wtf? :alienhuh:

3 times since this morning, when I've returned to the puter from being up and about, there's been an IE window with a "legitish" search engine window sitting there. Altavista, Lycos, and "something else I can't remember cause it was first thing in the morning". When I open IE myself, it comes up to the usual about:blank as it's supposed to, and my search engine hasn't changed from Google. Spybot and Adaware come back clean, I can't see anything in Hijack This. Also, my IE Toolbars keep moving around.

I'm gonna run Norton, but anyone got an idea wtf this is?

Three things:

AdAware

Spybot Search and Destroy

HijackThis

Run HijackThis and post the log here. After that, Run AdAware and Spybot and remove everything they find. Might want to update them first, then reboot into Safe Mode then run them.

I *just* got the Norton yesterday morning btw, and haven't done a full scan till just now, so something could've slipped through on Tuesday while I was farting around.

I run both NAV and NIS and they aren't going to stop such things.I'd suspect C:\Program Files\MSN Messenger\msnmsgr.exe ,if you didn't have any windows open at the time.Also ,why are you using IE ? If you don't use IE ,maybe set the somehting other than IE as the default for the default Browser.

NAV says it found 7 at risk files whatever that means.
threat name - Remacc.Radmin
they seem to all be involved with Remote Admin. So whatever.

BUT. it also found a spywary type thing. msbbhook.dll. so w00t maybe that was it? :tardbang: It's gone now anyhoo.

I hate the smell of spyware in the evening. It smells like... IE.
What Is It?
Internet Optimizer - msbbhook.dll

What Does it Do?
Internet Optimizer is an error page hijacker. This is commonly installed by other malware packages like Moneytree. This system is known to download and install additional packages which you don't want. If you have this then you likely have a number of other things you'll need to remove.

Tip: Do a google search on the process name if you want info on spyware or whatever.

These are the steps I followed to get this thing working again. Fortunately, I have another computer networked to it that I was able to do all this research on while this one sat here useless and mocking me. Believe it or not, even after installing a ton of apps and doing what they said, I still found random garbage in my Add/Remove programs and registry that, apparently, crap AIM had installed without my permission. I spent an ungodly number of hours last night and today working on getting rid of most of them. I bet, if I run Ad-Aware, et al right now, it'll pick up still more crap. :mad:

Firefox, eh? How does one go about dumping IE and replacing it with that, and will my bookmarks follow? I don't think I can actually uninstall IE altogether, but I could be wrong about that. :confused:
