Hi spesh

This item looks like a worm.

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: c:\windows\system32\[b]crack.exe

Could you please go here:

Jotti Malware Scan
http://virusscan.jotti.org/

or here if Jotti's is busy:

Virus Total
http://www.virustotal.com/

Use the browse box to navigate to and submit the file:
c:\windows\system32\crack.exe

Wait while the scan completes. Copy the report at the end and post the results back here.

Hiya,

Jotti said this -



The file you uploaded is 0 bytes. It is very likely a firewall or a piece of malware is prohibiting you from uploading this file


Checked the file manually and it is reporting as 0bytes in windows too.

How should i proceed?

Thanks

mark

File size can't be more than 10 Megabytes.
You can't try compressing it.
Thanks you.

Do a *scan only* with HijackThis and checkmark this entry:
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Bun] c:\windows\system32\crack.exe
Then press the *fix checked* button.

Manually delete the file:
c:\windows\system32\crack.exe

Your homepage looks ok (not hijacked). If you are trying to change it to something else and can't are you getting an alert from one of your security programs about a change? It could be you have some browser protection in place blocking any changes?
