    Hi thank you for helping. A few weeks ago my browser was hijacked and I didn't know what it was. I learned recently what it was and now need your help. When I open Interntet Explorer, it opens to a search web site that I can not get rid of. Originally it pasted all kinds of shortcuts on the desk top, but I got that stopped. Here is my log......Thanks again, Les

    Hi Les Fettig,

    Before you start, please unzip hijackthis to a separate folder. The program will make backups in the folder in the folder it's in.
    These easily get lost in a Temp folder.

    Check the items listed below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = www.searchant.com/sp
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = www.searchant.com/sp
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://searchexe.com/passthrough/index.html?http://www.yahoo.com/

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = www.searchant.com/sp

    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = www.searchant.com/sp

    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,CustomizeSearch = res://C:\PROGRA~1\Toolbar\toolbar.dll/sa
    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    O1 - Hosts: 206.230.228.10 auto.search.msn.com

    O3 - Toolbar: Bore idol beep - {35D2CC87-F0D9-1257-3C1A-1F28F3539E6A} - C:\PROGRA~1\MAGSRE~1\Mess Mapi.dll
    O3 - Toolbar: &Search Toolbar - {339BB23F-A864-48C0-A59F-29EA915965EC} - C:\PROGRA~1\Toolbar\toolbar.dll

    Then reboot into safe mode
    and delete:
    C:\Program Files\Toolbar <= entire folder
    C:\Program Files\MAGSRE~1 <= the entire folder that has Mess Mapi.dll in it
    C:\Program Files\ARMYSE~1 <= the entire folder that has DeleteMailStart.exe in it
    C:\Program Files\AutoUpdate <= entire folder
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\pcs <= entire folder

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Thanks Pieter for you help. I could not delete the temp folder within the toolbar folder. All else removed ok. I still have a problem that the Internet Explorer goes to adserver.sharewareonline.com after it loads. I ran adaware and it comes up with 231 unchecked entries. Do I need to check them mysdelf to remove them?

    Thank You, Les

    If you rightclick in the results window there should be an option Select All Items. That should speed up the process of removal.

    Let us know what problems are left after removing all that.
    And post a new log if necessary.

    Regards,

    Pieter
