    sorry, I've been really busy. Here I am :)

    Okay, first get rid of these entries in HJT:

    After you click "fix" and it goes through and removes them, you need to PULL THE PLUG on your computer - do not shut it down properly!

    Now, as it is booting, boot into SAFE MODE by tapping F8 key repeatedly before the computer comes up. If you MISS safe mode and it boots into normal windows, we're back to square one and you need to post a new HJT log because the filenames may have changed.

    In safe mode? Good. Find and delete the following files. Do not be concerned if they don't exist, just move to the next one:

    C:\WINDOWS\TEMP <-- empty the entire TEMP folder
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\LOLG.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\Reboot.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\reboot.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\Cxqefexw.dll


    After you delete those files, reboot and post a new log.

    Yes, se.dll will keep coming back as long as the reloader is not killed. The files have been renamed, so we need to start again.

    Download this tool called AboutBuster http://www.downloads.subratam.org/AboutBuster.zip
    Unzip it to your desktop but don't run it yet. You'll be running it in safe mode.

    Now, delete the following in HJT:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\se.dll/sp.html
    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Page = about:blank
    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = res://C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\se.dll/sp.html

    O3 - Toolbar: Search - {C9DFA762-E64F-CB43-0214-AEC9D5A4793C} - C:\WINDOWS\Cxqefexw.dll (file missing)

    O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [sp] rundll32 C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\SE.DLL,DllInstall

    O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [MSMSGS] "C:\PROGRAM FILES\MESSENGER\MSMSGS.EXE" /background

    O4 - Startup: Reboot.exe

    O18 - Filter: text/html - {054F74E5-B4D4-11D9-82FE-00D02792E2ED} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PDBK.DLL
    O18 - Filter: text/plain - {054F74E5-B4D4-11D9-82FE-00D02792E2ED} - C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PDBK.DLL

    Now, again, pull the plug. Boot into SAFE MODE. Find and delete these files:

    C:\WINDOWS\TEMP <-- the contents of the entire temp folder
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\PDBK.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\REBOOT.exe
    C:\WINDOWS\CXQEFEXW.DLL
    C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\cmmpu.exe


    Please make sure those files are deleted!

    After you delete them, run HJT in SAFE MODE, and do a scan, and make sure those entries are deleted! Print this out if you have to, because you won't be able to get on the internet in safe mode.

    Now, still in safe mode, run aboutbuster.

    After those files are gone, reboot and post a new log.

    Ok, what is the reloader?
    And my temp file has other files such as cookies and history files. Which I will avoid obviously.
    The CXQUEF..FILE i CANNOt find, I did a search and it is not there. Nonetheless I will be back in one day to do this and then I will post a new log.

    Here I go.
    :)

    Delete everything in the temp folder - everything. Sometimes spyware can hide in your history or cookies.

    The reloader is the program that reinstalls SP.DLL. It is probably PDBK.DLL and reboot.exe

    Don't worry about CXQEFEXW.DLL. Just make sure you follow the rest very closely.

    Ok, I've been very busy today so I will attempt this now.

    I just deleted reboot.exe. I have to print out your instructions in order to do this properly. It may take a few tries. :)

    Well an update, we have deleted a million 'temp' files that are associated with the aboutblank hijack. cleaned our registry all in safe mode. of course...did the spy sweeper and basically racket our brains out in deleting the b*tch. But it's still there, it loaded itself AGAIN on our start menu, and when we take out check mark associated with the start up menu item and disable it ; it COMES BACK!. ...so we now have kick the s***t, out of this computer and will reformat it ...and that's it folks..thanks for the sage advice, but sometimes WAR isn't good enought! grrr...thus this means total aniliation...grrr.. :rarr::rarr::rarr: :shoot: Thanks prime for sticking it out with me.. This MF is going down! :shoot:

    Are you sure you want to do that? We're not done yet. We have to do step 2 next.

    I can still help you remove this. It's not going to go away in one step.

    Yes Absolutely, this is what has to be done, everything that could be done has been done. I'm afraid it has to end this way....THE END. :):)
