Hijacked IE home page

Hi - My Norton firewall informed me that a virus intrusion (trojanbyte and trojan dropper) had been detected and the virus files had been deleted. I ran Norton AV scan and no virus files were detected. However, my IE home page is changed to a search engine (only when I hit the "home" button on the IE tool bar. My home page loads normally from the desktop). I ran HJT and find several lines in my registry that I believe are the culprit. Can you look at my HJT registry scan and recommend which lines I should delete?
Also, any thought why Norton Firewall (2004) didn't prevent this from happening?
Thanks

Hi WMitch6,

Sure, post your log and we'll have a look.

Regards,

Pieter

 

Pieter - I added my log to my original post. I suspect that all of the links except my ISP home page (Comcast) are bogus. However, I don't know if there is anything else I need to delete.

Thanks again

 

Hi WMitch6

Could u please download and run CWShredder at this link,

Looks like CWShredder cleaned up your Hijack.

I still see some suspicious entries in your log but iam not an expert at reading HJT so please be patient and one of the experts will be along to give u further recommendations.


Thanks



snowbound

 

Hi WMitch6,

Check the items below in HijackThis, close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {FDD3B846-8D59-4ffb-8758-209B6AD74ACC} - (no file)

O4 - Global Startup: Updates from HP.lnk = C:\Program Files\Updates from HP\137903\Program\BackWeb-137903.exe

Then reboot and check if you can find the file:
spsublsp.dll

If you do find it, please rightclick it and let me know what it says under properties.

Regards,

Pieter

 

Hi Pieter - I used Hijack This to remove the two lines you cited. I rebooted and searched for SPSUBLSP.DLL. I found it in the systems32 directory. According to the file description it is a Spam Subtract Layered Service Provider, ver 2.0.0.45 from Intermute Inc. If I can believe the file dates, it was installed before I purchased this computer.

 

Hi WMitch6,

If you are not using Spam Substract you can have HijackThis Fix:
O10 - Broken Internet access because of LSP provider 'spsublsp.dll' missing

Regards,

Pieter

 

Pieter - I think your recommendations have fixed the problem. Thanks again to you and Snowbound for helping me out. It's too bad the support guys at Norton aren'tas helpful.

Wayne

 

Glad we could help, WMitch6
