thx again

Email me a date and time... syntaxmaster@hotmail.com I will take control over your computer and get rid of this for you if you would like. Couple questions first:

Did you run an updated ad-aware scan?
Did you run an updated mcafee scan?

What OS are you running?
What is your ISP..

Try to use http://www.antiviraldp.com (Digital Patrol) for detect your malware.

ALl his info is in his HJT log.

You have an adult content dialer along with the makemeseasrch hijack, as well as a backdoor trojan that puts antivirus sites in your hosts files.

Goto pandasoftware.com and do an online scan, since the trojan blocks out symantec. Let it fix what it finds.

Create a new folder for your hijackthis! to run from there. This is to avoid backups being sprawled all over your desktop.

Open your taskmanager and end the tibs3.exe process. Then using windows explorer delete the tibs3 folder

scan with HJT and fix the following.

As far as your netmarble class cabs, unless you put them there remove them also.

Hi,

You will find the solution to this problem in earlier posts (may be 3-4 months ago). All you have to do is to remove the offending virus program from the 'add/remove program' facility in the control panel. Now, the problem is I forgot the name of the program to be removed. So have a look at the previous posts to find out. Another way of doing is to go through the list of the programs and remove the unrecognised suspected ones.

[orion]

Oh yeah ! The name of the program to be removed is 'Search Bar'. The earlier posts on this is in a thread not far from this one. Lol !

[Unregistered]

yes but his homepage is hijacked. It needs to be fixed with HJT since he already has it installed. removing the searchbar doesn't fix the change in his registry in regards to his homepage.
