Side effect of desktop hijacking

world2er · 04-11-2005, 04:19 PM

First of all, hello to all here at techsupportforums.com. This is my first post here in the forums.

I have read several posts concerning the effects of the desktop hijacking ("Danger: Spyware" thing). Until recently, I wasn't able to change my desktop, or right click. After reading the forum posts, I am now able to right click on the desktop, and believe that I have eliminated all traces of the worm that was causing it. However, I still can't change any but the color on my desktop. I would really appreciate it if someone could review the HJT readout below, and give me some tips on how to correct this problem.

I believe I have solved my own problem :-)

While looking thru several other forums, I came across this link:

http://www.smart-security.info/removal.html

Seems this may be the company who may be responsible for this whole problem (or one of their affiliates). Looks like they are trying to cover their bums. Visit that page, and make sure to print it out before continuing.

They have a program that kills this problem called "freeclean" (heh). It is available at this link (as well as at the top of the page for the link above):

http://www.smart-security.info/freeclean.v2.exe

Just make sure you close down all IE windows, and any other progs that you may have running. Run freeclean. IMMEDIATELY reboot, then follow the brief instructions that you printed out earlier.

Worked like a charm for me. Hope it helps everyone else who may have this problem.

After reading the forum posts, I am now able to right click on the desktop, and believe that I have eliminated all traces of the worm that was causing it. However, I still can't change any but the color on my desktop. I would really appreciate it if someone could review the HJT readout below, and give me some tips on how to correct this problem.

world2er Registered User Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 3 OS: XP Pro	I believe I have solved my own problem :-) While looking thru several other forums, I came across this link: http://www.smart-security.info/removal.html Seems this may be the company who may be responsible for this whole problem (or one of their affiliates). Looks like they are trying to cover their bums. Visit that page, and make sure to print it out before continuing. They have a program that kills this problem called "freeclean" (heh). It is available at this link (as well as at the top of the page for the link above): http://www.smart-security.info/freeclean.v2.exe Just make sure you close down all IE windows, and any other progs that you may have running. Run freeclean. IMMEDIATELY reboot, then follow the brief instructions that you printed out earlier. Worked like a charm for me. Hope it helps everyone else who may have this problem.
