    In the Vast Fields of My Mind
    This is the fourth time I have tried to post my HJT log, I don't know what I am doing wrong, it keeps saying "go back" and log in(?I am logged in?). Then my whole post disappears, so here goes, IE won't let me on th 'net or open my start page, I have to find complicated ways to get on and it is a hassle! I have updated IE, Window, run Spybot S&D, AdAware 6, CWS, SpywareBlasters, SpywareGuard, WinPatrol, McAfee Internet Security Suite 6, and I ran that stinger and PHag-a-bot from F-secure, and STILL IE insists on saying it has to close. I clicked on the tech button, curiously, and it is trying to send COMPLETE files, different ones each time, I turned off the error reporting thing long ago, a pest, it was. (Is that it?) CWS found smartsearch, said it kept changing :)-[ )something. I noticed Spybot finds alot of app: wrong path, but I'm just learnin' all this. My (Dell WinXP Sp1) 'puter is 7 months new to me, HELP!! HAPPY HUNTING!! THANKS SO MUCH!!! Marja

    Hi Marja,

    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:

    O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
    O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

    Then reboot and you should be able to access the options again.

    Regards,

    Pieter

    Hello Pieter,

    Thanks for answering, I had a hard time getting back on the 'net, then I realized I didn't reboot,duh! Also, it is morning here and a dentist has my name on his drill:'( So, I just wanted you to know I will have to check back much later and not ignoring your help! I was wondering what in the world are all those name servers and addresses at the end? Thank you soo much for your time, next time I will remember to REBOOT!!:D

    Those are the DNS servers of Earthlink Your requests to see an internet page go through those, where the url´s (f.e. www.google.com) are translated into IP addresses (f.e. 64.233.167.99 )

    Regards,

    Pieter
