Help. Can't delete temp internet files /IE redirect
Hello,
MY IE browser is now directing to another site that I do not want (http://hp-desktop.aol.com/). I cannot change or delete this from the IE tools menu, though I can add a second home page so that my browser opens two tabs, one with the hp address, and the other with my desired page.
Also, I've tried deleting my temporary internet files from the tools menu, and it will not work (deleting cookies and history does work). So I've tried going through windows explorer and deleting them manually. However, when I get to that folder, I get this message "Windows has encountered an error and needs to close". I have tried this probably 20 times and get the same result.
I have tried deleting them from dos as well, and the dos window simply closes.
I booted in safe mode and still cannot delete them. Below is my hijack log.
Any tips on how I can fix this? I also tried changing the redirected web site in the regedit.exe, but it won't let me.
I have tried running Norton Antivirus for the last week, and it always stops when it hits several different files in a subfolder of temp internet files/content.ie6. Just last night, it finally made it through the 400K files on my machine with no findings.

Hi
That's a busy looking HJT Log...
I would start by saving your HJT log install to your desktop, you have it in a temp location and any changes you make will dissapear when you clean out your temp files.
Run your log again and have it fix these:
R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = http://ie.redirect.hp.com/svs/rdr?TY...ion&pf=desktop

These 017's are not good:
It was so simple for me to declare victory after changing my DNS settings back. No such luck. This morning, AGAIN, I google for a site, and it sends me to search engines, and other wierd sites on the Internet. So I googled for hijackthis.exe, and ran the program. Look what I found:
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: Domain = home
O17 - HKLM\Software\..\Telephony: DomainName = home
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{070C8E38-C79D-403A-94EC-0D3BF5944147}: NameServer = 85.255.114.91,85.255.112.102
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{3153A29C-2527-4181-8852-8C7270CBE353}: NameServer = 85.255.114.91,85.255.112.102
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: Domain = home
O17 - HKLM\System\CS1\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.91 85.255.112.102
O17 - HKLM\System\CS2\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: Domain = home
O17 - HKLM\System\CS2\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.91 85.255.112.102
O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\Parameters: NameServer = 85.255.114.91 85.255.112.102
Those DAMM DNS servers in Russia were back. And ipconfig /flushdns did not remove them. Only deleting them with hijackthis.exe made them go away. Now… the question is, will they stay gone.

After you have fixed these, do a general cleanup with Ccleaner remember to uncheck the Yahoo bar option, unless you want it, but as I can see with your log, google is currently listed as a BHO.
Now read this: How_did_I_Get_infected_in_the_first_place
You can resubmit your log in this thread as a reply, or you can go to http://forum.aumha.org/viewtopic.php?t=4075 and have someone walk you through it..

...might not be a bad idea to have a second webbrowser.
Firefox or Opera would at least restore some functionality

Once you get cleaned up. Install Spybot Search and Destroy. When prompted install the "TeaTimer" utility. This utility runs in the background, if anything tries to change a registry setting it stops it and asks the user for permission.
It can be a pain in the butt when you are legitimately doing an upgrade or something. But it's great when you are idly surfing and then something like "cool web search" tries to come into your life.

personally even after running all those scans i'd back up all important documents etc onto a DVD disc etc and just do a format and clean install. As i would always think that there is still something lurking around even after scanning the system so many times etc.
you've obviously been rooted. So i'm gonna suggest maybe back up and format and re-install might be the way to go.
cheers

you've obviously been rooted. So i'm gonna suggest maybe back up and format and re-install might be the way to go
Has hasn't been rooted at all...he just has some mal/spyware is all......a very big difference from being rooted...
With the applications available today to remove these nasties from a system there is definitely no cause for a format until you are sure you absolutley can't remove the unwanted program.
If Spybot, Ccleaner etc all come back and say your clean then the chances are you are indeed clean.
Formatting is, in a way, playing into the hands of the person who wrote the nasty in the first place and should be used at the very last option. If you can remove it and everything still works fine, then you have got one up on the progammer. (at least that is the way I see it )

I am a true dope. the issue probably isn't with your computer, look to your router.

every time you connect it will get its dns servers from your homerouter, then it send you to the compromised dns servers. fix the dns settigns localy, and on teh router. then put a strong admin password on that router.
Who is more trustworthy then all of the gurus or Buddha’s?

check you hosts file ...I have seen that polluted with crap
C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc> right click hosts and open with notepad....should be like this
Copyright (c) 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
127.0.0.1 localhost
if there are extra lines in there onder the 127.0.0.1...
that would definately fluck up your DNS
