IE Hijack - precautionary post to avoid re-infection

Hi

I joined this forum to get assistance to remove a stealthy address-bar redirection hack. I tried to read all the posting rules and made an introductory post in the introduction forum first. I then read the 5 steps before posting post and carried them all out religously. The problem seems to have gone. I wish to make this post anyway in-case you find something that allows the infection to return.

The problem.
1. On 10/4/06 (dd/mm/yy) I went to a porn site - www.bestpornhost.com/vintage - and a lot of disc activity occured. Following this visit, subsequent searches using the IE browser address bar were redirected. I found that I could circumvent the redirection by clicking three times but this of course is inconvenient.

I have CA antivirus installed, Ad-Aware 6.0 and Spybot S&D. I used all these and some viruses were found but the infection remained.

2. 0n 15/4/06 I joined this site. During 15/4 and 16/4 I followed all the pre submitting steps, including installing ad-aware SE. The docvumented results are:

3. Ad-Aware SE results:
MRU list (43 objects
CnsMin (7 objects)
Tracking cookie (83 objects)
133 objects removed
4. Spybot S&D results
Pipas.A - removed
5. Housecall results
adware.loctr.a
2xjava.trojan.femad.a
1xtrojan.small.ej
1xjava.trojan.femad.b
all removed
6. Bitdefender results
js.trojan.winbomb.f
7. CA etrust - nothing

ALL THE ABOVE WERE RUN IN SAFE MODE OR SAFE MODE WITH NETWORKING

Please note that I have probably done more damage since 10/4/06 (dd/mm/yy) as I have tried all kinds of things. I have removed some programs from ad-remove-programs during this event and have not documented everything I have done. Examples I can remember are a filelister. One virus sanner run during the week also removed (but I was not in safe mode at the time) easytool.adtrojan; findspy.a; marketengines and pipas.a.
