Home Search removal

[pUtYk4]

sup ppl, my internet explorer has been hijacked by something... I've tried almost everything and everytime i turn off the computer the files are back where they were. I already downloaded and used the adaware, spybot and the hijackthis programs, so far i really don't know if i should erase anything from the list... please i need my computer to work if i can clean this without formating my pc it'd be perfect. Next is the log from hijackthis

We'll get rid of the easier stuff then move onto HSA, since that may take a while to cure.

Boot into Safe Mode (press F8 at the BIOS screen when booting) and do the following:

O18 - Protocol: icoo - {4A8DADD4-5A25-4D41-8599-CB7458766220} - C:\WINDOWS\MSOPT.DLL

Fix those entries then (still in safe mode) find and delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\IPGS.DLL
C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINAD CLIENT\ (the whole folder)
C:\PROGRAM FILES\WINDOWS ADCONTROL\ (the whole folder)
C:\PROGRAM FILES\WEB_REBATES\ (the whole folder)
c:\temp\salm.exe

Then reboot and post a new log.

Also, after this, do not reboot or use Internet Explorer (use Mozilla or Firefox instead) until I say your log is okay.

Ok, i already got rid of those files in u said i should get rid of this is the second log:

Fix those entries then find and delete the files listed above, pull the plug and post a new log.

Also, this won't fix the problem, but it will get rid of some of the garbage. The file that reinstalls HSA on boot is still there, but it shouldn't install all of those files again. Probably only two or three.

[pUtYk4]

Ok this is the third log i post let's hope there's not too much sH** in this one =)

Fix that entry then find and delete the following files:
C:\WINDOWS\JAVAHZ32.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FLCSS.EXE

If C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\FLCSS.EXE won't delete, open taskmanager (CTRL ALT DEL) and see if it is runnig. If so, end task and delete

[pUtYk4]

hello again!

I deleted the C:\WINDOWS\JAVAHZ32.EXE but i had to do it in safe mode cause i couldn't get rid of it in any other way, but i can't delete the flcss.exe it says it's running but even if i hit ctrl + alt + del, it doesn't appear to be running, i thought that maybe the file was linked to windows.exe or sumthing like that do i have to format? or is there any way of deleting the file?

anyways here's the latest hijackthis log
