Having lost my internet connection, I called Comcast for assistance. The tech person walked me through a process in which we deleted cookies and internet files. That process restored the online connection, but the homepage that appeared was Dell's (I use a Dell 8400, Windows XP Pro and the most recent version of IE). We tried changing it back to Comcast using Tools, Internet Options, Homepage but the Dell homepage keeps coming back. I've run SpyBot and used the immunize feature. Kindly help me take back my original homepage. Thanks very much.
Here's my log:

If you have resolved your issues, post to let me know so I can close the topic. If you still need help, follow these directions.

1) You have Dell set as your Start Page??
R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.dell4me.com/myway

2) This version of HJT if outdated. Follow the directions in the "Before you Post" information to download the newest version of HJT and post a log created with it.

3) C:\Documents and Settings\Robert Masuo\Desktop\hijackthis.exe <<< delete this version completely.

4) Once I have an up to date HJT log I will look at it. You need not post anything else just now. You may add any comments you think will help.

Thanks

Thanks for returning this information and your feedback, here is what I see.

1) Check your Java, I think there is one update, remember to remove all old Java programs:
http://forums.spybot.info/showpost.php?p=12880&postcount=2

2) TeaTimer will block changes, turn it off until you are finished:
http://russelltexas.com/malware/teatimer.htm

3) Please download ATF Cleaner by Atribune
http://www.atribune.org/content/view/25/2/
Save it to your Desktop. We will use this later.

4) For your information, it is possible one of the programs you have installed is locking the HomePage, perhaps the new version of Ad-Aware (I kept the old version) or even your Symantec. If the HJT fix does not work, you should look in those programs options for settings that indicate they are locking your HomePage.
SpywareGuard <<< good program and it may block changes also, exit the SG in your System Tray. I will point out that SG and TT do the same thing, I suggest you use only one of those. I personally use SG (TT turned off) and use Spybot as a backup, on demand scan.

5) Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

Run ATF Cleaner
Double-click ATF-Cleaner.exe to run the program.
Click Select All found at the bottom of the list.
Click the Empty Selected button.
Click Exit on the Main menu to close the program.

Post a new HJT log, let me know if that did the trick.

Thanks...Phil
 
Dear Phil, I followed your instructions very carefully, but www.dell4me.com/myway keeps coming back. I changed to Comcast.net using Tools, Internet Options, but it Dell still comes back. I will past my new HJT log below. If you see anything that may help me please let me know. I would be much obliged. Thanks very much for you help. Even if Dell keeps hanging around, I have new Java programs, and other useful stull. Best regards. Pynapl
Oooops. I just scrolled down my new log and saw that I missed R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.dell4me.com/myway
I'll go back and delete it and let you know if that did the trick. Sorry. Pynapl

You have a new infection in your BHO's that was not there before? Most often when this occurs, TeaTimer is at fault, once again I will say I see SpywareGuard and TeaTimer both running and doing the same job. I have no doubt you need to remove one of those from your computer and I suggest you not turn on TeaTimer.

I will say it is not ususual for TeaTimer to block changes, it seems to retain them in memory. To get around this, uninstall Spybot completely. (won't be the first time I have had to do this) Turn off Ad-aware and SpywayGuard completely. Then try this again:

Open HijackThis and choose "Do a system scan only" then check the box in front of these line items:

Close all programs but HJT and all browser windows, then click on "Fix Checked"

Post a new HJT log, if the junk is all removed, reinstall Spybot and don't turn on TeaTimer.

Thanks
 
Dear Phil, I ran HJT again and checked off R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.dell4me.com/myway. I ran Attribune cleaner. The thing won't delete. It was still there when I ran system scan again.

I'm kind of leary about going into the registry by my self, but if you will tell me how to do it I'll give it a shot. I've been in registry before to delete MacAffee files, but that was some time ago.

Thanks, Pynapl
 
Phil, you got back to my last post so quickly, I neglected to read it.

By the way, I exited TT from the tray, but it's back after I reboot. So, I'm not sure how to turn the thing off.

I will have a good look at it later and follow your instructions. Will let you know the outcome. Thanks for your patience. Pynapl
 
Dear Phil: I followed your instructions and uninstalled Spybot and disabled Spyware Guard. AdAware 2007 does not have realtime protection. I ran HJT (scan only)and check off all but 02-BHO: IE [0CB66BA8-tE1F-4963-93D1-E1D6B78FE9A2} -C:\Program http://www.castlecops.com/clsid-31094.thml
I couldn't find it on the new HJT scan.

You'll see in the HJT log that the pesky Dell4me is still there. When I click IE the Dell page came up again. Anyhow, kindly take a look at the log below and let me know if there's anything you can do to help me. Much obliged. Pynapl

I am slightly puzzled just now, here is the HJT tutorial at Bleeping Computer:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial42.html
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial42.html#RDiag

these are items that should remove easily with HJT:

O16 - DPF: {CAFEEFAC-0016-0000-0002-ABCDEFFEDCBA} -

None of this is malware and except for not wanting the Dell item, could be left alone. Something is blocking the registry changes and the only thing I can think of is Spyward Guard at this point. Since the program is free from Javacool, why not try uninstalling it, restart the computer, then using HJT on those items. Once they are gone, reinstall SG from here:
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/tutorial50.html

I can tell you I regularly remove the Dell4Me junk, have two Dells myself I removed it from, and I never have a problem like this doing it. If it is not Spyware Guard then I am not sure. May be something in Symantec locking the homepage, you can ask their tech support.

I'll post this information for you now, but let me know if I can do more.

System Restore does not know the good files from the bad. In case bad stuff has gotten into your System Restore files, follow the instructions in this link to get clean System Restore files. Turn it off, reboot then turn it back on:

Phil: Many thanks for all your help. I'll try installing SG and try again. Comcast is my broadband provider, which is why I want to give Dell the boot. Will also look over the other information you sent. I sure learned a lot from all of this. Best regards. Pynapl
