Help!! Home Search Assistant, Search Extender, & Shopping Wizard

Unknown
edited May 2005 in Spyware & Virus Removal
I have three programs in my add/remove program directories that I think are suspicious.

Home Search Assistant
Search Extender (Has MSN Messenger Logo?)
Shopping Wizard

I went through the whole HSA removal guide...and the first time I restarted, it said windows can't find ny...32.exe file. (There was two of them similar windows couldn't find) And then when I opened up Explorer, it goes to a blank screen. It is trying to find the HSA page, but it can't. I try reseting my home page and it just puts it back to blank. Here is my log, thanks in advance. This is so frusterating.

I am not very saavy with computers in this detail, so detailed instructions would be greatly appreciated!!

Thanks!

    You have an HSA infection. The filenames on this type of infection can change each time you reboot your computer or use Internet Explorer. With that in mind, some of these filenames may be different. But the pattern is the same and you may be able to determine the correct files to remove. The sooner you perform this fix, the higher it's chances for success.

    Much of this fix has to be performed in Safe Mode where you won't be able to access the Internet. Please print out these instructions.


    Step 1
    Download CWShredder but don't run it yet.


    Step 2
    Download AboutBuster
    Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet.


    Step 3
    Download Ad-aware SE 1.05
    Install the program and launch it. First, in the main window, look in the bottom right corner and click on Check for updates now and download the latest reference files. Exit Adaware for now.


    Step 5
    Make sure that you can VIEW ALL HIDDEN FILES.


    Step 6
    Run Hijackthis again, click scan, and Put a checkmark next to each of these. Then close all other windows--you should only see HijackThis on your Desktop--and click the Fix Checked button.

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [IEXPLORE.EXE] C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE

    O23 - Service: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper ( 11Fßä#·ºÄÖ`I) - Unknown owner - C:\WINDOWS\system32\d3nf.exe (file missing)


    Step 7
    Reboot your computer into SAFE MODE


    Step 8
    Now run CWShredder, making sure to click "Fix".


    Step 9
    Then delete these files or directories (Do not be concerned if they do not exist)

    C:\WINDOWS\system32\d3nf.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\crdd.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\system32\ntsx.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\ntyn32.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\ipgc.dll
    C:\WINDOWS\kgybu.dll


    Step 10
    Double click AboutBuster.exe that you downloaded earlier. Click OK, click Start, then click OK. This will scan your computer for the bad files and delete them. Save the report(copy and paste into notepad or wordpad and save as a .txt file) and post a copy back here when you are done with all the steps.


    Step 11
    Run a full scan with Adaware.


    Reboot your computer to go back to normal mode and post a new hijackthis log and the log from About Buster.
