problem seemed to have vanished when i came back home today and restarted pc. weird as i had not even deleted the item you mention here:Browntoa wrote:this item is still in the log
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\!!6D79666B-C83D-4A62-ACE3-
7A60A7824030}: NameServer = 85.255.113.195 85.255.112.223
I ran Spybot search and destroy again and strange as it had loads of updates to do which was not there a few days ago.
Donnie - i cant see a tools menu on Spybot S&D ver1.3. Is this the software you mean?
Also do i need to make a system restore now - if so how? as i disabled it before on advice from AVG website.
THANKS AGAIN0 -
Install the 'Tea Timer' option too. Allows you to block items from adding themselves to the registry.0

THANKS
have downloaded spybot ver1.4. strange as although i had ver1.3 i would have thought 1.4 would come as auto update.
have checked boxes for BHOS/ Hopefully this should prevent any future problems.

The 017 entries Browntoa has earmarked are connected to a rogue Russian ISP which has hijacked your DNS settings. Now, eveytime your browser calls your ISP's server, it's getting redirected through the Russian ISP. This infection is commonly referred to as a Wareout infection and will reqiure an additional tool to clean up properly.
Step 1
Please download FixWareout from either of these links:
Save it to your desktop and close ALL Internet Explorer windows and any Windows Explorer windows which may be open (failure to close these may affect the removal process).
Double click Fixwareout.exe and run it. Click Next, then Install. Then make sure "Run fixit" is checked and click Finish. The fix will begin; follow the prompts. When asked to reboot your computer, please do so. Your system may take longer than usual to load; this is normal.
Step 2
Before doing this write down all the settings. Note that not all system/setups even have these settings, While some connection service's will require them.
These instruction's are basically for home users.
Enter your Control Panel. If you are using Windows XP's Category View, select the Network and Internet Connections category otherwise double click on Network Connections. Then right click on your default connection, usually local area connection for cable and dsl, and left click on properties. Double-click on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) item and select the radio dial that says Obtain DNS servers automatically. Make sure the radio dial has the Green Dot in it!!
Step 3
Click Start | Run and type CMD and click OK.
At the Dos Prompt Screen, type in cd\ and hit enter.
Now type in ipconfig /flushdns and click enter! (notice the space in the middle)
Then close the command prompt.
Step 4
Reboot when finished and post the following in your next reply please:
1. Fresh HijackThis log.
2. C:\fixwareout\report.txt0 -
right. Done what you said just when i thought all was solved.
When i run the fixwareout programme i noticed when pc restarted and loaded as normal after a few mins it changed my home page (default IE) from bbc to msn. Is this normal?
anyway i post the fixwareout results and hijack this results below.
thanks0 -
hijack this now after all the steps:
Q: Can i use my pc for online banking??

Looking better.

Just that one 017 entry to remove now. Before you fix the below entry with HijackThis, please disable Spybot's Tea-Timer function. Leaving it enabled may prevent it's removal.
Open Spybot.- Click on Mode > Advanced Mode.
- Click on Tools (bottom left corner).
- Click on Resident and uncheck the "Resident TeaTimer box.
- Close Spybot.
Now close ALL browser windows (including this one) and any Windows Explorer windows which may be open (very important).
Open HijackThis and scan. Place a check before the following entry and click Fix Checked:
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\!!6D79666B-C83D-4A62-ACE3-7A60A7824030}: NameServer = 85.255.113.195 85.255.112.223
Restart the machine and post a fresh log please.
* Before copying and pasting the log from the text file, click "Format" from the notepad menu and deselect "Word Wrap" so that the log appears in one block;.
======
With regards using the machine for online banking, I would hold fire until you've run a rootkit scan.
Download GMER from here:
http://www.gmer.net/gmer.zip
Unzip it and start GMER.exe
Click the rootkit-tab and click scan.
Leave the machine alone while scanning.
Once done, click the Copy button to copy the results to your clipboard.
Paste the results in your next reply please.0
