    Hi, I have a really anoying problem :rolleyes: and was wondering if anyone knows how to help me.

    Whenever I go on to internet explorer a page called http://enjoywebsurf.com/images/img.JPG comes up which is a page saying 'e search'.

    I have tried running all the programs on the trojan, viruses and spyware help page here, but they haven't help solve the problem. I've also downloaded hijackthis and followed the advice given to me about my log on Help2Go detective and Hijack This Analysis. This also hasn't helped...

    Would anyone here be able to look at my Hijackthis log and tell me what to fix??

    Thanks,
    Sip

    After doing ALL of the TUTORIAL if you still have a problem send is a HJT log. I won't be around this morning but maybe someone else will show up and take a look at it.
    Make sure you have HijackThis 1.99.1 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

    You skipped a few steps from the READ ME FIRST.

    1) You did not stop and disable the Network Security Service as given in Step 2 of Getting Prepared


    2) You did not run the Symantec online scan. Did you skip anything else?

    Please complete those two steps! And then post a new HJT log from normal boot mode. After posting you HJT log do not power down or reboot your PC because symptoms could change. You can disconnect from the internet (physically unplug the cable for security if on a DSL or Cable modem connection). Just wait for us to come back with a solution.


    Please explain way you would be running a PC with no antivirus application and no firewall. That is a safe thing to do as you may well realize now. You should start reading the below link:

    I hate spyware, makes me money but I hate it!

    The key to solve this problem is to remove the following registy key.

    HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\enum\root\LEGACY_(some random numbers)

    It is normally the first one that says LEGACY_something.

    It wont normally let you remove it so you need to change the Permissions on it. Right Click the key, Permissions add Administrator (yes you have to be one to remove it) and give yourself full control. Now you can delete it.

    Use Adaware and remove everything else it finds, then reboot. Or use HJT to remove the keys that look like

    res://C:\WINDOWS\vaepx.dll/sp.html#10213

    the dll filename changes randomly and the number at the end too. Remove the dll from your HDD too. If you only remove the dll but dont remove the LEGACY registry entry, the problem will be there when you reboot with another dll name.

    Problem should be solved. Worked for me after loosing half a day solving the problem.

    Good luck.

    You need to read our sticky threads. While what you mentioned is part of the problem and is covered in much more detail. It is only a small piece of the problem. Also, Ad-Aware will do nothing to fix these problems. And without stopping the running service as I stated in my last message, it will always recreate all problems and registry entries.

    My last message had a mistake though. I said
    In this particular instance, the problem serivce is not the Network Security Service. Is one of the other two that can be there. The below shows the problem service.
    O23 - Service: Workstation NetLogon Service (? 6QÔõ'ª´ÆÐ8) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\mfcju.exe

    G'day!
    The steps relayed so far worked to an extent, but not permanently.
    I tried CWShredder:

    http://www.spywareinfo.com/~merijn/downloads.html

    and that seems to be just the thing! No more enjoywebsurf.
    You'll have a "aww, crap, it didn't work" moment or two when you re-open your IE browser as it will go to the about:blank page, but do nothing. All you have to do is reset your home page to whatever it used to be and you're done!

    I also found a couple of JavaScripts in the root directory that appear to have been generated about the same time. I renamed them and deleted them later when the process was all done.

    Pretty ingenious, actually. This exploit appears to take advantage of a JavaScript error in the URL-encoded part. Once escaped, it becomes a couple of JavaScript function definitions. The rest of it is a semi-encrypted JavaScript. If anyone is interested, I'll post up the decrypted code...it was fun busting this thing open!

    So, all in all, it seems to be another CoolWebSearch variant. But it's killable!

    Please read our sticky threads! CWShredder is available here at MG's and is listed as part of our recommended cleanup. Also note that Merijn no longer owns CWShredder. Intermute does. Both versions are here on MGs.
