Re: wscript.exe changed my hompage to redtube

Hi. . .

Is this dealing with IE7?

Have you reset IE7?
START | inetcpl.cpl | advanced | resetore defaults

What is wscript running?

Regards. . .

Re: wscript.exe changed my hompage to redtube

Hi, this is windows scripting host and has no place in changing your homepage unfortunately you have been hijacked part of a trojan I know the security forum is busy and I know how to fix these problems (being doing it for years) however forum rules dictate that you pop over there (the trick here is to prevent this from ever happening) Follow the instructions your Hijack this log will show :-
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.redtube.com/..... and most likely:-
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Window Title = Long Live Sowar!!!

Do not attempt your own fix have an expert walk you through it ..patience may be required.

As jenae suggested - go to HJT Log Help Forum -

Be sure to follow THESE STEPS carefully before posting your logs in the HJT Log Help Forum.

Please be patient as the Security Analysts are very busy and one will get to you as soon as possible.
