    Hi Chris_Raska,

    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:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.your-search.info/search.html

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = http://www.your-search.info/start.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = http://www.your-search.info/search.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://www.your-search.info/search.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = http://www.your-search.info/search.html
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.your-search.info/start.html
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.your-search.info/search.html
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = http://www.your-search.info/search.html
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = http://www.your-search.info/search.html
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = http://www.your-search.info/search.html
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\blank.htm
    R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [system32.dll] C:\WINDOWS\system\systeminit.exe

    O4 - Global Startup: sytem32.exe

    O19 - User stylesheet: C:\WINDOWS\sstyle.css
    O19 - User stylesheet: C:\WINDOWS\sstyle.css (HKLM)

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

    Then reboot and delete:
    C:\WINDOWS\system\systeminit.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\sstyle.css
    c:\Documents and Settings\sys.exe
    sytem32.exe <= NOTE: the missing "S"


    Regards,

    Pieter

    don't worry if that sys.exe isn't there as it ihas been found in some examples of this pest, so it's wise to check in all cases

    what is a bit concerning though is this entry
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SystemTray] SysTray.Exe

    That is a common entry in windows98 & ME but isn't usual in XP.

    It can be a sign of a trojan infection so search for the systray.exe file probably in c:\windows and see if it exists there

    the correct version will be at c:\windows\system32\systray.exe and will be 3kb in size

    if you find any other versions except for the system32 version please note where they are and post back so we can check

    sometimes that entry is a left over from an earlier install of windows.

    My computer was upgraded from Windows 98 to Xp. A few months ago I ran the Disk Cleanup then and there was some files left from the old operating system. I checked the box and removed them. So do you think that its a lingering file or a file of some risk? What should I do?

    If it's an update then it's a fairly common left over and no risk

    just do a search and see where it is

    you will might find 2 versions then, one in c:\windows\system and one in c:\windows\system32

    if there is one just in c:\windows then I would have that file checked against the online virus checker here

    I found a file called systray it is an Application File located at C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32, the date modified is 8/23/2001 12:00pm. It also found SYSTRAY.EXE-345DCC1C.pf it is a PF File, the date modified is Today, March 28, 2004, 10:09:36 AM. I should delete the second one right? The first one is from when I had Windows 98 so that would make it a safe file left over from changing OS's. I will wait for a responce if I should delete the second one though. Thankyou all again for your help.

    They are both Ok so can be left

    the pf file is an xp preloader that is supposed to speed things up a bit so isn't important but leave them both alone.


    We just wanted to check just in case as I said earlier it's unusual to see that systray.exe in an XP HJT log as it runs as a service in XP not a process
