Hello,

I've been having major computer problems due to the fact that my browser has been hijacked by looking-for.cc. It has control of my home page and serves pop ups continuously. This is a nasty one and my computer is running really slow. I've tried spy doctor and norton and although spy doctor ends up removing some things it just keeps coming back. I've also downloaded http://free.grisoft.com/freeweb.php/doc/2 and when I try to install I get an error and missing file (shell.dll). I need help!

I've downloaded Hijack This and have the following logs:

This seems like a long list compared to what I've been reading on this board....I hope my situation can be helped. Thanks so much. I look forward to any response...

Cheers,

First of all uninstall Spy Doctor, its a baddy itself. Then follow the instructions in the Hijack This logs post at the top of this forum and run the appropriate good programs

Then reboot, download the latest version of Hijack This from http://hjt.isecureit.co.uk and post a fresh log.

Owen - thanks so much for the help. I've installed and run SpyBot and Ad-Aware and have removed some things. I've rebooted as you suggested and installed the latest version of Highjack This and have the following log:

Thanks again - I look forward to your next post.

1. Download AboutBuster http://www.downloads.subratam.org/AboutBuster.zip

Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet.

2. Download Ad-aware from here. Open the Ad-aware program and near the bottom click the Check For Updates link. This will open the update manager. Follow the prompts to update your Ad-aware Reference File. Close Ad-aware for now, we will use it later.

3. You may want to print out these instructions for further reference when completing the following steps.

4. Make sure your PC is configured to show hidden files

Open Windows Explorer & Go to Tools > Folder Options. Click on the View tab and make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files" and untick "hide extensions for known file types" . Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

5. Next, go to Start->Run and type "Services.msc" (without quotes) then hit Ok

Scroll down and find the service called "Network Security Service". When you find it, double-click on it. In the next window that opens, click the Stop button, then click on properties and under the General Tab, change the Startup Type to Disabled. Now hit Apply and then Ok and close any open windows.

6. Then reboot your PC into Safe Mode. If you don't know how to do this, see here for further instructions.

That log is looking better, how are things running?

it's been a couple of days and my computer is running so much better. I haven't seen any signs of the virus anywhere, my computer hasn't been hijacked and I haven't been getting any unwanted pop up ads. I think it's been fixed. Thank you so much for your guidance.....it helped so much!

Cheers,
Brandon

This thread will be marked as resolved soon. Have a read of this info to prevent it returning:

Preventing it returning

After your problem has been resolved on the forum, it is an absoulute MUST to do the following steps to prevent the problem returning. Click on the link to get access to the software or webpage that I'm referring to.

1. Visit Windows Update
Pay a visit to Windows Update and scan for and download ALL Critical Updates and Service Packs. New updates are usually released monthly so check back to Windows Update every month.

2. Download Antivirus Software-
If you haven't already got Antivirus software, you should download and install AVG Antivirus. It is freeware and is updated nearly every 2 days (sometimes more frequently if there are a lot of new viruses) and in my opinion, is better than some Antivirus software such as Norton. Antivirus software will prevent viruses infecting your system and it is important that you update it every two days or every week at the most.

3. Download a Firewall-
If you haven't already got a firewall, it is Very important that you download one. Firewalls will prevent unauthorised access to your computer and stop data leaking out of your computer. You may think that it won't happen to you, but Hackers don't care who you are, what you do, where you live or what you had for tea last Sunday on your holiday in the Lake District, they want your data. Firewalls will keep these sneaks out and one of the best is Sygate Personal Firewall, which happens to be freeware.

4. Spyware Scanners-
It is important that as well as having real time spyware protection, you have a spyware scanning application. If you have not already been told to download one earlier in this thread, it is a good idea to download Spybot Search And Destroy and Ad-aware. They are both spyware scanners and will search for a remove spyware. It is recommended that you have both, because one will pick up entries that the other misses. It is even a good idea to download these if you have other programs such as ASE, Spysweeper, Pest Patrol, etc, because one spyware scanner will not pick up everything. Please remember to update your spyware scanners weekly/fortnightly.

5. Prevent Spyware slipping through Internet Explorer-
Quite a lot of spyware slips through Internet Explorer if your settings are not tight enough. Spyware Blaster will help you prevent spyware slipping through and installing tracking cookies. Simply run it via Start> Programs> Spyware Blaster and click Enable All Protection and it will protect you. It doesn't even have to be open! Remember to update weekly/fortnightly.

6. Constant Spyware Protection-
It is important to have constant spyware protection. Spyware Guard works like an antivirus program but detects Spyware instead. It will constantly protect your system. Check for updates monthly.

All Of these steps are very important and it is HIGHLY recommended that you download all of the programs mentioned for your own safety. Remember to Update everything (including Windows using Windows Update)! It is also a good idea to perform weekly/fortnightly scans with Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and your antivirus software.

And last of all, please remember, that common sense is your greatest tool. Without it, spyware and other related Malware would rule!
