    My Homepage Won't Change

    - I don't know what to do anymore... I've downloaded all the Spyware/Adware programs I could find, and they still don't seem to work. Even my "HijackThis" program won't delete all the viruses it finds, and my homepage continues to read "www.bestweblinks.com", each day seems to get worse. Every 10 seconds I get a random pop-up. I can't even go to "www.Yahoo.com" without it transferring me back to my homepage. No matter how many times I run a system scan, I always find the same viruses. Are the replicating themselves or something??? I downloaded Spy-Sweeper, HiJack This, Spy-Bot Search and Destroy, Browser Hijack Recover, CCleaner, Ad Aware, Stinger... WTF Is going on, what good are these programs if they don't even work? each time the same viruses keep returning, if not new ones. I don't know what to do.... Somone please help me.

    Please follow standard cleanup procedures as given below:

    - 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 and you still have a problem, make sure you have booted to normal mode and run the steps below:



    [​IMG] Download HijackThis 1.99.1

    [​IMG] Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

    [​IMG] 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 ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

    [​IMG]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.

    [​IMG]Run HijackThis and save your log file.

    [​IMG] Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).
