rad msn com, ready to do battle, I need assistance

terryjr24 · Jun 20, 2007

Hmm, for some reason when I click the mvps.bat file, it pops up the dos looking screen and says press any key to continue. I press a key and the box dissapears and nothing else happens. You said it would change my host file to HOSTS.MVP so I searched for this folder and its not found so I dont think its installed and changed?

Mr_JAk3 · Jun 21, 2007

Hmm that's interesting. Please post a fresh HijackThis log :bigthumb:

Hello

Hmm maybe the hosts file is just locked.(Do you get any warnings when you've tried to replace it with hostsxpert?)

Let's try with these better instructions:

Download HostsXpert and unzip it to your desktop.

Open HostsXpert that you earlier unzipped on your desktop

Click "Make Hosts Writable?" upper right corner (if available)
Click "Restore Microsoft's Original Hosts File" and then click OK
Close HostsXpert

Note; IF you used any custom Hosts (eg. MVPS Hosts), you will have put them back manually

Now reboot and post a fresh HijackThis log. If this doesn't work we'll replace the hosts file manually. :bigthumb:

terryjr24 · Jun 23, 2007

MR_JAK3, the hosts file is unlocked and has been. It shows in the top left corner on mine. I ran hijack this and checked the boxes next to the pests and hit fix. Opened hostexpert and restored hosts file, then when up and locked it (read only). Then restarted just to see if it were locked if it would keep them from coming back. Well, it didnt work and the hosts file was unlocked again once restarted

. So, I went ahead ran hijackthis again and here is the log file. Looks like we will be doing this manually?

Ok let's see the manual way...

Go to Start >Run and type "Notepad" without the quotes
Copy the text from the quotebox to Notepad.

Copyright © 1993-1999 Microsoft Corp.
#
# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows.
#
# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each
# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should
# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.
# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one
# space.
#
# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual
# lines or following the machine name denoted by a "#" symbol.
#
# For example:
#
# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server
# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host
#
127.0.0.1 localhost

Go to the menu at the top of the Notepad file and Save as:

Name the file as hosts

MR_JAK3, its not offering to overwrite the current hosts file. I believe its because the current one has the windows symbol on it and asks what I want to open it with, and the hosts file im pasting in there looks like a notepad. I did save it as all files and not a txt file. Another thing I noticed is there are 10 back up hosts files all the same size. The imhosts, networks, protocol, and services files are inside this etc folder as well. I opened the current hosts file in their with notepad to see what it says. Here is the contents of that file.

There is nothing else in it. I was tempted to delete all this and paste the contents of the new hosts into it, but its gonna save it appearing to look like the notepad. Its too far over my head so I will wait to see what you say to do. Thanks,

Terry

Hi

Ok interesting...the files shows as notepad document as you opened it with notepad. But that doesn't matter.

Ok let's try this:

Download the following file to the root of you C-drive:

http://koti.mbnet.fi/jpk88/hosts

Then go to My Computer and Copy the "hosts" file from C-drive to C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc

Allow to replace if it asks. Then restart the computer and post a fresh HjT log :bigthumb:

---------------------------------

I gotta be able to save this file so that it looks like a windows file like the current host file does. At that point I believe it will prompt me to overwrite the existing file. Cant find any extension on the hosts file in properties. sigghhhh, right about now im wishing I could have 5 minutes alone with the person responsible for making this problem were trying to get rid of! Let me know what im doing wrong here or whatever is next. Thanks,

Terry

Mr_JAk3 · Jun 28, 2007

Ok the next thing to try.

Rename the current hosts file to hostsbackup

Then try to copy the hosts file to the C:\WINDOWS\System32\drivers\etc directory.

Let me know how it works. Also post the new HjT log.

Also if you loose connection, just rename hostsbackup back to hosts.

MR_JAK3,

I just wanted to thank you for your time helping me. It is a little unsatisfying that we never got it figured out but it's the time you spent, research and all that you did trying to help. I just want to let you know I appreciate it a lot. The hard drive in that computer we were working on failed last week, just started clicking out of no where. It won't boot anymore and we didn't have a back up drive on that computer so all is lost. Hard lessons learned! Thanks again,

Terry

Mr_JAk3 · Jul 7, 2007

Hello

I'm sorry to hear that...Don't worry about me, it happens....

Good luck with the fresh hard drive and remember my "stay clean" instructions :bigthumb:
