    I do not see the about blank problem in your log. Did you delete it already before posting. There are some other things there you should get rid of (like Wild Tangent).

    If you are sure you are having an about:blank problem following the below steps:

    We are going to use a program called DLLFIX.EXE to try to fix this about:blank problem.
    However before starting, I want you to make sure you have the following programs installed and UPDATED (very important) on your PC for later use:
    1) Ad-aware
    2) SpyBot S&D
    3) CWShredder
    4) Hijaak This
    All of these are available here: http://www.majorgeeks.com/downloads31.html

    Now get DLLFIX.EXE from: http://tools.zerosrealm.com/dllfix.exe
    1) Save the file to your Desktop, double click dllfix.exe and follow the prompts. This will create a folder called dllfix on your desktop.
    2) Click on this folder and then double click on start.bat.
    3) Select option 1 Run Find-All to scan your PC. This will create a log file.
    4) Post this log back here before running any fixes.

    I'm not 100% sure about SBCIE026.DLL but I do feel good about it. Can you just find this DLL with
    Windows Explorer and try renaming to SBCIE026.OLD for now. You may have to boot in safe mode to do that:
    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {08351226-6472-43BD-8A40-D9221FF1C4CE} - C:\WINDOWS\DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES\SBCIE026.DLL


    Now reset your web settings, if you do not know how to do that go here:
    http://www.pestpatrol.com/Support/HowTo/How_To_Clear_a_Hijack.asp
    and under the Search Hijacks section see the info on "Reset Web Settings".



    Note: If you don't know how to start in safe mode, see the following link:

    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406


    Are you still being sent to about:blank now?

    ok, i fixed all those problems...i guess that took care of it...im not sure because it didn't load the about:blank everytime, but it did it a few times a day. hopefully when i restart next time, it wont happen, and it will be cleaned up for good. my computer still runs slow, but i;m hoping its not virus related. thank you for your help

    ok, all sorts of new problems now...IE opened to about:blank again, even after deleting what you suggested. on top of that, i cannot open "my briefcase"...when the solitare game is opened, all the letters are strange symbols and it wont play...the start menu is now compressed down where you cannot read anything, just see symbols.

    i ran ad-aware, and it found a file named llmapia.dll .... also, ad-aware had previously told me about a file named "sp" that was in the windows/temp folder...i have deleted it, and it replicates itself and comes back, as it has done again. as you see below, its all over the place. deleting the file will solve the problem temporarily...but im looking for a permanent fix...here is the hijackthis log from right now, when IE opens to about:blank and when I have all the other problems mentioned above....please help...there is something nasty in this computer and i just want to get this solved.

    Get DLLFIX.EXE from: http://tools.zerosrealm.com/dllfix.exe

    1) Save the file to your Desktop, double click dllfix.exe and follow the prompts. This will create a folder called dllfix on your desktop.
    2) Click on this folder and then double click on start.bat.
    3) Select option 1 Run Find-All to scan your PC. This will create a log file.
    4) Post this log back here before running any fixes.

    Ooops! Sorry! I forgot that. Try installing and running PrcView: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4246.html

    After installing click on the runme9x.bat file and select option 2 for Internet Explorer DLL's

    Post the log back here.
     
  11. specialk128

    specialk128 Private E-2

    when i run that and select option 2, it says bad command or file name, then opens up a blank log in notepad
     
  12. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Okay get to an MS-DOS command prompt in the directory where you installed PrcView.
    Do a DIR command and make sure you see the pv.exe file.

    Type this command: pv -m iexplorer.exe > ielog.txt

    Now open that ielog.txt file with notepad and copy it into your next message.
     
  13. specialk128

    specialk128 Private E-2

    i see the pv.exe file...but i type in the pv -m iexplorer.exe and it says bad command or file name again. it might just be that i'm not 100% sure what i'm doing in ms-dos...the prompt is on c:windows, and it wont change...i cant change the directory. so maybe i'm not doing something right, but i cant get the log open that you want to see
     
  14. specialk128

    i have no idea if this is helpful in any way, but i opened something else...prcview.exe...i was looking at another website, and it kinda directed me there...this is the log from that...if its no help, sorry to take up room here.

    The original file was pv.zip. Where did you unzip it to? You have to be in that directory (it creates a directory where ever you unzip to called pv). Inside the pv directory you should see a total of 9 files (10 if it already created a log.txt file from running).

    i now have that folder...when i run the runme9x program now, and choose option 2, it says pv:no matching processes found. i just cant get ms-dos to change from c:\windows...the pv stuff is in my documents folder, then in a separate folder called pv
     
  17. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    When you get to the DOS prompt which probably show c:\windows, type:

    cd \mydocu~1

    Then cd to the folder where you put PV.
    Once there run as indicated in previous message.

    ok, solved the ms-dos prompt issue:) ...and i see the pv.exe file when i get a directory...however, i type the command pv -m iexplorer.exe and it says pv:no matching processes found...not sure if im still doing something wrong, or if that tells you something about my computer

    Ooops! My bad! I forgot to tell you to have one internet explorer session running when you execute that command. Sorry about that. Give it a try now!

    i have the majorgeeks.com window open, so i can follow the directions. when i type in the command, i still get the pv:no matching processes found
     
  21. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Damn!!! Look at all these logs is making my eyes go! Again my fault. It's iexplore.exe not iexplorer.exe.

    pv -m iexplore.exe

    Looks like some duplicate info is this and it is a little hard to read this way. Could you do this again but this time:

    1) make sure everything is shut down except one iexplore.exe session
    2) then execute the command this way (I'm adding another command line option for more info and also sorting it) Note: the | sign is on the Shifted \ key above the Enter key.

    pm -e -m iexplore.exe | sort > log.txt

    3) But this time do not cut and paste the log.txt file. Attach the whole log.txt file as an attachment.

    I do not see anything strange in there. Okay can you do the following:

    1) download CrapCleaner from http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4191.html
    2) install it and run it.
    3) On the Windows tab just accept the defaults and click the Run Cleaner on the bottom right.
    4) Now run HijaakThis and fix if still there from previous log:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = file://c:\windows\TEMP\sp.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = file://c:\windows\TEMP\sp.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = file://c:\windows\TEMP\sp.html
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = file://c:\windows\TEMP\sp.html
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = file://c:\windows\TEMP\sp.html
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = file://c:\windows\TEMP\sp.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank


    Now find these two files with Win Explorer and rename them as below:
    C:\WINDOWS\DOWNLOADED PROGRAM FILES\SBCIE026.DLL ------> SBCIE026DLL.BAD
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LLMAPIA.DLL ------> LLMAPIADLL.BAD

    If you cannot do that right now, boot to safe mode and rename them.

    Then reboot in normal mode and let's see what's up.

    ok..ran crapcleaner...deleted a lot of files...then ran hijackthis...all those files were there, so i fixed them all. looked in both normal mode, then in safe mode for those two files to rename, but neither of them existed...restarted again in normal mode (where i am right now)...IE opened right back to about:blank...that "sp" file is still in the temp folder, meaning it has replicated itself again...not to mention i keep having random popups saying i have spyware on my computer, which are extremely annoying...this is the hijackthis log from right now, after doing everything you told me to, then restarting...as you can see, its all right back where it was before...not sure what all this means...i must have something nasty floating around in here...

    Exactly how did you look for those two files?
     
  28. specialk128

    specialk128 Private E-2

    i looked in the folders, where they would be...then i searched using the find feature...i'm not sure of any other way to go about finding them

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Have you enabled viewing of hidden files and have you turned off the hiding of extensions for know file types. You do this from Windows Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View
     
  30. specialk128

    specialk128 Private E-2

    yeah, i did both of those, then restarted in safe mode...i was able to change the llmapia file...but the other one is not there...i changed both the tools settings and its still not in that folder...i was able to change the other file though to make it .bad

    ok, deleted the stuff from hijackthis...ran cwsshredder...it removed the cws.searchx.....ran adaware...it removed the same things it has for awhile, the "sp" file, and other related items...ran spybot, it just found 1 tracking cookie, which i erased. i reset the home page, and i am going to shut down my computer now, but when i restart in the morning, we'll see what happens. thank you so much for all your help the last two days...hopefully this will solve the problem once and for all...this is so frustrating, i thank you so much for helping me through it.

    well...just turned my computer on this morning...and i'm right back to the about:blank screen...meaning it all came right back with a restart. i thought it might have actually been gone, but this damn problem just won't disappear...any other ideas how to go about tracking this thing down?

    A couple more items to try that could help us find this piece of crap:

    1) Security Task Manager. Download it from http://www.neuber.com/taskmanager/download.html Check it out. Maybe we can find some process running that is suspicious. This is 30 day trial software use it quickly.

    2) Also download this http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/source/regmon.shtml and have it running. Maybe we can catch registry activity too.

    With the above two items running lets see if we can catch what goes on when you open up internet explorer.

    here you go...appears to be the same to me...although i cant help but notice that where the llmapia file was before...now there is one called IIO.dll...my untrained eye says that could be a problem. but everything else looks the same...Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7

    the security task manager found three files im not sure about...one is the IIO.dll file, another is in the system folder (same place as the IIO one) and is SQLNA.dll, and the third is in an IM folder and is called Idle Monitor DLL (listed as IDLemon.dll)...

    and im not quite sure what to be looking at/for on the registry monitor, but it did find almost 58000 results...
     
  41. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Okay! I think the starting problem may be the sqlna.dll file and it may spawn the IIO.dll file. I remember on a name similar to that (if not the same) on someone else's system having this about blank problem. They had WinXP though and it was found in the registy in AppInit_DLLs which made it easier to work on resolving the problem.

    IDLdemon.dll is a hack some one made to use with AOL Instant Messenger to make you look like you idle when you on line.

    The IIO.dll and sqlna.dll may both be hidden from viewing normally. First I want to have your search the registry to see if you can find either of these two DLLs in it. In fact search for the previous (LLMAPIA.DLL ) file too. To do this, click Start, Run, and then enter regedit and click OK. Now with the registry editor open, click Edit, Find, and then enter the DLL filename, then click Find Next. If found, make note or the full path to the registry key were it is found (this full path appear in the bottom of the window). After finding it continue searching until you hit the end of the registry. We need to make sure that there aren't multiple occurrences. Do the same for each DLL? You will have to click in the left hand part of the Registry Editor window and get yourself back to the top by clicking on the MyComputer icon in the editor. You need to do that before beginning the next search so you start at the beginning each time.

    sorry about the slow response time, but after having the last two days off of work, i had to go back today.

    anyway, i searched the registry and here's what i found...

    NO SQLNA.dll files
    NO LLMAPIA.dll files
    4 IIO.dll files (here are the locations if that means anything):

    MyComputer\HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{8BF69AC2-C118-11D8-83E5-00505A850E35}\InProcServer32

    Get a tool for backing up your registry. Check RegCleaner out: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download460.html

    Use it and make backup of your registry.

    First try booting in safe mode (or even DOS mode if necessary) and see if you can locate those three dlls we are talking about and move them to a new folder like c:\junk.
     
  44. specialk128

    specialk128 Private E-2

    ok, moved the IIO file to the c:junk folder...still cant find the sqlna file, either in normal mode or safe mode. and the llmapia file is gone too. also, just as a side note, i can't run the security task manager you had me download yesterday...it just gives me an error each time...don't know if thats related. downloaded the regcleaner too...dont know if i can use that to help...not sure how to make a backup with it either...but i do know that sqlna file is hidden away really well.
     
  45. chaslang

    chaslang MajorGeeks Admin - Master Malware Expert Staff Member

    Not sure why Security Task Manager will not work. It is supposed to be for all Win OS's. You could try process explorer for win9x: http://www.sysinternals.com/ntw2k/freeware/procexp.shtml

    Also try downloading Registrar lite and install it: http://www.resplendence.com/reglite
    Do a search with it to see if you can find the sqlna.dll file

    This crap is a real bear to find. Have you made sure you enable view of Hidden Files and folders in Windows Explorer. Also make sure you have not check "hide extensions for known file types". You do this with Win Explorer, Tools, Folder Options, View. We need to find that DLL and get rid of it. It is the root of all problems.

    Sounds like similar issues to what I had in this thread: http://www.majorgeeks.com/vb/showthread.php?t=34456&page=1&pp=20

    But again that was WinXp which had the AppInit_DLLs location in the registry. Once we deleted that we could see the DLL and remove it.
     
  46. specialk128

    downloaded registrar lite...didn't find sqlna there either...

    i get this message when i try to open task manager...

    it worked before, thats how i found this file in the first place...now it doesnt.

    ive got all the hidden files turned on, so everything should be showing....somehow, this file still isnt. do you think if we remove the sqlna file this will all disappear? is there any way to track this thing down?
     
  47. specialk128

    specialk128 Private E-2

    one more thing...i can run the task manager, just with the message over it...and i click on the sqlna file that it finds, and there is an option to remove it...do you think thats worth trying, or will that do more harm then good.
     
  48. specialk128

    specialk128 Private E-2

    ok...so at the same time i made the first post here, i also posted on another forum (hoping multiple forums would produce one answer). someone finally got back to me on the other one and gave me a different suggestion. i decided to try it out tonight, just frustrated with this damn file...it made the file appear. i immediately deleted it, ran adaware and cwsshredder, and cleaned up the rest of the files. so the sqlna file is now gone from my computer (at least for now). however, every other time ive deleted things and thought i fixed the problem, a computer restart brought it all back. i'll let you know what happens when i turn my computer back on in the morning, but hopefully this will all be coming to an end soon. thank you again for all your help...hopefully the bug will be gone for good...if not, i'll be right back here tomorrow, racking your brain for help some more. thank you! :)

    Make sure you update and run Ad-aware today. They just added new references and I have had some luck fixing other peoples problems with it and a little HijaakThis clean up. Although to be positive it's fixed, we have to wait a while.
