Hijaked?

Hey guys I was wondering if someone could look at my Hijackthis log. It seems as though Google keeps trying to replace MSN as my home page. I couldnt find anything to do with my browser settings in the hijackthis log except for a bunch of Netzero mini searches.I of course followed the tutorial, but when I look in Spybot at my browser settings it will have MSN as my homepage along with Google. There is also a WINDOWS\system32\blank.htm in there(not sure if thats normal). A bunch of Netzero minisearches, a Microsoft homepage(not related to MSN),and a ie.search.msn.com. Most of these are showing up more than once on the browser page in the tool section of Spybot. Anyways, just let me know when your ready.Thanks!

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Unzip the hijackthis.exe file to a folder you create named C:\Program Files\HJT

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif 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 ZIP file as your backups will not be safely stored.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifBefore running HijackThis: You must close each of the following:your web browser, e-mail client, instant messenger, and programs like notepad, wordpad, MS Word etc. And any other unnecessary running programs.

Here is my log.

 

Please look in Add or Remove Programs for the following and Uninstall them if found:

NZSearch

Now scan with HijackThis and Check the Boxes for the following:

Make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

Navigate to and DELETE this folder if it remains:

NEXT:
Run CCleaner

Then, as an added precaution, Go to Start > Run and type: cleanmgr and then click OK. Make sure the boxes for these are checked:

Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin

And Click OK.

FINAL STEP

Reset Web Settings & Default Security Settings:

Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Click Delete Files and select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

If you do not have an Internet Explorer icon on your Desktop, click Start, Control Panel (for some systems it may be Start, Settings, Control Panel), Internet Options, Programs tab and then click "Reset Web Settings". Now go back to the General tab and set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply.

After doing ALL of the above, reboot and post a fresh HJT log.
