About:Buster is not corrupted. You probably did not install it to its own folder which is required. And you only need About:Buster if you have an HSA or an about:blank hijacker.

The other PC could be at risk if you share drives/folders on your network or if you surf in the same places that caused the problems to begin with.

iexplore.exe is Internet Explorer (your browser).


- 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).

 

System Restore should be enable when we finish fixing problems.

iexplore.exe does not need to be loaded at start up! iexplore.exe is your Internet Explorer browser. Please do not use msconfig to inhibit loading of programs. In order to properly determine what is going on with your PC, we must see all programs that could load. Run msconfig and select Normal Startup. Then reboot your PC and post a new HJT log.

Is the below a valid site that you visit?

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.btownsound.com/

What problems, if any, are you having?

 

If you are using WinXP or WinMe, make sure you have system restore disabled (per the tutorial).
For all OS types, make sure viewing of hidden files is enabled (per the tutorial).

Please run HijackThis and click on the "Open the Misc Tools Section" button on the open page. Then select "Open process manager" on the left-hand side. Look for the following process (or processes) and one at a time kill them (if found) by selecting it and then click "Kill process". Then click yes.
c:\windows\system32\iexpIore.exe

After killing all the above processes, click "Back".
Then please click "Scan" and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinProfile] iexpIore.exe

After clicking Fix, exit HJT.

Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
c:\windows\system32\iexpIore.exe

If you get an error when deleting a file. Right click on the file and check to see if the read only attribute is checked. If it is, uncheck it and try again. Other wise open Task Manager and kill the process if running then delete the file. Let me know if you do not find these or cannot delete it.

Now empty you Recycle Bin and then go to c:\windows\Prefetch and look for any similar named files and delete them.

Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log. And tell us how things are working.

 

You're welcome.

We missed one:

O8 - Extra context menu item: &Search - http://bar.mywebsearch.com/menusearch.html?p=ZCxdm344

Just have HJT fixed that line. How are things working?

 

Your log is clean. Make sure you now run all the steps in the below to help keep it clean:
