days ago i got hijacked - Nothing new in that, except
this time it was a real [censored] to get rid of.
- There were simply no tools available to remove this
"Home Search" thing. Finally I ended up
creating my own tool for it. USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK.
And if you find it helpful, then please do not hesitate
to make a contribution."
Symptoms:
- IE Hijacked to res://.dll/index.html#37049 PopUps
- Specific Words on webpages link to search pages.
1: Boot into safe mode
by tapping the f8 key as your computer boots. You
should do this before you see the Windows splash screen.
2: Also, make sure you
can see hidden files; Open My Computer and choose
Tools, then click on Folder Options, click on the
View tab and under Advanced Setting, choose Show Hidden
Files and Folders, then click on OK and close My Computer.
3: Right-click on My
Computer, Choose Manage, Double-click on Services
and Applications, Click on Services. In the righthand
column find "Network Security Service",
and double-click on it. (In Safe Mode this may already
be stopped) Choose Stop and then write down the name
and path of the file in the "Path to Executable"
section. Set the Startup Type to Disabled. Click Ok.
Close the Computer Management window
Limitations: When finished,
you will get a web page saying it worked as your home
page. This is normal. You will need to reset your
home page manually via tools, internet options. We
have run the tool, it is spyware free and appears
to not cause any problems. That said, you should have
your computer backed up when installing any third
party applications.
