    Default Re: Home Search Problem

    Please print out or copy this page to Notepad. Make sure to work through the fixes in the exact order it is mentioned below. If there's anything that you don't understand, ask your question(s) before proceeding with the fixes. You should not have any open browsers when you are following the procedures below.

    Go to My Computer->Tools/View->Folder Options->View tab and make sure that 'Show hidden files and folders' (or 'Show all files') is enabled.

    For the options that you checked/enabled earlier, you may uncheck them after your log is clean. If we ask you to fix a program that you use or want to keep, please post back saying that (we don't know every program that exists, so we may tell you to delete a program that we think is bad to keep).

    Download CWShredder (http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/CWShredder.exe) and run it. Click on 'I Agree' button if you agree with it. Click on 'Fix' (it will automatically fix anything it finds for you) and OK. If it asks if you want to delete a certain random file, choose No and post that filename here. Let it finish the scan and then hit Next and Exit.

    Download AboutBuster (http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/AboutBuster.zip) and unzip it to a folder on your the Desktop. Do not run it yet.

    Right click on this link (http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/DelO15Domains.inf) and choose Save As. Save it to your desktop. Right click on that file and choose Install. You may delete it afterwards.

    Download FixAgent (http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/FixAgent.zip) and unzip it. Run FixAgent.exe. It should fix something. If nothing is fixed, skip to the next step for the HijackThis fixes. If something is found, also download home_missing_114 (http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/home_missing_114.zip) and unzip it. Run the Home winkey missing batch file. Remember: ONLY run home_missing_114 if FixAgent found something.

    The Temp folders should be cleaned out periodically as installation programs and hijack programs leave a lot of junk there. Download CleanUp! (http://cleanup.stevengould.org/) (Alternate Link if main link don't work (http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/Cleanup.exe)) and install it. Run CleanUp! and click on CleanUp! button. When it asks you if you want to logoff, click on Yes.

    Reboot into Safe Mode (hit F8 key until menu shows up). Make sure to close any open browsers. Go into HijackThis->Config->Misc. Tools->Open process manager. Select the following and click Kill process for each one if they are still listed (they shouldn't be - but double check it):

    C:\WINNT\system32\ntbw.exe
    C:\WINNT\msii.exe

    Run a scan in HijackThis. Check each of the following and hit 'Fix checked' (after checking them) if they still exist (make sure not to miss any):

    O23 - Service: Remote Procedure Call (RPC) Helper - Unknown - C:\WINNT\apicy.exe (file missing)

    Delete the following Files/Folders (delete folders if no filename is specified) according to their directory (if none, just do a search for them) and delete them if they exist:

    C:\WINNT\msii.exe
    C:\WINNT\xufvr.dll
    C:\WINNT\system32\ntbw.exe
    C:\WINNT\system32\apior.dll

    Reboot into Normal Mode and run new HijackThis scan. If there were some entries that didn't show up in Safe Mode, you may check and fix those that appear now in normal mode (if you do that, make sure to run a new scan again). Save the log file and run KRC HijackThis Analyzer (http://www.greyknight17.com/spy/KRC%...20Analyzer.zip) in the same folder to get the result.txt log. Just post the contents of the result.txt file in the forum.
