Search your entire system drive, including hidden and system folders, for file "hosts". There is one legit copy, in C:\WINDOWS. The others are possibly bogus, and part (but just part) of the problem. Examine the contents of each copy found, using Notepad. (HINT: Scroll to the end of each Hosts file, by hitting Ctrl-End, then back up to the top, page by page, before deciding that the file is empty. Look out for blank lines at the beginning and end of the file, after localhost, placed there by an exploit!) How current is your virus protection? Try one or more of these free online virus scans: http://www.bitdefender.com/scan/license.php http://www.pandasoftware.com/activescan/com/activescan_principal.htm http://www.ravantivirus.com/scan/ http://security.symantec.com/ssc/home.asp http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp Now check for, and learn to defend against, additional carriers of infection. Have you downloaded these programs before? Download them again, as many are revised frequently, to keep up with the current level of malware being attempted constantly - get the absolutely most current version of each product listed. They're all free - and most pretty small, so they download quickly enough. First, download LSP-Fix and WinsockXPFIx from http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm, and CWShredder from http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4086.html. All are free. Next, close all Internet Explorer and Outlook windows, then run CWShredder. Have it fix all variants. Now check for, and remove, spyware. Get HijackThis http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=3155 and Spybot S&D http://www.safer-networking.org/index.php?page=download. Both free. 1) Install and run Spybot. First update it ("Search for updates"), then run a scan ("Check for problems"). Trust Spybot, and make all recommended deletions. 2) Install and run HijackThis. Do NOT make any changes immediately. Save the HJT Log. 3) Have your HJT log interpreted by experts at one or more of the following forums (and post it, or a link to your forum post, here): http://forums.net-integration.net/ http://forums.spywareinfo.com/ http://forums.tomcoyote.org/ http://www.wilderssecurity.com/ If removal of any spyware affects your ability to access the internet (some spyware builds itself into the network software, and its removal may damage your network), run LSP-Fix and / or WinsockXPFIx. Cheers, Chuck Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing. |
