Hi Jim
If I remember correctly you have both Spybot and Ad-Aware installed
Could you download and save to desktop
The standalone version of
CWShredder.exeDon't run it yet
Don't remember if I asked you to download this before
But could you also
Download and Install this small program
to help clean your temp folders,cookies,etc...
Windows CleanupInstall it for now but don't run a scan yet
Hold onto this
After that is done can you print this out or save it to a Notepad file on your desktop
Close down all windows, including this one
Do another scan with Hijackthis and put a check next to these entries:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\sp.dll/sp.html
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\sp.dll/sp.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,HomeOldSP = about:blank
O18 - Filter: text/html - {75450EB4-E5EB-43B7-9E5D-4E01AB078D46} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\EMBNOL.DLL
O18 - Filter: text/plain - {75450EB4-E5EB-43B7-9E5D-4E01AB078D46} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\EMBNOL.DLLAfter you have ticked the above entries, close
All other open windows, including this one
Leave Hijackthis open and click FIX CHECKED
YES and exit Hijackthis
Open Windows CleanUp! >> Start>>Programs>>CleanUp
Click the CleanUp button
Let it finish scanning for files, when it's done it will prompt you that you have to Restart your computer
DON'T restart yet
Instead
Open just CWShredder and click ONLY the FIX button
Let it fix all problems
When it's done RESTART your computer
When your back in Windows
Don't open a browser yet, instead access Internet Options via ControlPanel
Under the Programs tab "Reset Web Settings"
Under the General tab---Reset home page
Find and delete this file if it exists
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\
EMBNOL.DLL <--this file
I would open Ad-Aware and Check for updates and run a Full system Scan
Remove all Critical objects if any found and Restart your computer
Same with Spybot>>when your back in windows
Search for updates with Spybot and check and download all updates
Restart Spybot if any downloads
Check for problems>>Fix everything in RED
Restart your computer again to finish the cleaning
Post back a fresh hijackthis log afterwards
