Lost Yahoo Toolbar

Somewhere somehow I lost the yahoo toolbar. When I try to click view/yahoo toolbar it doesn't do anything. There is no check mark by it nor will it allow me to check it.

Now my computer is running slower than molasses in January too. Can anyone help? Here's my HiJack this list:

Edit by bjgarrick: Unrequested, Inline HJT log removed!

 

sorry; here is the list as an attachment

 

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:



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 ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

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 post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).

Followed all instructions to a T...man it took all day n half the night!
BitDefender found 3 Trojan files: Whenu.A, Whenu.C, Exploit.Dialogarg.L
HRS removed 8 items
Everything else ran clean.

Still can't get my Yahoo toolbar. Attached is my HiJack file.

 

Are you familiar with YHsmiles? If so, is it safe and do you trust it?

 

I've had YHSmiles way longer than the toolbar. It's never been a problem.

 

Scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

Make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

Again, make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

NOW:
Navigate to and DELETE the following if they should remain:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\blank.htm

NEXT:
Run CCleaner to clean up cookies and temp files.

After you complete the above reboot and then follow the below.

Copy the contents of the Quote Box below to Notepad. Then click File and then Save As. Change the Save as Type to All Files. Name the file iefix.reg and then click save. (make sure you save it somewhere you can find it. Saving it to your Desktop may make that easy.)

Double-click on the iefix.reg file on your desktop (or locate it with Windows Explorer and double click on it if not saved to the Desktop) and when it prompts to merge, click YES!

Now that you have a clean system, procede with the below:

-Click here to re-download the toolbar.

After you complete the install reboot and let me know if any problems remain.

 

Just logged in and read your last post. I really appreciate all of your help and will still delete the files that you suggested. I fixed my missing toolbar by unloading/deleting yahoo messenger and reinstalling it. The toolbar appeared immediately.

 

Are you having any further problems?

 

No further problems. Thank you for your assistance!
