Have seen other forums where others have had similar problems; popups from 4bf65.ilxt.txt.
Have already been to Windows Update & downloaded critical updates.
Also have Norton Antivirus with automatice virus updates, regularly scan once a week for viruses. Have downloaded and run both Spybot and Adaware, plus HiJackThis. Log follows:

Go to Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs and remove the following if they are there:

MYSEARCH

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:\PROGRAM FILES\MYSEARCH
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\BHBEJ.DLL

Now, empty all your TEMP Folders (WinXp has up to 4 of them) / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin".

Do not open Internet Explorer (Or any other Windows) to come back here until after running the tool.

Double click Aboutbuster.exe, click OK, click Start, then click OK. This will scan your computer for the bad files and delete them.

Once the tool is done scanning, copy the log and paste it into your thread.
with a new Hijack this log.

I could not find MYSEARCH in Control Panel, but there is a MY SEARCH BAR
I also could not find C:\WINDOWS/SYSTEMS/BHBEJ.DLL, even in safe mode.
When Aboutbuster finished, was it supposed to create a log? I could not find one. Here's the latest HijackThis log:

Here's a Screenshot of the AboutBuster Start Window. I think that will answer your question. .

Don't run it now, go ahead with HJT and post a fresh HJT Log File.

Close all other open Windows and have HiJackThis Fix:[/b]

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = file://c:\windows\TEMP\sp.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = file://c:\windows\TEMP\sp.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = file://c:\windows\TEMP\sp.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = file://c:\windows\TEMP\sp.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank

Go to Control Panel / Add/Remove Programs and remove the following if they are there:

MY SEARCH BAR

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:\Program Files\MY SEARCH BAR

Now, empty all your TEMP Folders (WinXp has up to 4 of them) / Temporary Internet Files Folder and then empty your "Recycle Bin" and reboot.

Log File looks good.
Delete: C:\Program Files\MYSEARCH

Cannot find C:\Program Files\MYSEARCH to delete it.

by **brad** » Thu Jul 29, 2004 2:43 pm

Probably just an "Orphaned" entry.
Back up your Registry before doing the following:

Start / Run / Type regedit / Navigate to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall
Locate the Program and delete it's Folder.

OK, I did that; anything else.

By the way, I haven't seen any more instances of my home page being changed; thanks immensely for that.

Not if everything is running good. Let us know..
