    Hi all,

    REALLY hoping someone can help me out.

    My homepage has been hijacked by "C:/WINDOWS/secure.html". The screen has a blu background with white text. It is preventing me from changing my homepage back to what it was, and is doing other highly disruptive things to my PC's operation.

    I have run Adaware and S&D. I downloaded HighJackThis....here is my log....

    Hi Abes5000,

    Welcome to Wilders.

    Before you start, please unzip or move HijackThis to a separate folder. The program will make backups in the folder it's in. These easily get lost in a temporary folder or a folder with other programs.

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

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer,SearchURL = http://www.find-online.net/sp.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://www.find-online.net/sp.html
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Reg32] C:\WINDOWS\reg32.exe
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Dial32] C:\WINDOWS\dl.exe

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [WebScan] C:\PROGRA~1\ACCELE~1\ANTI-V~1\DEFSCA~1.EXE -k
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [eanth_critical_update_alert] C:\PROGRA~1\ACCELE~1\SYSTEM~1\sys_alert.exe /Startup
    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [EanthologyApp] C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\EACCEL~1\EANTHO~1.EXE /b Startup

    O16 - DPF: {56336BCB-3D8A-11D6-A00B-0050DA18DE71} (RdxIE Class) - http://software-dl.real.com/27d13de5038955875606/netzip/RdxIE601.cab

    Download CWShredder and run. Be sure ALL other windows are closed and use the Fix button and follow the instructions you will receive.

    There also may be hidden files. See HERE for how to show hidden files.

    Then reboot in Safe Mode and delete the following:

    C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
    C:\WINDOWS\reg32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\dl.exe
    C:\PROGRA~1\ACCELE~1\ <-- entire folder
    C:\PROGRA~1\COMMON~1\EACCEL~1\ <-- entire folder

    Reboot and then post a fresh HijackThis log.

    Regards,
    Kent
