Lend a stranger a helping hand.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this forum. I've seem to run into a bit of a problem with my pc and I was hoping that someone would help me with it.

Since I installed TV Ants all these windows explorer windows have been opening automatically on this site:

http://www.7939.com/

It looks like some kind of Asian Yahoo or something. I've tried to reset my homepage to yahoo, but it won't go.

My pc has been showing some other problems as well. Some 'errors' here and there. It's really ticking me off. Can anyone help me?

Greetz.

 

welcome to Major Geeks!

What exactly did you install again?
Have you done a av or spyware scan yet?
Might also want to try ccleaner
it's a really good program for cleaning up junk clogging up your pc.

 

TV Ants. It's an Asian programma so I can watch certain programmes on my pc (I use it to watch sports).

I'm now using a free trial of Ewido and it seems that I have 37 infected objects on my pc.

 

Might want to run the malware check on this thread.

Thanks for the tips everyone. I just got my pc fixed though. It seems it was infected with virusses. It cost me a hundreg bucks, but it was definitely worth it.

 

If someone had rdirected you to the malware thread earlier, might have saved you a hundred bucks, sorry for not replying to the thread earlier.

 

That's all right. I'm just happy they got my pc working again.

 

hi, i have tried everything to get rid of www.7939.com from my registry, deleting it directly in regedit, using hijackthis, adaware, ewido, spyware doctor, cleaner etc. it just keeps reappearing i've ran out of things to try it also shows up as my homepage in xoftspy and tracks eraser? heres my log from hjt.

ps i also had tvants and uninstalled it.

 

That sounds like the exact same problem I had. I would seriously advise you to get your pc thorougly checked for viruses.

 

dunno what else to try?

 

Try the READ & RUN ME FIRST sticky in Malware section. Once you follow all the steps if still infected post in malware section

 

Bring it to someone to repair it for you. Worked for me, lol.

 

Hello,

I too am new to this forum, and I've struggled all summer with the malware on my daughter's computer. Now that she's starting back to school next week, I need to fix this fast. I followed all the instructions I could in Read and Run Me first before asking for support. I was unable to download BitDefender (possibly because I use Mozilla Firefox, although Internet Explorer is also installed) and so I did not run Panda Active Scan either. Pop ups keep downloading to her computer until it bogs down. Seems to be something in the startup called iesettingsupdate that takes me to an Internet Explorer page. Adfirstsolutions keeps downloading and all kinds of other popups. I've taken everything off I can identify. Windows Defender also encountered an error: 0x80501001 and could not complete one or more actions. I also get a Run DLL error on startup now error loading W08473f.5dll.

Thanks for any advice you can offer in fixing this.

Hi MaryLou, you should post these probs in malware section as the experts will probably never read this post. Since you have posted a hjt log you will not be able to post the log again in malware. will notify admins and hopefully they will move your post.
