Hi all - I have got two issues I need some help with.
Firstly, my internet explorer home page has been hi jacked with a dll I cannot access or remove (res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdocsv.dll/API32.htm#ID=347;065D) - it displays an advert for spyware. (Evidence Eliminator)
Secondly, my desktop has also been hi-jacked by another spyware system(http://www.antivirus-gold.com/?wm=&swm=), which has loaded a screen.html document into my C:\Windows.
I have tried using Hi-Jacksoftware (as presented in these threads) but tono avail. Can anybody help?

I think that you may be able to fix this problem by disabling the programs. I'm not sure of the names of the programs but if you could find out where they are located on your computer or even a general direction. I could help you from there.

Hi - Ive managed to solve the desktop issue - but the IE one remains. Basically a file called screen.html has been installed, that is being called by a dll located and called C:\WINDOWS\system32\shdocsv.dll/API32.htm#ID=347;065D. I can find the dll as a read only file through the command prompt, but it wont let me delete it from the command prompt.
This is the html source of the IE page.
<html><head><title>Privacy Alert</title>******** language='JavaScript'>var id='SVC'; function ok() {self.focus();self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);}var c='205.';function xxx() {var x=new Array();x[0]='xxx';for (i=1; i<30; i++) {a=Math.round(Math.random()*70); document.write(x[a]+', ');}document.write(' ...');}</script>

Can you access your control panel?

Yes - like I say I have fixed the desktop issue - although I have an exe file called gdbj.exe that caused the problem left in my Temp file - and I cannot delete it.
The issue remaining is the home page for IE - I have since downloaded firefox as a temporary solution - but obviously not perfect.

I use Firefox. Firefox is the perfect solution. Rants on...lol
Anyway...
Do you use Adaware? I think that Adaware may let you delete it.
The IE problem.. is a little tougher... Do you know the name of the program that causes this problem? Do you know where it is located on you computer?
EDIT: I hope that I don't get into trouble for this...
EDIT AGAIN: I wonder why Buckeye-Sam hasn't posted here yet... :scratch:

Hi yes - the problem is caused by an 'invisible dll' located in C:\Windows.
It is also calling an API called API32.htm. But is cannot locate this (ive performed a search, and found one in the Temp directory, deleted it, but the problem was still there.)
I can locate the dll through the command line, but it is read only. I have started the computer in safe mode, but it is still in read only mode there aswell.
Im confused!
