IE Explorer is being HiJacked, had Antivirus xp 2008 virus

I ran a HiJackThis and created the log
I thought that I had removed all of the virus, but I'm not doing something right.

 

Hello jtsnav,

We require more than just those logs here.


Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.

• READ & RUN ME FIRST. Malware Removal Guide

• If something does not run, write down the info to explain to us later but keep on going.

• Do not assume that because one step does not work that they all will not.

Notes:

1. If you run into problems trying to run theREAD & RUN ME or any of the scans in normal boot mode. You can running steps in safe boot mode but make sure you tell us what you did later when you post logs. See the below if you do not know how to boot in safe mode:
   
   • Starting your computer in Safe mode
2. If you have problems downloading on the problem PC, download the tools on another PC and burn to a CD. Then copy them to the problem PC. You will have to skip getting updates if (and only if) your internet connection does not work. Yes you could use a flash drive too but flash drives are writeable and infections can spread to them.

 

Thank you, new to your site. I am extemely impressed !!!! :-D
I had more than Antivirus xp 2008 it turns out. My computer is back to acting normal.

Can you answer me this, my symptoms have been rectified, but I got to Windows XP Cleaning Procedures and finished Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and my hijacked IE Explorer & even Mozilla Firefox was hijacked. Anyway they are now going to the correct sites. www.symantec.com was one site I tried over and over that is now working.

The Question. Do I need to continue cleaning or can I feel pretty safe if I have gone thru *all* the steps up to this point? There were 2 more steps, Combofix.exe and MGtool.exe

I am very impressed with the cleaning tools too. Impressed that I can use them and see them work before I hand out some money.

Again, very thankful for your site and the information.

 

Hello jtsnav,

If you no longer notice any malware symptoms, and you feel fine with leaving things the way they are that is fine. If you want to continue the cleaning process that is fine too, usually it's better safe than sorry.
