Internet Explorer opens on its own and loads a page other than the default home page. I have zonealarm installed, so I stop this. I have run adaware, spybot and pest patrol. I ran spybot before running hijackthis. here is my log:

DE-select (uncheck) the lower box with
"inheritable permissions"
hit 'ok' and 'remove' on the following
security prompts.

Restart computer.


3.)On restart use VX2Finder again, select + delete the
last file, click "User Agent$" will remove that
entry from the registry.

4.)Click "Open regedit" again, this time
restoring the checkmark in "inheritable permissions"

5.)Click "Guardian.reg" Deletes the Guardian
Key.

6.Use Find again should produce a clean log of blank values.

7.)Click "Restore Policy" to restore the Debug
policy altered in the look2Me installation.(requires
reboot to apply, but not immediatley neccessary)

'Purpose of this so far is to keep the user out of
the system directory, and out of the registry where
they will get themselves into trouble.
Using VX2Finder buttons limits them to "one click"
operations and an unfortunate but neccessary
regedit of the "inheritable permissions" .
Again using the VX2Finder Regedit button opens
directly on whatever Guardian key they have,
limiting the user to the correct area instead of
trusting them to find it on their own.
*If the Guardian Key does not exist, regedit will open
one level up on the Notify key.

The total fix to remove all Look2Me components
listed only requires 1 reboot.

VX2finder.exe problem

I downloaded the VX2finder.exe file but nothing happens when I run it. What looks like a command prompt window (black) opens then immediately closes. Then nothing happens.

 

Could you copy and paste the text in bold into your IE addressbar and post the results that get displayed:
javascript:navigator.userAgent

Regards,

Pieter

Broadbandmedic.com made a different version of VX2finder.exe available to me and running it removed the pest. Thanks for your help.
