    hijacked?

    hi hope you can help
    been having rundll probs for a while gettiing message "error loading sre.dll the system cannot find the file specified" but as pc worked ok didn't worry (mistake?) recently when I go online error messege received "error loading c:\\windows\temp\se.dll" and a virus warning is flagged, this is healed by AVG7, the homepage is now set to 'about:blank' and no matter how often this is reset it still keeps defaulting to this. I have updated both AVG7 and SpybotS&D and scanned PC and fixed/healed any problems found but this has not fixed the problems. I have reached the limit of my scant knowledge and have been searching around, downloaded CWShredder and ran this, says I don't have CWS files on pc but free scan with spyferret says I do! Very confused now. you recommend sending you a hijacthis log so here goes

    Hi and welcome to DAL,

    Rest assured you do have coolwebsearch infection.


    Please read the complete post first, you should copy and paste this post to a new text Document or print it.

    Download and install http://www.ccleaner.com/ccdownload.php
    Download and unzip to your Desktop---don't run the tool yet

    http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/file...re/KillBox.zip
    We will use Killbox later.

    Download and install Adaware, uncheck "show help file" and "perform full system scan" at the end of the installing routine, perform the update and close Adaware. You will need it later

    Download: "StartDreck", from here:
    http://www.niksoft.at/download/startdreck.htm

    Unzip to its own folder and start the program,

    Press 'Config'
    Press 'Unmark All'

    Check the following boxes only:
    Registry -> Run Keys
    Files> Autostart Folders
    System/drivers> Running processes
    Press 'Ok'

    Press 'Save' and select the location to save the log file
    (default is the same folder as the application)
    Exit StartDreck
    And Post the log in this thread and a new HJT this log please.

    Hi,

    Well dang Startdreck did not show me what I was looking for which was a hidden dll file.

    So let;s procede.


    I notice that you have Spybot's TeaTimer running. While this is normally a wonderful tool to protect against hijackers, it can also interfere with HijackThis fixes. So please disable TeaTimer by doing the following:
    1) Run Spybot-S&D
    2) Go to the Mode menu, and make sure "Advanced Mode" is selected
    3) On the left hand side, choose Tools -> Resident
    4) Uncheck "Resident TeaTimer" and OK any prompts
    5) Restart your computer.
    You can reenable TeaTimer once your system is clean.


    If you don't have a way to unzip a folder then go here and download free trial version of winzip:

    winzip

    Next,
    Download the Intermute stand-alone version of CWShredder from here: cwshredder.net/bin/CWShredder.exe
    Install it and check for updates then exit, we will use it later.

    Next,
    Please download CWShredder from here( this is the older version), then exit no run yet http://www.thatcomputerguy.us/downloads-cat4.html


    Download About:Buster from here:

    http://majorgeeks.com/download4289.html

    Unzip it to its own DESKTOP folder, right click open area on the desktop, click new, the new folder, name the folder Aboutbuster . It is VITAL that it be unzipped/extract all

    Please open/run the program and check for updates. After you update it exit.
    Do not run the actual scan/fix until instructed below.

    disconnect from the internet---pull the plug etc. very important


    Now reboot into safe mode by tapping your F8 key upon restart and safe mode screen appears, select safe mode and press enter.


    Scan with Hijackthis again and put a check next to these items and making sure all browser windows are closed before clicking fix.

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\se.dll/spage.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sre] rundll32.exe sre.dll,Register
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Startup] WinlogonStartup

    O9 - Extra button: Related - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm
    O9 - Extra 'Tools' menuitem: Show &Related Links - {c95fe080-8f5d-11d2-a20b-00aa003c157a} - C:\WINDOWS\web\related.htm




    Again make sure all browser windows are closed and click FIX


    Still in safe mode


    Now, run About:Buster as many times as it takes to not find anything



    Next, run both CWShredder
    -Click on the: ‘Fix’ Button on the first one and let it run, then click on fix for the second one and let it finish.
    -Follow the prompts, and press OK

    Now run CCleaner useing the windows tab only


    Make sure you are set to normal startup. Click Start -> Run -> Type Msconfig -> Press Enter -> make sure Startup is set to Normal Start


    Post a new HJT log for further review
