Help My homepage has been hijacked! (C:\WINDOWS\secure.html)

My hompage has been Hijacked by this URL. C:\WINDOWS\secure.html

This problem started happening Monday of last week, I am not sure if this was my father fault. My PC was Running fine the last time I used it.

I have a popup blocker (Pop Up Blocker free ED) and when i turn it off and close IE I get a Adult site pop up.

I am desperately seeking any help.

Theres alot of c**p in your registry, just lettin ya know!!

First off I would deffinatly remove these registry settings.......

O2 - BHO: (no name) - {0000607D-D204-42C7-8E46-216055BF9918} - (no file)
O2 - BHO: (no name) - {1DA96B59-EF15-0EBF-8653-60550AD57D4F} - C:\WINDOWS\System32\lmq.dll
O2 - BHO: WhistleHlprObj Class - {27557cf1-a237-496d-8c8f-08f3844c6a8b} - C:\Progra~1\whistlesoftware\WselServices\whistlehe
lper.dll (file missing)

Secondly I would take a look into these particular programs and see if they are a threat! Do a search of the exe file HERE!

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [ezcktqvk] C:\WINDOWS\System32\iqvawsjn.exe
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [PopUpStopperFreeEdition] "C:\PROGRA~1\POPUPS~1\POP-UP~1\PSFree.exe"

last but not least, these are remnants of someone messing around with the allowd and dissallowed sites area (accessed by going to TOOLS, then INTERNET OPTIONS, then SECURITY, then TRUSTED SITES) I would not recomend using this utility as it only causes headaches. If you are wanting to block someones internet usage and this is a NT machine (i.e. windows NT, 2000 or XP) I would recommend adding them in as a secondary user on that pc. you can limit there access that way!!

Thank you for your reply and help Tangz

Yeah I guess there is a lot of c**p in my registry ^_^;
I removed the three registry settings like you suggested, and I did search for the exe files. The results are:

iqvawsjn.exe Nothing showed up :(

PSFree.exe

PSFree U PSFree.exe Pop-Up Stopper Free from Panicware. Pop-up blocker integrated into the IE toolbar. Note that the Pro version doesn't load in startup as it is installed as an Internet Explorer toolbar. Can cause problems with IE if you use WinXP and uninstall Service Pack 1. Uninstalling the software leaves it in the startup group

lper.dll missing? I am sorry i have no clue what that .dll is for ^^; doesn't sound good though

Do you know the best way to keep spyware off the pc or at least the best way to do pc maintence for newbies?

The only 2 programs I would recomend for cleaning up your system on a weekly bassis.......

AdAware - http://www.lavasoftusa.com/software/adaware/
and
Spybot Search & Destroy - http://www.safer-networking.org/en/index.html

Also, and i try to tell everyone out there about this....

If you have a serious problem with popups and just cant live witout a popup stopper, download Mozilla, its a browser just like internet explorer that has the ability to block ALL popups. Best of all its free, it is developed by the same people that made netscape browser.

you can get it here.....
http://www.mozilla.org/

(the blocker is not turned on by default, you have to enable it in the tools settings)

Before I look at your log, update norton and scan the system

download and install both adaware and spybot, make sure you update them as well... (from TangZ's post)

after those have done what they can, repost your log and I'll be happy to look through it...

Byan

BTW: Opera is also a nice browser, which I use sometimes Opera.com
I use MyIE2 but it uses the same engine as IE but it does have a ad filter and pop-up blocker..., myie2.com

Not there now so I presume you have *fixed* it??
Next time it happens boot up into safe mode, run hijackthis & have it fix the relevant entries.

Also see if this file is there & delete it too;

C:\WINDOWS\secure.html

Thanks again for using your time to help me :)

So far I did a Spybot sweep and Adware sweep, rebooted in safe mode and ran Hijackthis and also deleted the

C:\WINDOWS\secure.html file

and the secure page still comes up :(. I even changed my hompage back to google and still didn't work.

here is my logfile

Ok. I may have missed something in your log that should also have been deleted. Still learning what the new entries in 1.98 are :o .

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following:

C:\WINDOWS\secure.html-file
C:\WINDOWS\system32\system32.dll-file

Delete your Temp Internet Files in Internet Exploder.

Still in safe mode close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Local Page = C:\WINDOWS\secure.html

O21 - SSODL: System - {F1143D0D-6794-4D9D-BAF4-2E09EC9EED34} - C:\WINDOWS\system32\system32.dll

Reboot a couple of times to see if it returns. Hopefully this should get it. Fingers crossed.

Download the Hoster from here. Press "Restore Original Hosts" and press "OK". Exit Program.
