlaster.

Do as RB suggests. After running SpyBot do the following if they still exist:

Turn off System Restore. (Turn it back on after this is repaired and you've rebooted.) Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant =

Now delete these Folders or Files that are Highlighted: (You may need enable "Show all Files" and disable "Hide System Files" in Windows Explorer / Tools / Folder Options / View Tab) (You may have to boot to "Safe Mode" in order to delete some Files/Folders)

C:\WINDOWS\System32\winsrm32.dll

Now, empty your TEMP Folder / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and reboot.
