Hijacked Browser (Go Away, Google!)--Hijack This Log Included

Hi. I ran across your website last weekend while I was online searching for information about this relatively new browser hijacker that has invaded my Internet Explorer. I saw that you helped someone else with this problem and am hoping you might help me too (PLEASE!).

I recently moved from dial-up service to high-speed internet and am confounded by the increase in potential threats! I've downloaded Spyware Search & Destroy, Ad-aware, and Hijack This...so far. I'm ready to load a firewall, but (for some reason) want to get this browswer thing fixed first?

I'm pretty technically capable, but definitely not a techie--please be easy on me! I follow instructions reallly well, but work best with detail.

Thanks in advance!!!!!

Here's the log from my Hijack This scan tonight:

Wow!

I followed your instructions--all worked to the tee as you described. Thanks for the detail.

When I rebooted and re-ran Hijack This, I still found all the Google entries as before, along with bootpd.exe. So, I took a chance and re-checked those entries, ran fix, rebooted in Safe mode, didn't find the bootpd.exe file again. Rebooted in Normal mode, re-ran Hijack This and the log looks much better. No Google entries and my broswer loads to the home page of my choice now. Wow!

I'm posting a fresh log anyway to ask if you can let me know if you see anything else suspicious.

Already I can't thank you enough for your help. Truly amazing.

P.S. I've read your tips on 'Preventing It Returning' and am wondering how I can tell which Windows Updates are critical. Are they just the one's that say 'critical' (duh) or would I be better served to download all? I haven't paid attention to these in a while and have quite some catch up to do, I'm afraid.

Thanks again.

Hiya,
Wise move fixing those entries that returned. As for the Critical Updates, look at the attached image below. If you go to Windows Update, click Scan For Updates. Then just click Review and Install Updates as shown. All Critical Updates are automatically selected for you. Simply click Install Updates.

Owen,
Thanks so much for your support. The Google Browser Hijack problem is gone and I am ever grateful. Not only was your advice good for that particular problem, but I have also received such valuable information about how to keep my PC safer.

I've yet to do the critical updates, but will be getting to that more easily in the near future with the guidance you provided.

I'll certainly share my good experience with others. I'm off to the donation area to see how I can send my thanks that way also.

Ta ta for now...again, many thanks!

Thanks for the contribution toward the site
