    Okay, but are you going to try what I Major and I suggested in the other post of yours. You know...using System Restore. I'll repeat:

    We are going to be using System Restore to restore your system to a point before the problem began. You need to just know about when this problem began a pick a restore point on your system prior to that date. Take a look at this link it will explain System Restore to you:

    http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/...lew/03may19.asp

    Note that doing this does also have the effect of removing anything else you have installed or setup after the System Restore point too. Once you have decide that you want to do this, you should be able to go right to the heading that says "Use System Restore".

    If this does not work, I will post a step by step method to try.

    Yes I have tried system restored. The 2 dates I tried using for system restored says it cant be restored to that date and time.

    Before starting the steps below I want you to make sure you have Ad-aware and SpyBot S&D installed. Double check for updates.

    I know Ad-aware just updated today.

    Okay below are the steps we are going to use. Make sure you print these or save them to a file on your PC because I am going to have you disconnect your PC from the internet at a certain point (Not Yet!). Once disconnected, do not connect again until I tell you to do so.

    1) Disable system restore and reboot! Here how to do that: http://www.majorgeeks.com/vb/showthread.php?t=31668
    2) Make sure you have enabled viewing of Hidden Files and Folders with Windows Explorer. To see how to do that, see this:

    http://www.xtra.co.nz/help/0,,4155-1916458,00.html

    3) Make sure you know how to boot in safe mode too (but don't do it yet!):
    http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406?OpenDocument&src=sec_doc_nam

    4) Disconnect from the internet (pull your ethernet cable if you have DSL or cable modem. If you have an analog mode, drop your connection!)

    5) Now click Start, Run, and enter the following command "notepad C:\WINDOWS\system32\yzoww.dll" (without the quotes) and click OK. Now in the notepad window, hit CTRL-A to select all contents of the file then hit the Delete key to delete all lines of the file. Now save the file (yes as an empty file).

    Now using Windows Explorer, locate the file C:\WINDOWS\system32\yzoww.dll and right click on it and select Properties and change the attributes to Read Only and click OK.

    6) Check to see if a Windows service name "Network Security Service" is running. To do this:
    Click Start, Run, and enter this in the Open box: services.msc Then click OK. Now in the Services window that pops up look for Network Security Service. If you find that service, you must stop it by right clicking on it then select stop. Now disable it by right clicking on it and selecting Properties. Then in the General tab see the area that says "Startup type: " click on the pull down arrow and change it to Disabled. Also on the Properties page, I need to know the info in the "Path to executable" box.

    If you do not find this service running, just continue with the next steps.

    7) Now shut down all applications (especially IE and Windows explorer) an run HijaakThis. Have it fix only what I give you below:

    O2 - BHO: (no name) - {58766EEB-28FF-2649-FB38-0338B821DD25} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntin.dll
    O3 - Toolbar: (no name) - {BA52B914-B692-46c4-B683-905236F6F655} - (no file)
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [apius.exe] C:\WINDOWS\apius.exe

    Now reboot in safe mode (via method given in step 3) and then delete the following if found:

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntin.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\apius.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\syssm32.exe

    And also if you found Network Security Service runnning in step 6, delete the file indicated in the Path to executable!
    Now also look for all of the above files in c:\windows\Prefetch If found, delete them too.

    9) Now while still in safe mode run only Hijaak This and have it fix:
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\yzoww.dll/sp.html#96676
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = res://yzoww.dll/index.html#96676
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = res://yzoww.dll/index.html#96676
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\yzoww.dll/sp.html#96676
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = res://yzoww.dll/index.html#96676
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\yzoww.dll/sp.html#96676


    10) Right click on your Internet Explorer icon and select Properties. Set your home page address to something useful like www.majorgeeks.com. Click Apply. Click Delete Cookies, Clcik Delete Files select Delete all Offline content too, Click OK. When it finishes Click OK.

    11) Now (still in safe mode) run Ad-aware & SpyBot S&D and clean what they find.

    12) Now click Start, Run, and in the Open box enter "regedit" (without the quotes). Now navigate thru the registry to:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall.
    Click the [+] next to uninstall. Scroll down until you see the NAMES of programs, not the numbers in {,}. See if you can find any of the following:

    HSA = Home Search Agent or Home_Search_Assistent (yes, the spelling of assistant is wrong)
    SA = Search Assistant
    SW = Shopping Wizzard

    To double check, on the left pane, it will say what they are. Highlight one at a time, and hit your delete key. Once you delete all three, you may exit.

    13) Now reboot normal mode.
    14) Before running anything else run HijaakThis and save a log.
    15) Connect here to MG's and post the new log. Then continue running and let's see how everything is working.
