I have read the details from Hunter McCormack Feb 2005. I have this similar toolbar which only disappears when you put a couple of random characters in and press enter. I have run all the stuff in READ ME FIRST BEFORE ASKING FOR SUPPORT but not run nything in safe mode. The toolbar is so annoying. I have got rid of pop ups successfully but seem to be stuck with this toolbar. I have downloaded Hijack in case you need to see the logs. Can you help please?

 

This particular toolbar usually comes from Messenger Plus! 3. You can remove this by going into Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs and uninstalling Messeger Plus 3!.

After you uninstall the above (if it remains) procede with the below:

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Download HijackThis 1.99.1

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.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gifRun HijackThis and save your log file.

http://www.majorgeeks.com/images/grenade.gif Post your log as an ATTACHMENT to your next post. (Do NOT copy/paste the log into your post as it will be removed).

Trying again to attach HJT log file. ( closed everything before I ran HJT) Looks okay this time. thanks again

 

First, just to clean some of those ActiveX controls scan with HJT and have it fix the below entries:

After you remove the above controls, procede with the below online scans:

Bitdefender online scan
RavAntivirus online scan <-- select Auto Clean then click Scan My PC
TrojanScan online scan
Panda Online Scan

After you complete the above, reboot and post a fresh HJT log.

 

Hi again

Have followed all your instructions. However Bit Defender didn't work: it came up with 'this website is not authorised to host this Active X Control'. all the other checks worked fine. i have attached my HJT log after reboot. The toolbar is still with me!

Thanks

Janiea

 

In order to remove this TB you MUST close all browsers while running and fixing items with HJT.

C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe

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

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

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings,ProxyOverride = 127.0.0.1

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {0B682DD4-4AAD-84A6-6FD0-6D579DDED088} - (no file)

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Meow Thunk Error Bias] C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TITLEOWNSMEOWTHUNK\Ford Sect.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [KernelFaultCheck] %systemroot%\system32\dumprep 0 -k

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [signmapi] C:\DOCUME~1\JANETR~1\APPLIC~1\CHINSO~1\RdrThatMeet.exe

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present

(These were added from Spybot S&D most likely and need to be removed)

O9 - Extra button: (no name) - {85d1f590-48f4-11d9-9669-0800200c9a66} - %windir%\bdoscandel.exe (file missing)

Again, make sure All Browser Windows are Closed when you Click FIX.

NOW:
Please boot into Safe Mode with the Viewing of Hidden Files & Folders Enabled and navigate to and DELETE the following if they should remain:


C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\TITLEOWNSMEOWTHUNK ←–– Delete this whole folder if it exist!

C:\Documents and Settings\JANETR~1\Application Data\CHINSO~1 ←–– Delete this whole folder if it exist!

NEXT:
Run CCleaner and Spybot S&D and have Spybot fix what it finds.
Note: Dont forget to update Spybot S&D by selecting "Search For Updates"

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 Files
Temporary Internet Files
Recycle Bin

And Click OK.


Reboot to Normal Windows , Scan with HijackThis and attach the new log.

 

Have followed everything exactky as you asked. Found both folders TITLEOWNSMEOWTHUNK and CHINSO and have deleted. HJT log attached. Toolbar seems to have gone hopefully.

Huge thanks
