This one ? http://btcar.com/
Yep, that looks like it
What antispyware are you running , never heard of that one . Browser hijack I'm guessing but easy to fix I'm sure .
Have you tryed an online scan , like Trend Micro or the like ? Giant or a similar antisptware has a option to revert back to default settings .
I'm thinking you have to tighting up your anti malware programs , sounds easy I know but I'm surprised that Ive never heard of that btcar. cookie or what ever you what to call it .
After some thought it would piss me off to have to suffer with the malware crap .
Hijackthis may be of some help . I'll be honest and admit I don't understand all the entries but still : http://www.hijackthis.de/
I have run Trend, which did find a lot of garbage but left this, also ad-aware and spybot. I have also noticed a lock.exe file popping on and off now and then. It's located in C:\program files\internet explorer. Is this a valid windowns file?
Funny just had a similar problem yesterday friend had 12 Trojans , Trend Micro found but could n't correct . Hijackthis helped but still had a browser hijack .
I D/L a Trojan remover it was a 30 day trial but fixed the problem after countless tries . :dry:

I'll give it a try peat. Still have something left on here that is being a pain.
I can't get to the site peat moss. Might not be the site, but whatever is on this computer. I have noticed that whenever I try to visit any site like Trend or Panda I either get re-directed or it simply will not load. I'll run hi-jack this and see what I can find and then try the site again.
Have a look at whats starting at start up , maybe post your hijackthis log here and someone will help .
Patience friend it took me all morning yesterday , to solve my friends puter it was a combination of things that helped me solve it . Good luck .
I'll post a hi-jact this log on a couple of minutes. I have looked at the log and didn't notice anything to get too upset about, but I might have missed something.
Here's the log peat

Thanks Reality, I'll check it out.
Clear out your temporary internet folder and also remove winbrume.dll, it's a browser hijacker.;)
Thanks. I have removed the winbrume.dll file but still having a bit of problem. I no longer seem to be re-directed to the btcar site but I am having other difficutlies. For instances, one particular site I go to often I can view and access the main page but am not able to access any of the stories on sub-pages.
If you were on that site when you emptied your temp folder then you'll need to refresh the page.:)Quote:

Thanks. The sit is http://www.rightnation.us/news.php but I am fairly certain the problem is with me, not them.
There was something so simple I forgot to point it out , turn off System Restore . It sounds like your getting closer tho .
I don't have a problem with that page using IE or FF . I copied your log file on Hihjackthis de . as Reality suggested if you just fix the "nasties" your half way there. Upgrade your IE browser too and if using Spybot enable the Tea timer thing ?
Still say to tighten up your Malware program and try a different browser
see if that solves the problem . :)

Which ain't a bad thing by the way . :)
ok, I admit it, I'm a right winger. Cold hearted republican and all that stuff.
I did clear the temp. internet folder and no changes. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks everyone
Well if you tried all of the above I don't know what else to suggest other than formatting and reinstall .
As I said it took me many tries on my friends computer . My own system I would of just booted from Winxp and be done with it , but I "Back Up" religiously so its not a problem .
Thanks everyone. This one is puzzling. I really do not want to reformate or reinstall XP so I'll keep messing with it a while. Thanks again
