I'm asking again nicely-PLEASE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I don't know if this is proper, but no one replied, so I'm submitting again. Windows 98-seems like my browser was hijacked. Home page was changed to "on-search.com". But I don't have internet access anymore. DSL is working fine on other computer. I ran ad-aware, cwshredder, anti-virus software- items were found, but still no access. Bazooka couldn't access internet to complete the job. I've spent hours in the registry deleting lines. I uninstalled IE6 and tools, IE5, reinstalled win98 twice, still no access. I loaded AOL and got some entertainment pages, but when I tried to get on the web, I couldn't. The message mentioned Internet Explorer as a reason for no access. I tried to install netscape, but it told me I have no access. Verizon's software seems ok-they told me nothing's wrong. As I mentioned earlier, their dsl modem works on my other system. Could there be a hardware problem? I've changed/reset my homepage so many times and it never takes. HijackThis hasn't made any diference so far. Any suggestions welcome.

I think I see the culprit.
I'm sorry no one got to your post earlier. Please do not start another thread, as this forum is already bustling to the max, and you will get better help. Just post a message like "Bump" or "Putting this back to the top" in your thread. Please read the stickies at the top. And now for the fixing... I know you've run adaware, but I don't know if you used these instructions Quote:
Run it, and press Finish. That should restore your internet access, I hope. Then Download HJT 1.8.x from my signature, as yours is out of date, and post a new log.

thanks for help, but still hijacked
Sorry for second thread- I wasn't sure what to do. The ad-aware scan that you instructed ran fine, but showed no bugs. I ran LSPFix and internet access was restored (thank you). Now, I have an On-Search.Com toolbar that I can't get rid of. I tried to get on to techsupportforum.com but IE wants to close as the page is loading. Here is the HijackThis scan. Thanks again for your time and help.

My universe is safe once again
Thank you for all your time and help over the past few days. My system is up and running again. I intend to stop using IE and switch to another browser to reduce the chances of being hijacked in the future. Do you have any suggestions?
Again, thanks to all you folks who run this site. |

GK17 provided an excellent link to a spyware prevention site.
As for secure browsers, if you are really sick of IE, I would recommend Firefox or Mozilla, both distributed by Mozilla. The main difference is that Firefox is just a browser, but Mozilla has an HTML editor, an IRC client, a mail client, and a browser. www.mozilla.org. Though it has been my experience that usually the browser does not deter spyware from getting on your system as much as just watching what you download and install, and view online.

Make sure to post a new HijackThis log file. We need to verify that it's actually all cleaned up after that fix.
