When I try to launch IE, it wont let me load any sites. Any URL I type in takes me to the same error page, saying that I have spyware, and giving me a link I could click on to fix it, but I dont.
I ran my virus program, and it said everything is fine.. but when I run my ad-aware, it comes up with a 'CoolWebPage' thing. I get rid of it, re-scan, and everything is fine.. so I launch IE, it still doesn't work. Scan again, and the CoolWebPage thing is back. Arg.

Hi exellin, welcome to SAF

It seems that you have some malware running... as I'm not a "specialist" on HJT, I strongly recommend that you wait for some advices (people uses to hang out on the week-end lol.gif (and hangover too lol.gif ))

try running updated AdAware and Spybot S&D and post a new HijackThis log after... If you did'nt disabled system restore, try first to restore it to a point that it was running fine.

Have a good and safe week-end.

Yes, you've got some Trojans on board there. Can you do the following please:

  • Please set your system to show
    all files; please see here if you're unsure how to do this.

  • Press Control-Alt-Del to enter the Task Manager. Click on the Processes tab and end the following processes:

    C:\WINDOWS\System32\SMSSU.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\Tmntsrv32.EXE


    Exit the Task Manager when finished.

  • Do you recognise this as your ISP or as something legitimate:

    If so, then leave the blue entry in the lines to fix below. Otherwise, fix it along with the others as described.

  • Close all programs leaving only HijackThis running. Place a check against each of the following, making sure you get them all and not any others by mistake:

    R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://default.home
    R0 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://default.home

    Click on Fix Checked when finished and exit HijackThis.

  • Reboot into Safe Mode: please see here if you are not sure how to do this.

    Using Windows Explorer, locate the following files/folders, and delete them:

    C:\WINDOWS\System32\SMSSU.EXE
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\Tmntsrv32.EXE


    Exit Explorer, and reboot as normal afterwards.

  • If you were unable to find any of the files then please follow these additional instructions:

    Download Pocket Killbox and unzip it; save it to your Desktop.

    Run it, and click the radio button that says Delete a file on reboot. For each of the files you could not delete, paste them one at a time into the full path of file to delete box and click the red circle with a white cross in it.

    The program will ask you if you want to reboot; say No each time until the last one has been pasted in whereupon you should answer Yes.

    Let the system reboot.



Go to the top of this page, under Virus Info and choose Free Virus Scan. Install and run Trend Micro's HouseCall Free Virus Scanner and get it to scan your hard drive and fix any viruses it detects.

Do install and run Ad-Aware as suggested by Ironbender; update it and have it perform a full system scan and get it to fix any problems it finds.

Post back a fresh HijackThis log and we will take another look.
