Homepage hijacked to res://shdocpe.dll/blank.htm

jmeadows74 · Mar 12, 2005

Hello all,
I am working to help my brother fix his computer. His two main problems are that the computer won't shut down He has XP Windows - after you go through all the steps to shut the computer down - it restarts itself again and again. We are hitting the SHUTDOWN not the RESTART.

The other noticable problem is that his homepage has been hijacked to res://shdocpe.dll/blank. Here is his log file.

Thank you,
Mj
