I seem to be having trouble downloading some things from the internet sort of... I cannot connect to Google or Yahoo, whenever I try, the address bar adds things to the begining of the url, so it comes out like http://ehttp.cc/?www.google.com (http://\"http://ehttp.cc/?www.google.com\"). And my homepage keeps being changed to http://%68%6F%6D%65%70%61%67%65%2E%63%6F%6D%00@%77%77%77%2E%65%2D%66%69%6E%64%65%72%2E%63%63/%68%70/, I've tried going to doing a Windows Update, and it give me an error message.
There is a game I play called horizons, it's a MMORPG, when I tried updating it this morning is when the trouble started. It gave me an error saying that I was not the Admin of this computer or that i don't trust it's digitaly signed content, which I do. I check and made sure I accepted, and IE said I did. So I went to check my admin settings, and they seemed find... I tried changing my name on the account, but it wouldn't let me. It just sat there... I tried making a new User Account and it still just sits there. I also tried downloading and installing The Zone Software (http://www.thezone.com) and it just sat there ignoring it, not doing anything.
This happend last week as well, and I seemed to have fixed it by re-installing windows, but now it's happening all over again.

Hopefully this will resolve your hi-jacked browser problem.

Luckily, after much research...I found a statement regarding dp.dll and dpe.dll. Searched my computer for those files and found dpe.dll under the root of C/:. Deleted that file and lo and behold, my start page does not change nor do I see http://%68 in my registry.
Hope this helps someone going through what I just went.

Been getting very frustrated that I did everything the ant)virussites told me but always the second startup of the IE gave me this http://%68 startuppage. Delted the dpe.dll and that was it!! Thakns again.
However, I have two more Q's for all of you :
1. In the IE, there is a search button. When you click it, a search frame opens to the left of the screen. While trying to resovle the previous problem, I must have changed to much because it keeps saying me that it can't find the page. Can someone please give me the correct url('s)? I will find it myself in the registry, as long as I jknow what to enter there.
2. The host file in my windows directory has been modified with the value "127.0.0.1 localhost". Can I just delete this again, or...? (I'm not in a network, this is a standalone XP-PC.)

After closely looking over again the reg entries from Hijack This, I spotted an odd reference to dpe.dll . Then a Google search on that led me here.
Upon deleting that entry and doing the clean up again, the problem disappeared.
So if you're getting homepage.com (the filthy bastards!) over and over as your home page, look for the dpe.dll and nuke 'em !!!

Just had a similar experience. I was fortunate to have a free copy of WinPatrol which notified me that DPE.DLL was trying to add itself to my computer. I was able to stop it from progressing any further. After reading this thread and checking my registry I found the prefixs had been altered and have changed them back.
Thanks

I dont know what to do? It just quits! And also when I'm on my computer suddenly it just restarts! And It's random! i thought it was over heating but it's not!
What do i do?????

refer to this forum where they also discussed the problem you're facing:
http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?s...showtopic=30578 (http://\"http://www.lavasoftsupport.com/index.php?showtopic=30578\")
OR you might wanna enter appcompat.txt in Google let the engine do the work!
Good luck and I hope you find what you're looking for.
PS: in the future, try to be more selective about where you add youre Q's. This wasn't exaclty the correct topic, asn't it?
CU!
