Hey, lookanddiscover this...

I had that trojan infection today. It's nasty. It changed the home page on firefox and IE7 repeatedly.

I had "Eset smart security" as my "protection". It let this trojan onto the system and completely failed to detect it. So then I installed spybot S&D and that also failed to detect. Then I installed trial for ad-aware and that failed to detect.

So I wiped them all including Eset and went back to Kaspersky Internet Security (I had been using kaspersky for a year until my license ran out after which I switched to Eset). After installing Kaspersky, it immediately detected a trojan in the winsched.exe

I told it to delete and the system is ok at the moment but I have to reboot and see if the infection stays gone.

 

I can now confirm that Kaspersky Internet Security Suite 9 trial did in fact kill that winshed.exe (wwww.lookanddiscover.com) trojan effectively.

The trojan was in a software download. Kaspersky killed that as well.

 

the trojan is called Trojan.Win32.StartPage.dbm

 

Good to know that updated programs can now fix the root cause and not just clean up its effects like when I was going through the problems.
Thanks for posting extra info feathers6

 

Hi,

I'm not very well-known with this log or Hijack thing's.
All I know is that I have trouble with my homepage as well.

I tried the easy solution as refered above: the kaspersky anti virus thingy.
But I allready have Norton and those two can't work simultaniously.
So I cancelled the kaspersky, but still have this hijack problem.

Is there any other way I could possibly get rid of it?
Or make Norton Security Centre do the right thing?

(why do these Hijack thingy's even excist?)

TNX for you help in advance!
