Hi,

My IE home page was hijacked by some tipe of a search engine.
The hijacker is controling my 'about:blank' and keeps changing the home page definition to be 'about:blank'.
When I try to go to google for example, from this page, I can't.
I have Norton Antivirus 2002 running on my PC and it detects nothing.
Some time it detect a script cold sysh.htm which I can't get rid of.
When I try to go to google while in this 'about:blank' page, by typing the address in the address line, I get a page saing it is un recognized address and I can see in the address line that actually google is being searched by - www.onestepsearch.biz.

Can you help with it?

Thanks

Welcome Hezi ,if you have not registered, please do it now. Hezi we need a snapshot of your running processes..........but First:
Virus=Read This: http://www.computercops.biz/postt8864.html
HiJack= Read This: http://www.computercops.biz/postt911.html

Download : HiJack This!

Create and Unzip to a folder not your Desktop or the Temp folder, doubleclick HijackThis.exe, and hit "Scan".
Unzip the download (using a piece of software like: Winzip)


When the scan is finished, the "Scan" button will change into a "Save Log" button.
Press that, save the log in a text file, and post it in the CCSP "Spyware - Hijack Related" forum:

http://computercops.biz/forum67.html


Most of what it lists will be harmless or even required, so do NOT fix anything yet.
Someone here will be happy to help you analyze the results.
