    aLLiKZar It's not too late to back out!

    Recently my sister gave me her PC to fix. She says
    she has weird net problems. I said shes probably
    hijacked. I ran SpyBot, AdAware, CWShredder,
    and still some issues. Here's the log, any advice
    would be helpful.

    aLLiKZar,

    Are you sure you ran fully updated versions of Ad-Aware & SpyBot S&D?

    Clean up the following with HiJaak This:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:blank
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = res://C:\PROGRA~1\SEARCH~1\TOOLBAR.DLL/sa
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,SearchAssistant = about:blank
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,CustomizeSearch = res://C:\PROGRA~1\SEARCH~1\TOOLBAR.DLL/sa
    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {87766247-311C-43B4-8499-3D5FEC94A183} - C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\WTOOLSB.DLL
    O3 - Toolbar: &Search Toolbar - {339BB23F-A864-48C0-A59F-29EA915965EC} - C:\PROGRA~1\SEARCH~1\TOOLBAR.DLL
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [bxxs5] RunDLL32.EXE C:\WINDOWS\BXXS5.DLL,DllRun
    O4 - Startup: PowerReg Scheduler.exe


    Unless you purposely installed the WTools stuff get rid of these two lines also:

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WinTools] C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WToolsA.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [WinTools] C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools\WToolsA.exe

    Then reboot into Safe Mode and find and delete the following folder

    C:\Program Files\Common files\WinTools


    Note the bxxs5.dll is part of the Bookedspace adware program and may require some work to cleanup. Take a look at these links they could help:

    Hmm I think I can read what the boards say.

    Well Xflat I did read that many times. Seeing that there were many posts for Hijack logs, I figured that there was help there. Sorry for thinking that. Next time I'll make the effort to go to a different forum. Maybe you missed that I ran SpyBot, AdAware, CWShredder, and still was having some issues. I did make sure that they were all updated.


    Anyways, thanks chaslang, I'll give that a try.

    Hey Allikzar,
    Chill out and stick around X-flat was just reacting to what seems to be a glut of Hijack logs lately, and unfortunately 99% dont bother reading the F.A.Qs and just jump in with a log file which should only be used as a last resort
    And the problem is because they havent bothered running Ad-Aware etc the log files can be very cluttered which can take us guys a long time to sort out

    Im glad to see you drop into the 1% category who have made the effort, im sure The X man doesnt need me to speak on his behalf but i thought i would anyway, so stick around and youll find hes a top man here ;)

    Anyway follow Chaslangs excellent advice and if you still have any problems let us know

    Just to add my 02 after reading through your log i would advice dumping all the lines with this in it is in fact spyware
    htt://red.clientapps.yahoo.com/cus...//www.yahoo.com

    and do you know what this is
    O4 - Startup: Refresh.lnk = C:\WINDOWS\Installer\{00010409-78E1-11D2-B60F-006097C998E7}\pptico.exe

    Thanks G-Lee, I kind of figured that his response was due to all the other Hijack logs and spyware questions that have bombarded the board. It just ticked me off because it seemed like he didn't even read my original post and just "assumed" that I have no idea what a computer is.

    But I+I survive, I'll pass all the info to my sister and hopefully we could get this figured out. Not sure what the pptico.exe is. Google comes up with no info on it. Well have to do more research on that.

    General & Allikzar,

    I just assumed pptico.exe was part of this: http://www.uen.org/Lessonplan/preview.cgi?LPid=3307

    Not sure whether that is good or bad. Probably falls into the realm of questionable-ware.

    Good spot Chas :cool:
    i couldnt find squat on that so just thought id ask, guess Allikzars sister would know if thats what it is

    Yea, saw that link and shes not a teacher in any way
    so I think that she does not need that there. All the
    other links we all in Korean, so I couldn't understand it.

    Thanks again G-Lee and Chas
