Having some problems with IE

Hi,
I think the page was updated, so step 5 is not step 5 now... Possibly because I do not see a step 5 that could cause a can not find path specified error.

Lets cover a couple bases here:
What is the step instructions giving you that error?
Can you use Hijack This to remove what you do not need yourself per the tutorial?

Let me know.

 

First, you do not show any signs of having the HSA aka Only the Best hijack. You do not need to run the tutorial and there is no way you could have run step 5 because you would not have had an R0 or R1 line with the problem file.

You need to get the newest HijackThis 1.98.2 (just came out): http://www.majorgeeks.com/download3155.html

Also you need to get HijackThis into its own directory. Not a temp directory, not your desktop, and do not run it out of a ZIP file. You currently have it here:
C:\Documents and Settings\Chelsea\Local Settings\Temp\Temporary Directory 1 for hijackthis.zip\HijackThis.exe

Make a c:\Program Files\HJT directory and put the executable in there. That way it has a safe place to store its backups.

First we need to unregister a DLL file. Click Start, and then click Run. (The Run dialog box appears.)
Type, or copy and paste, the following text:
regsvr32 /u C:\WINDOWS\System32\Zedd4.dll
then click OK. If a dialog box confirming this action appears, click OK.

Run HijackThis and put check marks on the following lines and then shut down all applications especially Internet Explorer sessions (including the one you are reading this from) and then click Fix:
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch =
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Toolbar,LinksFolderName =

Did you place this restriction on Internet Explorer Control Panel using SpyBot or another program. If so, leave the next line alone. Otherwise fix it too.
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

Note: I'm not sure what this NewsFlsh.exe program is. It appears to be some kind of WebSniffer. If you do not know what it is and did not install it, this line should be fixed too. But I would first look in Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs to see if there is an uninstaller. If not then fix the below line with HijackThis too.
O4 - Global Startup: MySoftware NewsFlash.lnk = C:\Program Files\Common Files\MySoftware\NewsFlsh.exe

Now reboot in safe mode: http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam

And find the below using Windows Explorer and delete them:
C:\WINDOWS\System32\Zedd4.dll
C:\Program Files\Common Files\MySoftware <--- The whole directory if you have decided that this is something you did not install or want.

 

Yes. But do not click Fix while any applications other then HijackThis are running. Especially Internet Explorer.

 

Thanks Chaslang, I stepped out for the evening to see a couple local bands, so I could not respond until now.

 

Cool! Can you still hear!

 

Juan,

Come back and let us know if everything worked out okay.
