EZ Tracks & http://lb3.netster.com

OK I know I screwed up, it was 3 AM and many beers and I just wanted to hear Felix Papalardi and Lesli West of Mountain. I knew better , I used a crap e-mail, wrong name, etc. But now when I type a address into the IE address bar I get http://lb3.netster.com/index/Site=d3d3LndpZXJkbmouY29t.

Yup I uninstalled EZ tracks via the control panel, even searched out ez*.dll and Netster files found a few and deleted, looked for keys etc in reg file, deleted a key Semantic noted associated with this netster crap, I still am not rid of it. I have a copy of Hijack downloaded yesterday, I can send attachment of log if needed. I have run several spyware removal tools (demo crap) and nothing really stands out. AdawareSE personal, NoadwareV3.0 etc. I have Killbox and some others just at a loss as I canot seem to find the offending dll or exe.

Help, like I said I did it this time, should have known better but it was 3 AM and I was listining to old WABC NY airchecks etc, just wanted to hear Mountain.

Thanks,
Kristin

 

Wow - A serious blast from the past! Leslie West . . . . . Sad to say, but the only Mountain I remember is Misssissippi Queen.

Anyhoo, you should probably start with the Cleanup Tutorial HERE:

READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT: Basic Spyware, Trojan and Virus Removal

There are only a few of us Volunteers who regularly offer advice in this forum. Running through the above Tutorial will remove a lot of stuff that would otherwise clog a HijackThis Log and will save us valuable time.

Please let us know the steps that you are able to complete and the ones that give you problems. Note that you need to be in Safe Mode with System Restore OFF (if you have it) and have the Viewing of Hidden Files ENABLED as per the instructions in the link. Make sure to do the Online Scans.

Post back and let us know how you fared. Also, send us a HijackThis Log. Please be sure to follow the instructions below:

Note that your HijackThis should be up-to-date (v1.99.1) and MUST be extracted to its own safe folder – C:\Program Files\HijackThis ! Should you need a Fresh Download of HJT, get it HERE: HijackThis v1.99.1

Also note that, before you scan, you MUST close all running programs including your web browser, e-mail and items in the system tray.

Please save your HJT Log as a .txt File and attach it via the "Manage Attachments" tool in the Additional Options section when you post.

I will try to check back as time permits.

Best luck

Thanks,
I downloaded Asquared personal from the download page and it purged some 120+ instances of the EZ & Netster crap. Now when I type address into IE address bar I get my chosen search page again. It was a minor annoyance with the search but I would have allways wondered what else this was doing. Still jonesing for some Mountain tracks though! Remember Nantucket Sleighride, Crossroader, Theme from an imaginary western? Ah the "good old days"

Good old days indeed!

I've still got some Mountain on Vinyl (what's vinyl, daddy??? LOL) - Unfortunately, I sold my turntable a few years ago. Can't bring myself to sell the records, though . . .

Glad to see you got your problem sorted out! If you'd like to attach a HJT Log just to be sure, feel free.
