Homepage Hijacked

[willowmoon]

Help! My home page has been hijacked by something called searchportal.info/10054. I rebooted in safe mode and ran hijack this (I downloaded the lates version of Hijack this yesterday) ad aware, and spybot s & d. I also went into the registry and cleaned out anything that had to do with searchportal.

After I rebooted in regular mode I found that the problem still persists. There must be something that I am not seeing. I cannot see it in the hijack this log either ---which I will put at the bottom of my message.

The hijack this log is showing on the first line that my homepage is yahoo....which is what it SHOULD be, but when I try to bring it up it goes right into searchportal.

I would soooo appreciate any help that can be offered, thanks.

After running the Microsoft AntiSpyware program do the following.

First we need to do a couple of things.
You may want to print out these instructions out for reference.

1. First Download CWShredder
And save it to your desktop.
Close all open browser windows and any other open windows.

Install CWShredder, then:
Open CWS and click "FIX"

2. Please run each of these online scans, allow each one to delete anything they find:
You may have to select auto-fix prior to scanning, it should be a selection on the screen.

• Panda ActiveScan
  TrendMicro HouseCall
  eTrust AntiVirus Web Scanner

Please make a note of anything that wasn't or couldn't be fixed.
Reboot your machine when finished.

3. You may have run these programs already, make sure they are up to date and run per provided instructions.
Current Versions are:
Spybot S&D Ver: 1.3 Download Here
Ad-Aware SE Build 1.05 Download Here

Download and install both Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware SE.

Instructions:

Spybot S&D:
Go to your Start Menu >> Programs >> Spybot S&D >> then choose Spybot S&D.

*Close ALL windows except Spybot S&D
*Click the button to "Search for Updates" and download and install the Updates.
*Close Spybot then launch it again
*Click the button "Check for Problems"
*When Spybot is done scanning, it will be showing "RED" (RED) entries, "BLACK" entries and "GREEN" (GREEN) entries in the window
*Put a check mark beside the RED (RED) entries ONLY.
*Choose "Fix Selected Problems" and allow Spybot to fix the RED (RED) entries.


Ad-Aware SE FULL SCAN:
Go to your Start Menu >> Programs >> Lavasoft Ad-Aware SE >> then choose Ad-Aware SE Personal.

When the main window opens look in the bottom right corner and click on Check For Updates Now then click Connect and download the latest reference files.

From main window:
*Click Start then under Select a scan Mode check Perform Full System Scan.
*Next deselect Search for negligible risk entries.
*To scan just click the Next button.

When the scan has finished mark everything for removal and get rid of it.
(Right-click the window and choose select all from the drop down menu and click Next)
The program will ask if you want to fix/delete selected items, choose yes/fix.

Empty Your Recycle Bin.

willowmoon, do you still need help? If we don't see an answer by tomorrow I will conclude that you have found help elsewhere and close this thread. Liz
