Hijacked explorer

Welcome to Major Geeks!


Download HostsXpert and then follow the below steps.

• Unzip HostsXpert.zip
• It will create a folder named HostsXpert in whatever folder you extract it to.
• Run HostsXpert.exe by double clicking on it.
• Click the Make Writeable? button. (if you only see a Make Read-Only selection, it is already writeable so skip this button).
• Click Restore Microsoft's Hosts File and then click OK.
• Click the X to exit the program

I strongly recommend that you stop loading BitTorrent DNA at startup. It is leaving your PC open to the world.

What is the below that I see installed?
dj_sf_software_req

Now we need to use ComboFix

• Make sure that combofix.exe that you downloaded while doing the READ & RUN ME is on your Desktop but Do not run it!
  • If it is not on your Desktop, the below will not work.
• Open Notepad and copy/paste the text in the below quote box into it:

• Save the above as CFscript.txt and make sure you save it to the same location (should be on your Desktop) as ComboFix.exe
• At this point, you MUST EXIT ALL BROWSERS NOW before continuing!
• You should have both the ComboFix.exe and CFScript.txt icons on your Desktop.
• Now use your mouse to drag CFscript.txt on top of ComboFix.exe
• Follow the prompts.
• When it finishes, a log will be produced named c:\combofix.txt
• I will ask for this log below

Note:

Do not mouseclick combofix's window while it is running. That may cause it to stall.


Now delete all files in the below folders except ones from the current date (Windows will not let you delete the files from the current day).
C:\Windows\Temp
C:\Users\Hedgehog PC\AppData\Local\Temp
Now run Ccleaner!

Now run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat file by double clicking on it (Note: if using Vista, don't double click, use right click and select Run As Administrator).

Then attach the below logs:

• C:\ComboFix.txt
• C:\MGlogs.zip

Make sure you tell me how things are working now!

 

The last MGlogs.zip file you attach is not a valid ZIP file. Did you try to make this ZIP file yourself? If so, you should not be doing that as the program makes it own ZIP file. Delete the current C:\MGlogs.zip file and then run the C:\MGtools\GetLogs.bat program again and allow it to finish running. Attach the C:\MGlogs.zip file that it creates when it is finished.
