Hijack Log - something is reinstalling

After being hijacked through some sort of script (the address bar still read about:blank) i ran both ad aware and spybot multiple times. After each reboot, new registry entries and files were found so there must be something reinstalling after i get rid of it. Thanks for your help on this people... you offer a great service!!

Hi mechro,

Nothing is showing in your log anymore, so it is hard to tell which variant is is/was.

Download Beta-Fix.exe from here: http://freeatlast.100free.com/Beta-Fix.exe

Double Click on the Beta-Fix.exe and it will install the batch file in its own folder in the same location as the file you downloaded.

Open the Beta-Fix folder and double click on !LOG!.bat
[IMPORTANT! Before you run this tool please close ALL running programs and ALL open windows except for the Beta-Fix folder.

Relax, sit back and wait a few minutes while the program collects the necessary information.

*NOTE:If your AntiVirus is running a scriptblocker, when you run this tool, you will probably receive an alert warning you that the script is running. "Allow" the script to run.

When the program is finished:

Open the Beta-Fix folder.
Post the contents of Log.txt in this thread.
Do the same for the file Win.txt

Regards,

Pieter

I have removed a lot of the empty space in the text to save space here. I am also running another Hijack This log and will compare it to the first one I posted. Thanks again for your help!

 

Errrm. The about:blank page would not happen to be empty, would it?

I see no hidden dll in the logs you posted.

If it is not empty please look at the source and find a piece looking like this:

res:\\%73%36%83 etc

Post that part in full

Regards,

Pieter
