Need help with a browser hijacker that Adaware and Spybot [email protected] won't fix

824 Views 1 Reply 2 Participants Last post by  cybertech
I have a browser hijacker that keeps changing my homepage to a site called "Search 123". I've run Adaware, Spybot S&D, CWS shredder and Norton Antivirus but it's still doing it. Can anyone help me?

This is my hijack this log:

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

Restart in safe mode Click here to see how

Open My Computer. Go to Tools, Folder Options and click on the View tab. Make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is checked. Also uncheck "Hide protected operating system files". Now click "Apply to all folders"
Click "Apply" then "OK"

Now find these files and folders and delete them.

C:\WINNT\winh.exe <-- file

You need to upgrade both W2K and IE. Start with Win2k SP4 here:
