    hello, i have the about:blank homepage hijacker, psguard, and other spyware/trojans, i have read the stickies but my hijackthis log shows the forms which cannot be fixed with the procedure:

    in the sticky it is
    'R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = file://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\sp.html'

    when the line in hijackthis for my computer is:
    'R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS.000\felcp.dll/sp.html#83556'

    i think these are practically the same, so therefore cannot be fixed through the procedure in the sticky.
    Any help would be appreciated
    Thanks

    Download this file: SpSeHjfix109

    Unzip it to your desktop or to a folder.

    Boot into Safe Mode

    Start SpSeHjfix, click on " Desinfecton starten" (the other button means close) then it will reboot and finish the cleaning.

    Run SpSeHjfix one more time.

    Reboot in Normal mode.

    Run HijackThis again and post a new log. Also post the log from SpSeHjfix, the log should be on your desktop or the same folder as SpSeHjfix.

    From now on please post ALL logs as attachments to your post!

    Download the following two files, create a folder on your desktop, call it TSC. Save these 2 files there!

    Sysclean Package

    Pattern.zip

    Once you have these downloaded into the folder you just created, REBOOT INTO SAFE MODE!

    Once in Safe Mode double click the file sysclean.com. When the system cleaner loads, click SCAN to start the scanner. After you complete the scan reboot and procede with the below.


    Download Spy Sweeper 4.0.3.405 and install it.

    After you install make sure you get the updated spyware definitions. Then do a full sweep removing all infections. After you remove the infections with SpySweeper, reboot and attach a fresh HJT log!

    thanks for your reply, i am sorry for posting the logs, i realised my mistake but was unable to edit my post.
    i ran the programs, and they said they cleaned various viruses and psguard, however, psguard is still on my system, and i still have the trojan startpage, here is my recent hijack this log.

    1) Download TrojanHunter

    2) Install TrojanHunter, At the end of the install setup will prompt you to update definitions. Please do so!

    3) Once installed and updated, select drive C:\ and do a Full Scan. Remove all found infections.

    After you complete the above, reboot and attach a fresh HJT log.

    Please look in Add or Remove Programs for the following and Uninstall them if found:

    MessengerPlus! 3


    Now scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

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

    O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [MessengerPlus3] "C:\Program Files\MessengerPlus! 3\MsgPlus.exe"

    O9 - Extra button: Messenger - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\PROGRA~1\MESSEN~1\MSMSGS.EXE (file missing)
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: MSN Messenger Service - {FB5F1910-F110-11d2-BB9E-00C04F795683} - C:\PROGRA~1\MESSEN~1\MSMSGS.EXE (file missing)
    O9 - Extra button: Spyware Doctor - {2D663D1A-8670-49D9-A1A5-4C56B4E14E84} - C:\PROGRA~1\SPYWAR~1\TOOLS\IESDPB.DLL (file missing)

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

    NOW:
    Please boot into Safe Mode with the Viewing of Hidden Files & Folders Enabled and navigate to and DELETE the following if they should remain:

    C:\Program Files\MessengerPlus! 3 ←–– Delete this whole folder if it exist!

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

    Run full scans with Ad-Aware SE & Spybot S&D and have both programs fix what they find.
    Note: Remember to get all updates before doing the scans.

    Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start > Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:
    Temporary Files
    Temporary Internet Files
    Recycle Bin


    And Click OK.


    Reboot to Normal Windows , Scan with HijackThis and attach the new log.
