WinXP IE maybe hijacked

Hi, I don't know but I think my WinXP IE is been hijacked. I haven't used my XP box for about five months, I started using it three weeks ago and everytime I launch IE the homepage is http://www.enjoysearch.info/, I tried to change that and it just keeps coming back, I use Adaware 6.0 and it can't find anything. The other wierd thing is that when I type the DN 'www.google.com' I get totally something different i.e. phpmyadmin, phppgadmin etc.. Could someone tell me if you can what is happening with my IE, I feel like it is been hijacked and don't know how to prevent it from been hijacked.

Thanks in advance!!

Looks like you probably have some Malware on your system.  I would first do a full virus scan if you haven't already:

http://housecall.trendmicro.com/

See if anything is detected and clean anything that is found.

Then, download/install/run the following:

Spybot: http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/10/17/10-17-21.shtml
Adaware: http://www.softpedia.com/public/cat/10/17/10-17-58.shtml

Make sure that you update both of those programs after installing them so that you have the latest definition files.  These three things should clean everything up for the most part.  I would post an updated HijackThis log after you're done so we can see if there is anything left over that the programs couldn't get rid of.

Good luck!

Hi SheharyaarSaahil, I fixed the above entries and rebooted the system but after rebooting guess what happen, well take look at the Log file.
Entries R1 and R0 are back again with the same webpage as my IE's homepage

The good news is that accessing "www.google.com" is okay now and it is able to retrieve the contents of that page correctly.

Ok i have found now, that what is creating problems for u, it is the above file, u have to remove it, read these instructions, i ahev copied form another forum site,

"I just got rid of this nasty from my PC. It is not related to java, although it was meant to resemble the java program jusched.exe. In fact, that's what tipped me off that this was the culprit - The java programs don't run from c:\windows - They all run from C:\Program Files\Java\<version>\bin\ directory.

Pest Patrol, AdAware 6.0 and Spybot S&D all missed this one. It is a browser hijacker that kept setting my home page to www.enjoysearch.info, as well as changing my default search engines.

Here's how I killed it: Run Task Manager and kill jushed32.exe with the End Process button. Then run regedit and navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Curr
entVersion\Run. Delete the key that references jushed32.exe (mine was located in c:\windows). Then delete the file c:\windows\jushed32.exe"
