Question

Another problem - Internet explorer opens on some page - I cannot change the default

Asked by: frustrated16

In trouble again...

I open internet explorer - and the default page it keeps opening on is::
http://win-eto.com/hp.htm?id=31403

I have tried all the usual spyware - and remove some bugs but none fix this. - I have pasted in the hijackthis log below

It does report the following in the hijack log
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://win-eto.com/hp.htm?id=31403

But I cannot find this in the registry and when I use hijack to fix, it never seems to do it...

Post that log at this site >> http://www.hijackthis.de
and it will automatically analyse it for u,,, Fix the entries which it labels as Nasty :)
To Fix, check the lines in Hijackthis scan and click on Fix Checked !!

HJT Log Tutoriol >> http://aumha.org/a/hjttutor.php

CAUTION: Before fixing the entries in hijackthis, make sure that they are really Nasty and can be deleted, better u first research for it on Google and then when u will confirm that they shud be deleted, Fix them. And whenever u run Hijackthis, run it from a New folder on ur desktop, so that in case of any problem, u can take advantages of its created backups of fixed items. And in case if u still face problems in dealing with it, just analyse ur log at the above site, and then scroll down where u will see a Save Analyse button, hit it and it will save ur Log Analysation, then copy the link of that page and paste it here, and we will check it for u :)

the main problem is that O20 - AppInit_DLLs: x6cyyzvifbzsi7dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll.dll line!!

goto Start>Run>regedit
and navigate to the following key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows

in the right pane u will find a AppInit_DLLs entry, and when u right click it and choose Modify, under the Value data, u will see the above file !!!!

and what u need is just to remove it from there to get rid of this message !!!!
for this restart ur system in SAFEMODE, login as Administrator, and follow these instructions carefully !!!!!

=====================================================================================
The key to removing this problem is the registry key called

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\AppInit_DLLs

You have to remove this key. The value of this key may look blank for you, but it is not. They hide the value so you can't see it. This registry key tells Windows to load the trojan DLL every time ANY application is run giving it complete control to do whatever it wants. So you need to remove it so that the trojan DLL cannot load and keep re-infecting your pc.

The way to remove the registry key is not obvious. If you just delete it from regedit, since the trojan DLL is loaded, it will re-add it right back. (Try it. Delete the AppInit_DLLs registry key and hit F5. Notice that it's added right back by the trojan). So what you have to do is the following which worked for me.

1. Rename the HLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows folder to Windows2.
2. Now delete the AppInit_DLLs key under the Windows2 folder.
3. Hit F5 and notice that AppInit_DLLs doesn't come back.
4. Rename the Windows2 folder back to Windows.

Now that AppInit_DLLs is gone, run the latest Adaware 6 *(and the other tools also)* to remove the trojan for good. Reboot your machine. Check the registry and make sure AppInit_DLLs is still gone. Your computer should be free of this for good now.

The latest version of CoolWebShredder takes care of some versions of the hidden DLL hijacker.

Maybe it's worth a try:

Download, install and run (clicking FIX).
