    Hey ive been having some problems with spyware, i have ran alot of spyware removal programs and they got rid of some of the problems but not all of them. I ran hijack this and im not sure what i should delete, last time i deleted everything that showed up on the scan my internet stopped working. I would greatly appreciate it if you could tell me what is harmful and should be deleted. This is the logfile from my Hijackthis scan. Thank you for your time.

    Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.0
    Scan saved at 12:23:13 AM, on 1/6/2005
    Platform: Windows XP (WinNT 5.01.2600)
    MSIE: Internet Explorer v6.00 (6.00.2600.0000)

    Edit by chaslang: Unrequested, inline log deleted. Please follow guidelines.

    Please follow forum guidelines! Read and follow the sticky threads. There are restrictions on what to do before posting HJT logs, what to shut down before running, where to install it, and how and when to post it. You have a load of trojans running. Follow the steps below.

    First, please follow ALL the steps in this Sticky thread READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal
    If you already have any of the programs linked in the tutorial please double check your version to make sure you have the latest one and that you have any/all updates for the programs.

    NOTE: In order to resolve the issues you are having it is very important that you at least try to perform all the steps as outlined. If you have any difficulty please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything and details about any problems you have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better.


    After doing ALL of the above if you still have a problem:

    Make sure you have HijackThis 1.99 and follow the guidelines on where to install it and how to post a log as an attachment. This is all covered in the sticky thread NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

    Now post a HijackThis log as an attachment to your message (Do not post the log inline). All running programs should be closed, including your web browser, e-mail. Close before running Hijack This!

    To repeat: 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. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT

    Also your OS and IE version are seriously out of date and present major security risks.

    Im very sorry about posting the HJT log. I read that I can tell you the symptoms I am having so here it goes. The only thing that is truly bothering me is when i search on internet explorer on google for example a window comes up for this site www.enhancedsearch.com and it gives me a search of what I did and I have to close it all the time. Please tell me how to remove this enhanced search program, I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you and sorry about before ;)

    I cannot tell how it is infecting your system. You need to follow the steps I gave you because it is typical that were there is one problem, there are more. Then after the READ ME if you still have a problem, follow my guidelines and post the HJT log.

    I would guess you will have some HJT lines looking like the below but I will have to see everything later:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.enhancedSearch.com/sidesearch.asp
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.enhancedSearch.com/search.asp
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.enhancedSearch.com/sidesearch.asp
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.enhancedSearch.com/search.asp
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.enhancedSearch.com/search.asp
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://www.enhancedSearch.com/search.asp
