View Full Version : Internet Explorer: home page default

I've been having a problem with the Internet Explorer default home page where somehow some bad sites have managed to find their way into my homepage default.
So everytime I sign on the computer I first have to change the settings to: about blank. Otherwise pages and pages from these sites begin to load automatically.

I tried to use the tools from Spyware to 'disable' this function but it only lasts for just the one session. The next day when I turn the computer on I have to go back and redo the set-up.

Needless to say, my real issue is finding away to get rid of the listings on my default home page (properties). I tried simply deleting them but they just won't go away.

Can anyone help with this problem?

Hi silen,

Welcome at Wilders. :)

Let's see if we can find the cause.
Please go to http://www.tomcoyote.org/hjt/, and download 'Hijack This!'.
Unzip, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".

When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log as a .txt file, and copy and paste its contents into your next post.

Most of what it lists will be harmless, so do not fix anything yet.

Regards,

Pieter

Reboot after doing so, preferably into safe mode (http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/tsgeninfo.nsf/docid/2001052409420406) and delete:
C:\PROGRAM FILES\HTTPER <= entire folder
C:\PROGRAM FILES\CLEARSEARCH <= entire folder
C:\Program Files\Internet Optimizer <= entire folder
sys.reg
c:\windows\windows.vbs

Then download Spybot - Search & Destroy (http://www.tomcoyote.org/SPYBOT/)
After installing, first press Online, and search for, put a check mark at, and install all updates.
Next, close all IE windows, hit 'Check for Problems', and have SpyBot remove all it marks in red.

Or, download Ad-Aware at lavasoft.usa.com (http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware)
After installing AAW, and before running the program, update by using the Globe icon.
Shut down and restart Ad-Aware.
Now press "Scan Now", "Select drives\folders to scan" and select the active partition (usually C: ), then 'next', and let Ad-Aware scan your drives.
It will find a number of "bad" files and registry keys. Click 'Next' again.
Rightclick in that pane and choose "select all and click 'next'.
It will ask you whether you'd like to remove all checked items. Click OK.
Finally, close Ad-Aware, and reboot.

And read this on how to prevent future infections: http://boards.cexx.org/viewtopic.php?t=957

Then do an online virusscan, you will find several listed here: http://www.wilders.org/free_services_m.htm

Dear Pieter,

You're a godsend...my computer is working like a charm!!!
I sent a donation to SpyBoot and hope that it's part of your same group. If not, please advise.

This was a great experience to learn and participate in the clean-up. I encouraged several friends to join the community and I can't thank you enough again.

Can an on-line experience get any b :) :) :) :)etter than this?

Yours kindly,

-Silen
