HJT Log - Just can't get rid of a few lines!

Unknown

Good morning!
I've been trying to get rid of HSA for two days now , and I actually made some progressthis morning, but ALL of the entires won't go away. My browser seems to be going along just fine...I don't have pop-up windows anymore (at least right now), but when I run HJT for the second time, there are still a few bad entries . Any assistance anyone can offer is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
Kim
Following is my current HJT log...

Remove those entries is Safe Mode.

To boot into Safe Mode:
- Reboot PC
- After it powers back on, start tapping the F8 key.
- Select Safe Mode

If you get the Windows screen you were too slow.

All the lines should delete in safe mode.

knacrelli

Thanks for the info...but it seems that now I have a new problem.
For some reason, I can't boot up in safe-mode now! It has the list of files loading scrolling up the screenas it starts to boot in safe-mode, and the last file is mup.sys and it gets stuck...won't boot. I can boot in normal mode though.
I have a question that may sound kind of silly. When reading Dexter's directions on how to get rid of HSA, he says not to use the buttons to shut-down the computer, but to unplug the power. So...I've been making sure everything is closed, and just yanking the power for a few seconds, and then trying to boot in safe-mode. Am I doing this wrong? I thought it was bad to pull the power while the pc is on, but I'm not sure. I just want to see if I've caused this safe-mode problem
Thanks so much for your help...I can't wait to get rid of this aweful thing!

primesuspect

If your computer is hanging while booting safe mode, you might have other problems. Check your memory, first and foremost:

knacrelli

Hello!
Ok...I got the computer to boot up in safe mode again
I went through the steps to get rid of HSA twice, and still cannot get my HJT log to come clean. I am not having any of the web page problems like I was at first, but I think something is still wrong because I keep getting Trojans on my computer that McAfee is catching. (Exploit-MhtRedir.gen, Downloader-LG, Startpage-GU and Adware-SearchAid) The have all been caught and deleted by McAfee, but I never even had them attack my computer before this HSA thing. Anyhoo...following is my current HJT log. For some reason there are a few lines on there that just won't go away. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for all your help with this...you guys are great

Dexter

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you on this.

If you are not sure how to do some of the things I tell you, check the links I provide for instructions. You may want to print these instructions out for easy reference, or copy and paste to Notepad. Do not leave your browser open while performing these fixes.


Please make sure that HijackThis.exe is in its own folder, as explained here. Yours is NOT in its' own folder, it is running out of a TEMP directory. You must fix this, see the link I just supplied for an explanation.

Set your system to Show Hidden Files and folders.

For Windows XP or ME, Disable System Restore.

PULL THE POWER PLUG ON YOUR COMPUTER. Do not use the Start menu or the front power switch to shut your computer down. This step is called a HARD BOOT, and prevents files from renaming themselves during a soft boot.

Wait a few seconds, and plug the power cord back in. When it starts up, boot into Safe Mode.

Make sure that all Internet Explorer or any other browser windows or internet applications are closed. Do not have any other unnecessary programs running.

Run Hijack This. FIX THE FOLLOWING (place a checkmark beside the entries, and then press the Fix Checked button) :

**************

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\system32\okcqg.dll/sp.html#28129
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://msn.com/

R3 - Default URLSearchHook is missing


**************
Exit HJT.

Stay in Safe mode, manually locate:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\okcqg.dll

and quarantine it.

Then, go into C: -> Windows -> Downloaded Program Files, and delete everything in there. Anything you really need will be re-downloaded on demand when you visit the website that needs them.

Reboot normally, check things out, and come back to let us know how it turned out. Post a fresh HJT log for review. If things looks clean, re-enable your system restore and set a new restore point.

Dexter...
