Help with shopnav drsn seach hijacking

Just yesterday I was bitten by the Hijack search DRSN.
However, it appears that unlike the others that have posted a similar situation, I have searched my computer for the *.dll files referenced in the removal processes AND
have not found ANY files/or folders with *SRNG*.

I have used the regedit to delete the registries with anything pointing to the drsn search engine but they reappear after I've rebooted and restarted IE.

I have used the IE tools optioins to reset the settings to default. THis seems to work only for that browser setting, assuming I close and reopen my IE Search (which I want to default to msnsearch.com with the previews in the right hand content pane. If I open an additional IE browser session (with the first one "fixed"), and I open the search tool, BOTH IE sessions becomes hijacked to drsn search...

 

Hi rcky mntere,

Before you start please unzip hijackthis.exe to a folder of it´s own. The program creates backups in the folder it is in. In a Temp folder they easily disappear.

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