    Hi aassddff!

    Try out this tool here once (BHODemon):

    http://www.definitivesolutions.com/bhodemon.htm

    Could help you in your special case! ;)

    Best regards!

    Patrice
     
  3. aassddff,

    I think your best shot is to follow Tony's instructions he gave you here: http://www.net-integration.net/cgi-bin/forums/ikonboard.cgi?s=3eb65bd46b9affff;act=ST;f=32;t=3021;hl=new

    Patrice,

    I don't see any BHO's (O2 entries). Do you have any reasopn to assume that HijackThis 1.94 misses these?

    Hi Metallica!

    I'm not that familiar with Hijack This, so I can't answer you this question. But I'm sure others will be able to give a correct answer about that issue.

    But what I know is, that most people don't know, that they have Browser Helper Objects installed. It's happening quite fast... For example Adobe Acrobat Reader installs one -certainly a good one. But there are plenty others which will spy on you. ;)

    For those who are unfamiliar with BHO's:
    A Browser Helper Object, or BHO, is just a small program that runs automatically every time you start your Internet browser. Usually, a BHO is installed on your system by another software program. For example, Go!Zilla, the downloading utility, installs a BHO created by Radiate (formerly Aureate Media); this BHO tracks which advertisements you see as you surf the Web.

    Regards!

    Patrice

    I´m sorry. I misunderstood you, I guess. HijackThis shows all BHO´s like this for example: O2 - BHO: (no name) - {7559B76E-0222-4d77-9499-CCE9EB4EDC2F} - C:\PROGRA~1\ADSHIELD\ADSHIELD\ADSHIELD.DLL
    That is why I called them O2 entries. There aren´t any in aassddff´s log, that´s why I asked. Sorry for the misunderstanding. On this site: http://www.spywareinfoforum.com/bhos/ you can find most of the BHO´s known to mankind and check if they are legit or compromising your privacy.

    Hi Metallica!

    Where did you find that in aassddff's post?!? Thanks for letting me know, that the BHO's are shown in Hijack This, as I said I'm unfamiliar with that application.

    Regards,

    Patrice

    Patrice,

    Like I said there aren´t any BHO´s in aassddff´s log, that´s why I wondered about you recommending BHODemon.
    The AdShield BHO comes from one of my old logs. I save those to compare them from time to time. ;)

    Ah... sorry! I should have read your post more carefully... :oops: I wasn't aware that HijackThis shows the BHO's as well. I thought aassddff just shows some interesting parts from the log.

    Regards,

    Patrice

    No prob. The funny thing is there isn´t much of interest in aassddff´s log except maybe a lot of extra buttons in IE (the O9 entries). I would love to know where his problem comes from, but no response here or on net-integration so far.

    Ah, so that's what it was. :D There wasn't a BHO or another piece of code inserted in your IE, you just had a stuck history item in your drop down address list.

    I've had those. When it's happened to me it was usually because it was a corrupt address (perhaps I clicked on a link in a forum and someone had a typo in it so it was actually corrupt and IE could handle it). IE was unable to clear it with the Clear History option. I eventually found that it was stuck in the History Index.dat file (which, as you said, can be cleared by deleting the various index.dat and tif entries).

    Similar circumstances noted here:

    Glad you have it fixed!

    So. everyone, is it possible that xxxpowernet or whatever found a way to purposely make that happen?

    A new exploit, if you will? Pete

    You're using XP, right? Could you try this:
    Copy the bold below into notepad, save it as TypedURL.reg, doubleclick it, click OK at the prompt asking if you want to add it to the registry.
    After that open a new IE window and click the little arrow at the end of the address bar.

    Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

    [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-972563451-933833872-989089457-1000\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\TypedURLs]
    "url1"="http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=8994;start=11"


    Using a program the prompt can easily be avoided. Not sure if it will work because of the user ID, but I'm sure a program could read the correct one without problems. A BHO could write back that entry every time you launch a new IE window.

    Except for the "Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00" part? Pete

    Everything in bold spy1. But I think this part: S-1-5-21-972563451-933833872-989089457-1000 ruins it, because that should be a different one for you. Oh well, I think you get the idea. ;)
