    hi everybody, my computer has got some sort of virus on it 'bloodhound' as described by norton. My web homepage is also hijacked to 'about:blank' and my computer is persistently trying to connect to the web. Anyway having done a bit of research i have learned a little about whats going on. I down loaded 'hijack this', ran it and saved the log which is as follows:

    Logfile of HijackThis v1.99.1

    Could anybody tell me which files to delete to solve my problem?? I took a shot in the dark already by deleting any files that made reference to 'about:blank' but they seemed to reappear straight away when i repeated the scan. Will this also solve my bloodhound problem?? Norton won't run properly anymore probably thanks to the virus interfereing.
    All suggestions appreciated,
    Mike

    Norton is s****! Use NOD32! (Or update the Norton, if you haven't done! :))

    also try and get your hands on CCleaner and Registry Mechanic. CCleaner is free and very good at cleaning your windows system. Registry mechanic is very good at repairing errors caused by malicious software, trojans and viruses but is not free.

    Also, you might wanna try out these out programs to scan/prevent any more browser-hijackers/spyware/adware...

    Microsoft AntiSpyware

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...a2-6a57-4c57-a8bd-dbf62eda9671&displaylang=en

    Bazooka Adware and Spyware Scanner:

    http://www.download.com/Bazooka-Adware-and-Spyware-Scanner/3000-8022_4-10377953.html?tag=lst-0-22

    Bazooka can help you detect hard to find adware/spyware components that the big name (Ad-Aware/Spybot/Spy Sweeper,etc. might miss). It only detects and won't remove anything. There are online instructions for you follow in the event it does detect something.

    Spyware Doctor:

    http://www.download.com/Spyware-Doctor/3000-8022_4-10377263.html

    Really good, but the real-time monitor is disabled unless you pay for that part. The scanner is pretty good and very fast...

    Spyware Blaster:

    http://javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

    Prevents spyware/browser helper objects from downloading/installing on to your comp, especially for IE

    Spyware Guard:

    http://javacoolsoftware.com/spywareguard.html

    This tool is helpful if you use IE as your main browser. This will alert you if there are browser helper objects being installed onto IE and will alert you if your homepage is being modified or not...

    Win Patrol:

    http://winpatrol.com/

    Useful in helping you manage your start-up entries (some spyware infest this area a lot), determine what exactly is running in memory (processes), what BHOs you have, monitoring file types, and again...watches over your browser, too....
