IE Search Hijack problem

backpacker · #1 (**permalink**) 13-11-2007, 09:19 AM

Hello,
I hope somebody can help. I have a browser hijack problem. When I search in google, the results are displayed, but when I click on them I am directed to search-daily.com.
I have read through various posts on here and attach my HJT results.
Thanks in advance. Backpacker.

Further to the above Internet Explorer search hijacking, I have also noticed authentic looking popups from the taskbar, warning of low capacity hard disk and other odd messages. Any help in this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks Backpacker.

Run hijackthis and click on "scan system only" button and put checks next to these:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {22F82F75-0CDB-4E5F-B376-3D0508C5A9A1} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\ATHPRXYb.dll

Everything closed out but hijackthis and click on "fix checked"

Reboot your PC

1. Download this file - COMBOFIX
2. Double click combofix.exe & follow the prompts.
3. When finished, it will produce a log for you. Post that log in your next reply

Note:
Do not mouseclick combofix's window whilst it's running. That may cause it to stall.

Post a new hijackthis log also please.

Also..

Open Hijackthis.

Click the "Open the Misc Tools" section Button.

Click the "Open Uninstall Manager" Button.

Click the "Save list..." Button.

Save it to your desktop. Copy and paste the contents into your reply.

Neal,
Thanks for your reply, but I took the easy way, formatted the drive and reloaded XP. Thanks again.
