Hijacked Homepage

Hi,

I carried out a scan using ad-aware 6.0, followed by the hijacked this scan. The problem I'm having is that my homepage keep defaulting to 'about:blank' every time I log on. I continually chage my homepage to bbc but when re-booting it always reverts to about:blank.
The result of the hijack log is below.

Then download and run CWShredder
Use the Fix button and follow the instructions provided by the program.

Then reboot and delete:
C:\Program Files\MyWebSearch <= entire folder
C:\WINDOWS\image.dll
C:\windows\rundll32.exe <= Note: DON'T delete C:\WINDOWS\System32\rundll32.exe
C:\Program Files\Submit <= entire folder
sys.reg

Hi Pieter,

Many thanks, I've deleted all the items you listed and when I ran CWshredder this appear to have worked.

When you said to reboot and delete the other four items
C:|Program Files etc did you mean from the Hijacklist or where else will I find them, also excuse my ignorance but how do I copy the font file you asked me to copy to your profile.

Manay thanks again

Regards

Brian.

As example how to delete the MyWebSearch folder:
Open explorer by doubleclicking "My Computer"
Doubleclick the icon for the C: drive
Doubleclick the Program Files folder
Rightclick the MyWebSearch folder and choose delete.

Regards,

Pieter
