Here is log right after I rebooted PC. During this reboot I reveived an error box that popped up on screen. This is the absolute first time that I have ever received this message. It read:

"svchost.exe has generated errors and will be closed by windows. You will need to restart the program."

Close all Browser and Program Windows and have HijackThis fix the following.
Do this by checking the box beside each and then clicking on Fix checked.

O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Restrictions present
O6 - HKCU\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Control Panel present

Download Winhelp2002's deldomain.inf to your desktop. http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/DelDomains.inf

Right-click on the deldomains.inf file and select 'Install'
It will not appear to have done anything, thats ok.

Download IE-SPYAD it puts over 5000 sites in your restricted zone.

Then Download mvpshosts. tutorial here

Then post another log and let me know how it is working.
 
We may be getting a hit?

OK Eagle,
I went ahead and ran Hijackthis once. I put a check mark beside the two 06 registry entries from the above post and had hijackthis fix them. I then downloaded the MVPS domain.inf file and applied it. Before I applied it though, I opened it up in notepad to read about it. It was a very short description that listed a couple of registry keys that would be deleted and then recreated. Before I applied the bat file, I drilled down to the registry keys in question and found these two entries"


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchesengine.net

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchesengine.net\www


Does this provide us any information??

After doing this mini search, I then applied the bat file and rebooted the PC.
Then I downloaded and installed the IESPYAD file and then rebooted.

I do not totally understand the host file thing yet and am reading a little more. I would like to run the current configuration for a couple of days to see whether our browser hijacker returns (without the MCPSHOSTS).
I know as of this morning, before applying any of the fixes, I was still infected with the www.searchesengine.net hijack because it showed up. So lets see what happens over the next few days...

Here is a post of the new Hijackthis log taken after making all the fixes above except the host file.

No fix yet.

Sorry eagle,
Today (7-5@7:30pm) we got the redirect again.

I think the two reg keys that I had posted above have something to do with the internet options and the domains that are put into the restricted sites zone.

OK, what is our next move?

Before I applied it though, I opened it up in notepad to read about it. It was a very short description that listed a couple of registry keys that would be deleted and then recreated. Before I applied the bat file, I drilled down to the registry keys in question and found these two entries"


HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchesengine.net

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\searchesengine.net\www


Does this provide us any information??

The program should have deleted these are they still there?
 
They are there.

Yes,
This reg key is a listing of all sites that are in the restricted zone. looking back on the process now, I did manually add searchesengine.net to the restricted zones. The list now contains hundreds of sites due to one of the downloads that we did which places many sites in the restricted zones.

I thought we had stumbled across something, but it appears to be a false alarm. The same site, searchesengine.net now exits in this same key location only because I manually added it to the IE restricted sites list myself after uploading and installing the other restricted sites.

Any new suggestions?

Windows hosts file

I read a little about the hosts file and althought this does not find our root cause, it can sometimes provide an antidote to the mischevious browser hijacker. I drilled down to find my current hosts file and located it in the directory:

C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts

Spybot already had created a list of sites and all I did was append this list. Look at the very last entry to see the "searchesengine.net" reference.
I am somewhat pessimistic that this will work, but we will give it a shot and see what happens over the next day or two.

Copy of my current hosts file, the formatting was not retained when I pasted the sample in here, but there is a space between the IP and URL. The original hosts file that I pasted in this response exceeded the number of allowed characters. I have shortened the file to give just the last part, which includes the added searchesengine.net reference.

Didn't take long to see what happens.

OK,
It is now 7/7@8:46am and I just got done clicking on my IE icon to open up a new browser. The searchesengine.net page tried to load, but the hosts file trick apparently worked its magic. I get the generic looking "The page cannot be displayed" URL/webpage. At least this stopped the redirect, but it does nothing to allow me to get to YAHOO which is my home page. The redirct has an affinity for the YAHOO address it would seem? Could this provide any type of clue as to wear it is still hiding?

If I go to the address bar and try to manually type in "www.yahoo.com", I get the hosts file taking over and displaying the generic "The page cannot be displayed" URL. I can look in my favorite folder and select an entry from there and poof, I can be browsing again. If I type "www.google.com" into the address bar, I get google. It appears that the browser hijacker from searchesengine.net is specifically rerouting my homepage/YAHOO.com on some random number of visits???? It does not reroute me every time, and it occurs with both Internet Explorer (vs. 6.0.2800.1106) and Firefox (vs. 1.5.0.4)

Hope this helps a little.
 
I think we can close the call

Eagle,
I think we can close this call. Although we were unable to find the exact program or entry that was causing the redirect, we were able to devise a work around. It may not be the best solution, but spending anymore time on the problem would not turn up anything I think. Perhaps as others run into the same browser redirect in the future, more will be gleamed from it.

Thanks for the help.
