    Hi

    When the pc starts up ie opens a web page url: freewebs.com/abuseFrozen.htm.

    Have run Avast, spybot & adaware but nothing found.
    Homepage is set to google
    Checked msconfig and startup file and nothing suspicious. MSConfig has these items ticked:

    khooker
    RunDll32 cmicnfg
    jusched
    qttask
    ashDisp
    realsched
    ctfmon
    msnmsgr


    Does anyone have any idea what is causing the page to open and how to stop it.

    Thanks

    Charlotte

    Please follow the steps below:

    - If you are using msconfig to disable any startups then run msconfig and select Normal Startup. We need to see everything that may load on your system.

    - Run ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal

    Make sure you check version numbers and get all updates.

    - Very Important: Make sure you tell us the results from running the tutorial...was anything found? Were you unable to complete any of the scans?...Were you unable to download any of the tools?...Did you do the on-line scans as suggested? etc.


    After doing ALL of the above you still have a problem make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps below:

    - Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    - Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    - Do NOT run Hijack This from the Desktop, a temp folder, or a sub-folder of C:\Documents and Settings, or choose to run it directly from the downloaded ZIP file.

    - Before running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

    - Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    - Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next message. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post).
