    What lines, what field? Those about:blank entires and the 020 are still there.

    How are things running?

    I suppose the same as before all of this mess began. emachines is a piece of junk anyway, but it's all I've got . . . The Embarq/Sprint tech had me perform several tests which determined that the problem was not inside the house but somewhere in-between. The field guy called from the main station and said that he had an idea of what the problem could be and fixed it from where he was. I am not familiar with the phone system or how it works, but the speed was well below even a dial up connection and I am paying for 5.0 DSL, the highest available from Embarq/Sprint. So I am back up to speed in that area.

    Do you think what the AVG techs predicted is possible? My brother suggested reformatting . . . ?

    Well, AVG is right about:

    Let's try this. Run a scan only with HijackThis, check to fix these.

    [bold]R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Page_URL = about:blank

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = about:blank

    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Default_Search_URL = about:blank

    R1 - HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = about:blank

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,SearchAssistant = about:blank

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Search,CustomizeSearch = about:blank

    O1 - Hosts: comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

    O20 - Winlogon Notify: GuardianNOFUL - ðì. (file missing) [/bold]

    ONLY if this is NOT your IP/s.

    [bold]O17 - HKLM\System\CCS\Services\Tcpip\..\{8BE678E3-5C48-4723-AF53-8A33B0B78FD8}: NameServer = 204.117.214.10,199.2.252.10 [/bold]

    Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fox checked.

    Restart and post a new HijackThis log.

    How about an online scan now? Can your run Kaspersky since loading is good now?

    I performed that asks noted and tried to post to the forum but no addresses are found that I type in the address bar. (Alert! forums.afterdawn.com could not be found . . . is an example fo the message received when trying to access any page on the internet via Mozilla. IE does not even come up.) It seems as though I have lost some valuable ingredient here . . . I can't even get onto Thunderbird to check my email as the Pop.mail server cannot be found . . . HELP!

    You deleted the 017 entry, that was your IP.

    Open the HijackThis.
    Click "Open the Misc Tools section".
    Click "Backups".
    Select and restore all.

    Next, fix ONLY the "about:blank" entires.

    Restart and then try running an online scan.

    I am back on . . . here is the log and I will restart and scan with Kaspersky . . . Do you think the "O20 - Winlogon Notify: GuardianNOFUL - ðì. (file missing)" is related to PeerGuardian? Should I delete this too?

    No, I don't think it's related to PeerGuardian. I have PG and have seen many logs with PG and have never seen this "GuardianNOFUL".

    Yes, you should try to fix it with HijackThis. Fix these two:

    [bold]O1 - Hosts: comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

    O20 - Winlogon Notify: GuardianNOFUL - ðì. (file missing) [/bold]

    Any luck with an online scan yet?
