    Help,
    My wife (not me) must have clicked on something and I keep getting my home page set to something else.I can only go to the internet by hitting start, then run, then typing in the web address.
    I have run Spy Sweeper, Spybot, Adaware, all to no avail. They did clean out some stuff, but this one lingers.
    I am hoping that someone can helpme out.Also, I am probably a 4 on a scale of 1-10 when it comes to computers.

    You should read the tutorial in this Sticky thread NO HIJACK THIS LOG FILES BEFORE READING THIS: HJT Tutorial & LOG File Posting

    Now post a HijackThis log file as an attachment to your message. All running programs should be closed, including your web browser, e-mail. Close before running Hijack This!

    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 downloaded ZIP file. Place it in its own folder, for example C:\Program Files\HJT

    Make sure you have HJT version 1.98.2 and follow the guidelines on where to install it and how to post a log as an attachment.

    Did you scroll down in your message windows to look for it? After click go advanced, besides getting more editing options for your messages, the Manage Attachments selection shows up under Additional Options but you need to scroll down to see it.

    you ran HJT from

    C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\MY DOCUMENT 24\HIJACK THIS\HIJACKTHIS.EXE

    this is an invalid location to run it from.
    Please place HJT in it's OWN folder like C:\program files\hijackthis and then post a new log.
    thanks

    In addition to what Kodo said:

    - No browsers should be running. You had: C:\PROGRAM FILES\INTERNET EXPLORER\IEXPLORE.EXE

    - Also before running the HJT scan, goto Add/Remove programs and uninstall WEATHERBUG

    You still did not fix what Kodo asked. You have HijackThis running from:

    C:\WINDOWS\DESKTOP\MY DOCUMENT 24\HIJACK THIS\HIJACKTHIS.EXE

    You need to create a directory like C:\Program Files\HJT or C:\Program Files\HijackThis and put the HIJACKTHIS.EXE file in that directory and run your scans using it.

    First be sure to get HJT running from the proper location before performing the below steps.
    This may not completely work due to the nature of one of the hijacks you have. We may need to perform some additional steps to get rid of the hijacker completely.

    Make sure you have viewing of hidden files enabled and have downloaded About:Buster (per the tutorial).

    Please bring up Task Manager by hitting CTRL-ALT-DEL and click the Processes tab. Find the below processes and End them:
    WINAL32
    SYSTIME


    Run HijackThis and select the following lines but DO NOT CLICK FIX until you exit all browser sessions including the one you are reading in right now:

    Run About:Buster and save the log (like ablog1
    .txt).


    Boot into safe mode and use Windows Explorer to delete:
    C:\WINDOWS\system\dkmrh.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\IPXS32.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\QUESTMOD.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\WINAL32.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\SYSTIME.EXE

    Run About:Buster and save the log to another file (like ablog2.txt).


    Now reboot in normal mode and post a new HJT log and the two About:Buster logs. And tell us how things are working.

    To save the log, highlight the text with your mouse and copy using CTRL-C. Then paste it into a file using CTRL-V.

    In Win98, it CTRL-ALT-DEL brings up taskmon.exe (similar to Task Manager - taskmgr.exe in other OS). What happened when you hit CTRL-ALT-DEL? Didn't a window popup with the title "Close Program" in it?
