Re: windows ME home search removal help?

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. Ensure you are showing Hidden Files and Folders as per instructions here.

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

6. Restart Hijack This and put a checkmark next to the following entries and click Fix Checked:

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system\atwos.dll/sp.html#29126
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = res://C:\WINDOWS\system\atwos.dll/sp.html#29126
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = res://C:\WINDOWS\system\atwos.dll/sp.html#29126

R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = res://C:\WINDOWS\system\atwos.dll/sp.html#29126
R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
O2 - BHO: Class - {D45147C0-D462-2383-1F5F-CA01325DFB27} - C:\WINDOWS\IPKD.DLL

O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [D3EM.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\D3EM.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [IPRG32.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\IPRG32.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [ADDJM32.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ADDJM32.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\RunServices: [ADDQY.EXE] C:\WINDOWS\ADDQY.EXE

Then delete the following files and folders:

C:\WINDOWS\IPKD.DLL
C:\WINDOWS\WINSG32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\D3EM.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\IPRG32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\ADDJM32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\ADDQY.EXE

7. Double click AboutBuster.exe that you downloaded earlier. Click OK, click Start, then click OK. This will scan your computer for the bad files and delete them. Save the report (copy and paste into notepad or wordpad and save as a .txt file) and post a copy back here when you are done with all the steps.

8. Scan with Adaware and let it remove any bad files found.

9. Download SSS from here. Run the program and on the items to clear tab select both "Temporary Files" options and the "Recycle Bin" option. Then click Clear Selected Items.

10. Reboot to normal mode

11. Finally, pay a visit to Housecall. Scan for and remove any infected files found on your system.

Post a fresh HijackThis log and the AboutBuster report back here please.
