Yesterday my sister was complainging about some spyware on her computer (my old computer). It was a search bar, and search program, cahnged the default search engine, and our home page.
I removed teh spyware with spysweeper, then I used alt ctrl del to close any programs that shoudln't be there, ran msconfig and stopped tha stuff starting up, then I deleted all the spyware folders (there was no add\remove programs uninstall thing). Finally I ran hijackthis! and I removed a few things relating to the spyware.
Final result was:
Changed the home page back, that works fine.
Changed teh default search engine back (google)
Typing something into google home page to search works.
BUT typing something into the top address bar in IE results in "this page cannot be displayed."
Tried numerous different times to apply the regustry fix to make google the search engine, not working.
This was all yesterday, today after a couple restarts and stuff still doesn't work, and i just finished running hijackthis! and spysweeper again and they find nothing. Here is the hijackthis! log:
Any ideas? I want this fixed, and am not reinstalling windows on it becuase it takes like hours and hours and hours since it's so old and slow lol.Logfile of HijackThis v1.97.7
