And the MSG121Fix! tool which wouldn't reboot my computer automatically. The instructions say not to touch the screen's prompt box (!) but it kept timing out and just hanging there when it would try to log off. So I'm still stuck with this MSG121 problem. Please help. :'(

Default Re:Tried everything to get rid of MSG121.dll

Hi JennyN,

Check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://allaboutsearching.com/searchbar.html

R3 - URLSearchHook: (no name) - {8952A998-1E7E-4716-B23D-3DBE03910972} - (no file)

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

Regards,

Pieter

Hi JennyN,

Did you get the files here: http://www10.brinkster.com/expl0iter/freeatlast/L2M/Msg121.htm and did you follow the instructions for Win2k/XP ?

Let me know if you succeed this time. If not, I will ask FreeAtLast to assist.

I some how got rid of the ...cpy.msg121.dll file - not sure how. Maybe Ad Aware was able to delete that one, but still have the original file msg121.dll

Thanks for your help.

Default Re: Tried everything to get rid of MSG121.dll

Sorry, I haven't checked lately....
It mysteriously disappeared one day. I kept running adaware 6.0, and it must have gotten rid of it somehow.
I now have one showing up called 6004svc.copy.dll
Is this a new 'bad' file?

Thanks, and I'll check back more frequently in the future!!
Jenny
