Close all applications and browser windows before you click "fix checked".

Do you know what this one is?
C:\PROGRA~1\USERCA~1\For Tons Mapi.exe

 

[ollieg]

not sure what that is!
should i get rid of it?
i think the fix checked worked. it said my ie address has been changed to none. got rid of the omegasearch.
thanks

 

[cybertech]

Reset your home page.

Use HJT and fix this one
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [filmbind] C:\PROGRA~1\USERCA~1\For Tons Mapi.exe
Don't forget to close everything before you click fix checked.

See if you can find this file. If so right click, go to properties and version tab. What information can you find on it?

 

[ollieg]

i cant find much on it. it just says for tons mapi C:/progam files/user cast 01
and my home page is trying to turn back to omega search.

 

[winchester73]

Did you fix the "For Tons Mapi" file? If so, restart your computer, and post a fresh HJT log.

 

[ollieg]

didn't fix it.
should i?

 

[winchester73]

Fixing it with HJT won't remove it from your computer, only keep it from being run when you boot up ...

It has a suspicious name/form/entry ... I take it you have no idea what it is.

 

[ollieg]

no. should i find it and remove it?

 

[ollieg]

when i find it in search. it wont let me delete it.

 

[ollieg]

restarted the computer now after checking that file. here is the new log.
