Hijack This log - I'm infected with "Home Search Assistent"

Re: Hijack This log - I'm infected with "Home Search Assistent"
Restart Hijack This and put a checkmark next to the following entries, its not gone yet
. Looks like we might need another FindNFix log. Instructions are in this thread:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Int ernet Settings,ProxyOverride = localhost
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
Click Fix Checked
Post a FindNFix log.
-
Thanks for your help, Owen.
Here are some items that may or may not be relevant:
When I fix the two "about:blank" entries, they are removed from the Hijack This log, but if I run IE again, they come right back. (And the home page is hijacked).
While running FindNFix just now, Norton popped up and said it detected and removed virus "Trojan.StartPage".
I notice in the FindNFix log that it does a "Notepad check". When this ordeal began, I discovered that Notepad had disappeared, and I recovered it from my desktop PC and copied it to the infected laptop.
Now, on with the FindNFix log.......

To anyone who came here via http://freeatlast100.100free.com/FINDnFIX%20changes.htm the techs here are doing there best to help others and to an excellent job, which is more than I can say for some people like the idiot that posted that message on his site.
-
I'm not sure that last message was intended for me.
1. I had nothing to do with the idiot who complained about the speed of his free support.
2. I am not having a problem with a slow laptop. I am having a problem with my browser being hijacked.
Thanks,
Rick.
