Want my home page back- hijack.log

Please follow all the steps in this Sticky thread < READ ME FIRST: Basic Spyware, Trojan And Virus Removal > If you already have any of the programs linked in the tutorial please double check your version to make sure you have the latest one and that you have any/all updates for the programs.

NOTE: In order to resolve the issues you are having it is very important that you at least try to perform all the steps as outlined. If you have any difficulty please post back letting us know what steps you have completed, what you found while doing the scans if anything and details about any problems you have encountered in completing the steps. The more details you can provide the better.

HijackThis logs are the last step and you should not be posting one unless we ask for it. Complete the steps above first and make sure you have the proper versions. Looks to me like you have one of the versions of the About:Blank hijack. Thus make sure you try About:Buster according to its directions but this strain of the hijack may not be fixable by About:Buster.

 

Make sure you get that system protected from reoccurrence of issues like this. Here are some simple steps you can take to reduce the chance of infection in the future. I strongly encourage you to do them all.

1. Visit Windows Update:
Make sure that you have all the Critical Updates recommended for your operating system and IE. The first defense against infection is a properly
patched OS.
a. Windows Update: http://v4.windowsupdate.microsoft.com/en/default.asp
Do this at least once a month.
b. Never add any site to your Trusted Sites Zone.

2) Anti Virus: make sure you have one and keep it updated. Here are some good free ones:
http://majorgeeks.com/download1968.html Avast
http://majorgeeks.com/download886.html AVG
The top two hands down. Better than Norton or McAfee!
Only run ONE AV!

3) Firewall: if you don't have one get one of these below. The last two are free versions:
Don't care if your on dial up or High Speed....you must have a firewall

4) Get a Temp File/Cookies/index.dat cleaner
