Default [Solved] Internet hijacked

After internet is running for a few minutes I can not go to any web pages or return to any. I get an error screen message. I must reboot and it continually keeps repeating the process. Here is my log. Any help is deeply appreciated! Thank you so much!

Default Re: Internet hijacked

Hi aktoklat,

Before you start, create a permanent folder on your C: drive (example: C:\HJT) and move HijackThis off the desktop and into it's own folder. HijackThis must run from it's own folder and not the Desktop or Temp folders. It creates backups in the folder it is ran from, so if you should need to put anything back, you will have those backups to restore from.


Place a check beside the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis, and click *Fix checked:

O3 - Toolbar: QuickSearch Search Bar - {82315A18-6CFB-44a7-BDFD-90E36537C252} - C:\Program Files\QuickSearch\QuickSearchBar1_27.dll

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [UpdReg] C:\WINDOWS\UpdReg.EXE
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [TkBellExe] "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Real\Update_OB\realsched.exe" -osboot
O4 - Global Startup: Microsoft Office.lnk = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office10\OSA.EXE

O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/09909d2...ip/RdxIE601.cab

Then reboot and delete this folder:
C:\Program Files\QuickSearch

Also, did you install Spectorsoft?
http://www.kephyr.com/spywarescanner...or/index.phtml

Post another log here in this thread to be checked, and let us know if anything has improved.

Regards,

snap

Default Re: Internet hijacked

Hi aktoklat,

I am not seeing anything in your log that would indicate an infection, so I am at a bit of a loss why your unable to view webpages.

What is the error message you are seeing when this happens? And after you reboot your computer, this clears it temporarily and you can view webpages for a few minutes?

You can try an on-line scan and see if it shows anything. Free Services

Or this could be a sofware conflict between the BHO's you have running.

Regards,

snap

Snap,
After a few minutes on the internet I cannot view anything further. I receive a msg that says " could not connect to remote server" is displayed on Opera browser. IE display " page could not be found" after several minutes of searching. When I reboot it operates a few minutes again and the same problem reoccurs. What is next! Thanks a bunch! I must keep it short or I will not be able to send before I experience the same again.

Default ? Snapdragin

It seems the connection is being hijacked, but it does not forward or carry me to anyother site. The display is one of a lost connection. I have DSL and I can see the connection is not lost? Any thoughts?? Thanks

Default Re: Internet hijacked

Hi aktoklat,

I'm puzzled.

This may be an internet connection problem now, rather than a spyware problem, but lets check the Hosts file just to be sure. Download Toadbee's Hoster ver 1.4 from here: http://members.aol.com/toadbee/hoster.zip

Unzip it to it's own folder then doubleclick the Hoster.exe file to run it. It will give you a view of your Hosts file. Tell me if there is a list of domain IP's there other than the default entry 127.0.0.1 localhost.

Also try flushing the DNS
Go to Start -->Run and type "CMD" and hit ok. At the prompt, type "ipconfig /flushdns and hit enter.

Can you tell me what firewall(s) you have running, router, software firewall, XP's firewall enabled? And have you tried contacting your ISP to see if they've had any downtimes for maintenance etc?

I'll ask one of our firewall Experts to look at your thread too. They may have another idea of what might be causing the pages to stop loading. It does sound like you are getting an internet connection, but just not being able to see webpages after a few minutes. Is this just happening in Opera, or is it happening in IE also?

Regards,

snap

Hi aktoklat

Which version of NIS/NPF are you running?
Could you check all your event logs for any entries that may indicate what is happening.

Regards,

CrazyM

I ran the toadbee/hoster and I saw these 102.54.94.97 rhino.com
38.25.63.10 acme.com. and 207.0.0.1 underneath the example, is this what I am looking for. I clicked on the first two and removed them. I am running Norton NIS2004 as a trial I have been using spyboot & AVG. My firewall is norton included with the NIS 2004. I saw nothing unusual in the event log but I do not know exactually what i should be looking for.
Suggestions, the same problem still exists whether on IE or Opera?! Thanks

Did you add these entries? Any other questionable entries?
You may want to consider replacing your hosts file - there are others, but you could try one of these:
MVPS Hosts File
hpguru's Hosts File

Check the Content Blocking, Firewall, Privacy and System logs for things that are being blocked or configuration changes that could be affecting your browsing.

Default fixed, I hope, fingers crossed!

I reloaded all my programs and then it would still cause the same problem, Internet would stay online for about 5 minutes. I contaced my ISP and spent two hours trying several fixes with four different indivivuals. No Luck!
after I got off the phone with the local techinican for my ISP. The system starting working and staying on line! I have no clue as why it started working, but am glad it is! I thank Crazy Mike and Snapdragin for all the help, my heart and gratitude goes out to ya'll for the help! Thanks so much for the help and patience with me, again THANK YOU!

We're glad we could help, aktoklat, but you did all the work.

Here are some steps to follow to help tighten your security and keep your computer safe: Why did I get infected in the first place?
